He hated his former boss

One notable exception to the kissing of the butt of the cable boss who just left, is the offspring to the jeans lady.

He hated his former boss and it would not be a surprise to know he was responsible for several leaks to the media, about the former boss.

‘Who Would Had Ever Given Brian His Own TV Show If It Wasn’t For Jeff?’ CNN Insiders Call For Its Media Correspondent Brian Stelter To Be Fired

Following the dramatic resignation of CNN boss Jeff Zucker, insiders tell Radar that Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, and everyone else that was a VIP member of the “Jeff Zucker’s Boys Club” is terrified that they will be out next.

“Jeff ran CNN like his own personal club. There were a handful of favorites that made up his inner circle and everyone else. Jeff created a world where he was a King. He isn’t charming or good-looking, but he was powerful, which is why Anderson and everyone else kissed his ass. Let’s be honest, do you really think someone that looks like Jeff Zucker would be friends with Anderson Cooper?” an insider asked Radar.

However, now that the King is dead, all his subjects, especially his favorites are running around with their heads cut off.

“Anderson Cooper is the Paris Hilton of TV. He has no qualification apart from the fact that he was one of Zucker’s chosen people. Don Lemon has even less credentials, but once again he had what mattered, Jeff’s approval. And don’t get me started on Brian Stelter (CNN’s media reporter) Really, who would have ever given Brian his own TV show if it wasn’t for Jeff?”

The fear is that whoever replaces Zucker will be far more concerned about a little thing called ratings rather than loyalty, which isn’t good news for Cooper, Lemon, or Stelter. – Source
