CNN host Brian Stetler is now being accused by the publication Radar online of attempting to run interference for his now disgraced former boss Jeff Zucker when the publication attempted to pry into the details of Zucker’s alleged affair with his subordinate.

A subordinate who also happened to be a loyal former employee of former Governor Andrew Cuomo.

As Fox News reports:

Radar Online’s Ryan Naumann asked, “Did Jeff Zucker order one of his prized on-air talents to trash Radar?” He then elaborated on the theory.
“After learning that this website was poised to publish the exposé about his clandestine and career shattering romance with top lieutenant Allison Gollust, CNN published a story that aimed to discredit Radar’s reporting, it can be revealed for the first time,” Radar Online wrote, noting a Jan. 3, 2022 tidbit from Stelter’s newsletter in which he accused the publication of spreading “lies.” 

“They post something nutty; they claim to have multiple sources, but they don’t check with the subject at all; and they aren’t swayed by reality,” Stelter wrote of Radar Online the day before it reported the news of Zucker’s relationship with Gollust.

Radar then quoted several anonymous media industry insiders making comments such as, “Perhaps Zucker and Gollust thought they could use this preemptive strike to stop the investigation into their romance… if they did, Zucker has more damage on his hands. An investigation needs to be opened into the role he and Gollust might have played in the Stelter attack. That would be nothing short of a phenomenal breach of the network’s code of conduct and would force Stelter, along with Gollust, to be forced to quit.”

If proven true, the accusations would likely be considered a major breach of journalistic ethics on Stelter’s part.

  1. It seems that what “CNN’s Reliable Sources media newsletter published” is an exact description of how CNN reports their “Fake News”. It seems that liberals always accuse those that they don’t agree with of doing exactly what they always do, especially CNN.

  2. This is not what caused Zucker to resign. This affair with wife of an FBI agent was well known. Cuomo has something bigger than mud and mire of already released CNN misdeeds. When revealed it will be the final curtain for CNN. Good thing there’s new owners of CNN. It will be worthless. Cuomo is going scorched earth.

  3. You said it would be “a major breach of journalistic ethics” …

    Methinks you must HAVE some ethics before you can be guilty of said breach!

  4. Stetler is just one of the hundreds of media people that have absolutely no ethics or principles in their daily lives. No integrity whatsoever. He is guilty as hell of trying to cover up for Zucker. As far as CNN goes, they have never had any journalistic integrity nor eithics since their inception. Smoke and mirrors is how they play their hand. Maybe someday the media will realize that that the average American is disgusted by their lack of ethics and will hold them accountable for their corruption and lack of morals. But dont hold your breath!

  5. Andy Cohen only cares about himself and Anderson Cooper (who he’s infatuated with). Nothing anything Mr.Cohen should be taken with a grain of salt. He gushes about his “friend” Anderson way too much for it to be just a friendship.
