CNN Host Confronts Zucker Over Hunter Biden Story


Former CNN boss Jeff Zucker was confronted by CNN host Michael Smerconish in a conversation about media, with Smerconish telling him it was 'partisan' to not give much air time to the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop.

 
The Daily Mail reports Smerconish grilled the two former bosses at one point over the Hunter Biden controversy and asked if they 'regret' the coverage - or lack thereof - they gave the story. 

Smerconish said that regardless of not knowing all the facts, 'I think that we looked partisan by not giving it some air,' to which Zucker replied 'I don't disagree with that.' 




Zucker, who stepped down from the network after his affair with staffer Allison Gollust was revealed, has seen a change in personnel at his former network by new boss Chris Licht. Licht has reportedly aimed to shift the network away from opinions and more towards hard news.
