    If Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Francisco Cortes, Judy Slater, Bill Shine, Bob Beckel, Jamie Horowitz, and Charles Payne didn't bring down Fox News, I don't think CNN has much to worry about.

    But your previous posts about FOX and its loyal watchers would indicate
    that you don't believe that ethics breaches like these would bother their audience.

    I think the original poster's point is that they should bother CNN's
    alleged audience, which would probably be people who think more like you.

    The problems have been solved, either by resignation or by corporate action. Cuomo was fired for trying to help his brother and Zucker resigned, after firing Cuomo, for failing to report a consensual relationship with a
    co-worker. While unethical, neither of these rises to the level of the
    scandals that were going on over at Fox, either in quality or quantity.

    Unethical acts are all unethical, but not all unethical acts are equivalent.
