AT&T will look to “neutralize” CNN President Jeff Zucker after it buys Time Warner, The Post has learned.

The buzz from the telecommunications giant comes as CNN is being slammed for highly publicized missteps — including botched reports tied to the federal probe of possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, according to three sources familiar with the thinking of AT&T brass.
The missteps, which also include a profane anti-Trump tweet by Reza Aslan, a CNN host, have made CNN too polarizing an asset for execs at the blue chip company, a source said.

Aslan saw his CNN show, “Believer,” get canceled in the wake of the tweet.

The $85 billion acquisition of CNN parent Time Warner by AT&T could win antitrust approval by the Justice Department in the next 60 days, sources said.

“There was early talk about the way Zucker managed that wasn’t a good fit for the new organization,” one source said. “They were eyeing ways to neutralize him.”

That desire leaves Zucker facing an uncertain future that includes the possibility of getting unceremoniously dumped, one source said.

Other potential scenarios include AT&T kicking the 52-year-old executive upstairs with a corporate title that strips him of any power over CNN — or a sale of the network that would let AT&T wash its hands of any future messes.

I'd like to give Zucker the credit he deserves.

For most of the Bush and Obama years MSNBC was the main network for the far left wing crazies. But ever since CNN hired Zucker CNN has supplanted MSNBC in that department and are now also competitive with them in the ratings.


They should keep him. If not somebody else will hire him.

Even without the left wing shilling, Zucker has turned CNN into a joke. The non-stop "BREAKING NEWS" hook, the documentaries and game shows in lieu of real news programming, etc. have turned it into something from The Running Man or Robocop.

That's what they get for hiring an entertainment TV guy to run their news network. Slanted or not, they used to be at least credible before he showed up. Now, they're on par with tabloids.

This would be a great triumph for humanity in general, though. People like Zucker think that they can spout whatever bullshite they like and the idiot livestock public will believe it and do as they are told. Guess not, Jeff.

I thought Trump said he would look to block this?
