Zuckerberg of CNN Resigns over Destroying “The Most Trusted Name in News”
Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Feb 3, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Between January 2013 and February 2022, Jeff Zuckerberg has been running CNN. He has now at last resigned after a disastrous job performance. Zuckerberg turned his personal hatred of Donald Trump into a vendetta. Fox News made history in January 2022 as it became the first cable news network to top the charts for 20 years in a row. That score was in terms of both total average viewers and in the key 25-54 age demographic. CNN network’s overall drop in year-over-year ratings was greater than its competitors.
MSNBC was down 60% in total viewers and 75% in the demographics for daytime programming compared to 2021. During the prime time slot, the MSNBC network was down 56% in total viewers and 73% in the demographics.
CNN meanwhile came in down 74% in total viewers and 81% in the demographics. During the daytime viewers, it was down 77% in total viewers and 82% down in the demographics during prime time.
The real word on the street is Zuckerberg’s leadership has taken CNN from #1 to dead last. Before Zuckerberg, CNN had branded itself around reporting resources and its global reach. CNN turned its back on in-depth story packages and live event coverage. PEW research found that overall the networks began using cheaper, more provocative debate forums or interviews to grab ratings. No longer was reporting the news the real objective, Zuckerberg turned CNN into yellow journalism and just launched an opinion-oriented service abandoning independent news.
Zuckerberg has successfully taken CNN from the #1 slot to dead last. His departure over the internal sex affair, where she remains but he leaves, is the cover story for his failure in running CNN and destroying it’s the once-famous tagline: “The Most Trusted Name in News.”
CNN was founded in 1980 and as it heads into its 43 years cyclical low (5 x 8.6) due in 2023, perhaps we will see a turnaround getting back to independent news or just close up shop altogether.
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson has more Democrats tuning into his show than CNN or MSNBC. Just maybe, most Democrats are middle of the road and do not support these crazy policies of defunding the police and the WOKE movement. They do not support people like George Soros trying to pour money into the Defund Police Movement that has created total chaos in California, Chicago, and New York City. This is not the vision of America they want to leave their children where it is no longer safe to walk into a store or down the street.
CNN President Jeff Zucker Resigns After Being Caught Lying About Long-Term Intimate Relationship with CNN Executive Allison Gollust
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 2, 2022 | Sundance | 455 Comments
Jeff Zucker abruptly resigned from CNN releasing a statement: “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” Mr. Zucker wrote. “I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.”

Apparently, Jeff Zucker has been involved in a long-term relationship with a woman named Allison Gollust as she worked her way through the ranks at CNN throughout her career.
Ms. Gollust is currently CNN’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, positioning her as one of the highest-ranking leaders within the network, closely involved in major business and communications decisions.
Ms. Gollust said in another statement Wednesday she was remaining in her role at CNN: “Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years,” she wrote. “Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do every day.”
Essentially, what appears to have taken place is then married Jeff Zucker and then married Allison Gollust beginning a relationship many years ago, and Zucker advancing Gollust throughout her career, even to the point of her physical location living above him. Both of them eventually divorced from their respective spouses, and yet the network, or at least the board of directors, was “unaware” of their relationship.
Interestingly, RadarOnline wrote about Gollust and Zucker a month ago as it pertains to the firing of Chris Cuomo and the fight over a subsequent exit package of compensation {Read Here}. The RadarOnline article tells the story of the real dynamic, and in hindsight, their suspicions are almost certainly accurate now:
[…] “The talk in the corridors of CNN about Jeff and Allison’s purported relationship complicates the sticky decision to fire Chris,” said one highly placed source. “Have they sullied the network’s reputation? One could argue they have; it just hasn’t been made public yet.”
It also calls into question the hypocrisy of Zucker and Gollust who initially stood by Cuomo when it emerged he rushed to the aid of his embattled brother, the former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Gollust, a veteran public relations expert, once worked as the Democratic lawmaker’s communications director, and rumor mongers inside CNN HQ told Radar that her past job with Cuomo and claims of a romantic relationship raise questions about why Zucker initially protected the embattled brothers.
The alleged affair is said to have begun while the pair were both married: Zucker to wife Caryn and Gollust to husband Billy. Five years after Gollust joined CNN, Zucker announced he and his wife had split after 21 years of marriage. It was said they had simply “grown apart” and the marriage had been dead for 10 years.

It’s all an internecine mess but explains the situation.
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, a media personality very familiar with sexual relationships as a technique to advance in positions of broadcast power and network influence, notes the scale of what Zucker did to keep Gollust around will likely shock CNN followers. It appears Ms. Kelly has some details of her own; after all, she was heavily recruited by CNN after Kelly announced her departure from Fox.

Neil Young – Is He Just Anti-American or Another Elite Hard Leftist?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re- Posted Feb 1, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: What do you think of the Neil Young v Joe Rogan conflict?
WQ
ANSWER: Neil Young I believe is anti-American and of course, he lives in Redwood City, California. Young displays the very anti-Constitutional position of a typical left-wing Democrat who thinks anyone who disagrees with him should be canceled and denied all rights. Free Speech is what our nation was founded on. Young seems to ignore the very freedom that allowed him to follow his own passions. He certainly does not have a heart of gold.
A Communist can advocate Communism in America but a person living under Communism cannot advocate freedom and still survive. That is what Free Speech is all about. You are acting like a communist demanding silence from anyone who dares to speak out. Even Lynyrd Skynyrd called Young out for his pompous attitude in Sweet Home Alabama: “I hope Neil Young will remember. A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow!”
Any of these over-the-hill artists living off of yesterday who have pulled their songs from Spotify because of Rogan’s interviews of two qualified people, I say good riddance! Go back to your drugs and keep voting for Biden for I think you are probably on the same level and page mentally. Entertainment should remain as entertainment. When they get so full of themselves to think they can use that to further their personal political agenda, that to me is the same as a corrupt politician using their position for insider trading.
Dr. Peter McCullough has come out and stated that Spotify never contacted him. If I were him, I would file a suit against you, Neil, for the deformation of character. Make you prove McCullough is wrong and put out misinformation. I would pay to see that on a PodCast. I think it is about time someone challenges your arrogance Neil – enough is enough.
Neil, don’t worry. Like Johnny Paycheck sang “Take This Job And Shove It“, you can do the same with your music. Personally, I always liked Sweet Home Alabama better than anything you ever did!
That’s my OPINION. Free SPeech means we also must listen to the opposition. If you disagree, Move to Cuba or Venezuela – Please!
A LETTER TO MY ATTORNEY FRIEND WHO I CONSULTED ABOUT LEGAL STRATEGIES TO GET REPURPOSED DRUGS TO COVID PATIENTS

Dear John,
I hope things with you and the kids are good. Our Zoom meeting with my COVID expert friend and your associates in your law firm 6 months ago was very interesting. He explained the fraud going on multiple fronts that is going on and the failure of the press to report it in large part due to the Trusted News Initiative. It has very likely resulted in millions of unnecessary deaths worldwide, innumerable unnecessary hospitalizations, untold economic damage and led to governments instituting insane lockdown policies and mandatory vaccination.
I’m sorry you didn’t feel there was a strategy you could pursue at that time. You seemed most interested in liability for the hospitals who denied ivermectin to patients who subsequently died. There will be strong legal strategies in the future. I have now written eight (8) articles on repurposed drugs for Trialsite News plus serve on the advisory committee.Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “Coronavirus” ChannelNo spam – we promise
Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone and several others could be expert witnesses for you in the future if they feel there is a strong case. Dr. Malone, a key early pioneer involved with the emergence of mRNA technology, served as a respectable virologist and government drug development insider. Today he led a group in Washington to fight for truth and medical freedom. He has 17,000 physicians and researchers who have signed a petition.
Hospital systems continue to refuse to give patients ivermectin when families request it. The patients who win in court usually live. Those who lose in court almost always die. I doubt that there will ever be a large enough study to prove that treating that type of patient with ivermectin works but other data exists as to its benefit as in Uttar Pradesh, India, 240 million where ivermectin has crushed COVID and Brazil where in a town of 223,000, 160,000 were randomized to ivermectin prevention or no treatment. Those who got a low dose of ivermectin about 4 times a month were 44% less likely to get infected, 56% less likely to be hospitalized and 70% less likely to die. The unvaccinated could certainly be helped by ivermectin prevention. Unfortunately, data like this, called observational data, is discounted by those in power in favor of randomized trial data which is at the mercy of the biases of those conducting the studies.
There are four large, randomized trials of ivermectin, all of which gave or are giving one third or less of the proper dose of ivermectin for early treatment of the delta variant. The results of the Together Trial were announced 8/6 as showing “absolutely no benefit” but the actual data showed a borderline statistically significant 9% decrease in admissions and 18% decrease in mortality.
Dr. Edward Mills, affiliated with a program that has received some Bill Gates funding, ran that trial. NIH chose not to study ivermectin until their ACTIV-6 trial started enrolling patients the same time as the Together results were announced. They decided to go ahead and give patients a lower dose than in Together where ivermectin showed borderline results. By then we had 80% delta. Dr. Pierre Kory found out that delta needed a much higher dose of ivermectin and put it on the FLCCC Alliance website. I made the ACTIV-6 principal investigator and others involved aware of their dosing snafu on 10/18. My email was acknowledged by NIAID deputy director Dr. Cliff Lane who said it would be addressed by the appropriate people. There was a rumor that they considered adding a new arm with appropriate dosing, but they did nothing.
ACTIV-6’s ivermectin data should be ready in about 2 months. Should ivermectin show no benefit they may or may not publicly admit that it was underdosed and it needs a new trial. If they don’t acknowledge it, someone will call out NIH for randomizing patients to placebo or a dose they knew was unlikely to work then doing nothing when they were made aware of their dosing error. An unacceptable ethical failing. I don’t think the principal investigator, Dr. Susanna Naggie from Duke, wants her career ruined.
Meanwhile the COVID-OUT data will come out very soon. They were 3 months into their trial when Together was announced and 5 months into it and 75% subscribed before they knew of the new FLCCC recommendations. They had no more money, something ACTIV-6 can’t claim. Many patients in Brazil in Together had a nasty gamma variant and ivermectin was sold over the counter there so their trial could turn out positive despite using a similar dose. COVID-OUT has alpha, delta, and omicron patients. First, I hope that their study will show positive results. Next, I hope they will admit that the study was underdosed for delta and that patients probably would have done better with a higher dose. It will be interesting what NIH will do if their study is positive. An EUA is unlikely.
I doubt hospital systems will be vulnerable as their position is that the FDA recommends against ivermectin. Despite there being no evidence of toxicity and hospitals not having restricted doctors choices previously, it will be hard to win. Even if you prove the FDA was wrong, you will have to prove that the hospitals should have known the FDA was wrong. Hospitals have greatly benefitted from COVID financially. They are paid extra for the patients, extra if the patients die and extra for giving them remdesivir which is a lousy drug. They have a financial disincentive to see early treatment instituted widely which would decrease hospitalizations and have used their clout to punish those physicians who speak out against mandates and suppression of early therapies. ENT doctor Mary Bowden was suspended by Houston Methodist for publicly speaking out against vaccine mandates and giving her 2000 COVID patients successful early treatment. She is suing them to among other things find out about their finances during COVID.
A better target is pharmacists who will not stock or sell ivermectin. The few who do sell it charge exorbitant prices. They know there is no data showing that pharmacists selling ivermectin have toxicity. They will claim that the FDA recommends against it, and they are doing it to protect the public. These are the same guys who sold as much oxycontin as they could get. They stopped selling ivermectin because of their fear of the FDA. If ivermectin shows benefit in COVID-OUT they have no leg to stand on. If they still fail to stock and sell it, they will be a target for you. I will keep you informed.
The Wall Street Journal did an article 12/28 in which it chastised the government for not getting fluvoxamine to the public. It’s a generic SSRI. In the Together Trial, the results of which were announced 8/6 and published in The Lancet Global Health 10/27, in 1497 patients, in those who finished the trial, it lowered admissions 32% and deaths 91%. In addition, the sponsor, Steve Kirsch, reported that no one treated with it gets long COVID which is about 20% of those infected.
NIH says the data is insufficient to use a $1 a day drug with 30 years of safety data. Meanwhile Merck’s molnupiravir which may be dangerous and had similar data got emergency use authorization. Dr. Boulware who has done a video for TrialSite News on repurposed drugs, filed an emergency use application for fluvoxamine 12/21 which the FDA which has ignored,
He is running COVID-OUT testing ivermectin and fluvoxamine. Tom Avril of the Philadelphia Inquirer at my request did an article on fluvoxamine Friday. I’m hoping Tom will be doing more articles about repurposed drugs. Many newspapers declined to report on it even though it would have helped a lot of people, especially the unvaccinated.
The next drug to go public will be famotidine (Pepcid). A 56 patient randomized trial of famotidine 80 mg 3 times a day vs. placebo will be published in a major journal very soon showing great benefit. There was plenty of reason for NIH to have sponsored a large trial over a year ago. Famotidine blocks H2 receptors on mast cells which normally cause allergies by releasing histamine. The president and head of research for the big allergy/immunology group, AAAAI, 7000 allergists, were very excited about it. They sent my email to the coronavirus task force. 3 weeks later they suddenly turned cold and did nothing. I suspect the worst.
At some point we will have the data to support a claim that the government intentionally unreasonably failed to give emergency use authorization to fluvoxamine, failed to study then sabotaged the study of famotidine and failed to study ivermectin until August 2021 then did everything possible to sabotage it. The government appeared to have sabotaged hydroxychloroquine, but it will be harder to prove. The reason for the government’s actions is because the success of repurposed drugs would have increased vaccine hesitancy and possibly make vaccines unnecessary. Around the world where vaccines are unavailable, repurposed drugs would have made a tremendous difference. Getting damages from the government will be difficult but it could be a fee for service or even a pro bono case for the benefit of COVID infected people all over the world.
The people I deal with only care about getting proper treatment for patients. A bonus would be to get rid of Fauci and assorted dangerous bureaucrats that say they’re pro-public health, yet their behavior indicates something altogether to the contrary. The public strongly disapproves of the vaccine mandates and associated haphazard public health by bureaucratic impulse, but Fauci’s irrational exuberance for his own top-down, hubris-driven program will crush the Democrats for many years when it’s exposed.
The press and social media have conspired with the government and drug companies, culminating in the Trusted News Initiative, to censor information different from the party line. I would think as attorneys you would find the suppression of information by those in power that would greatly decrease tremendous human suffering would be reprehensible and you would want to fight against it.
Think carefully about the true risk-benefit analysis associated with vaccination prior to subjecting your children to the regimen. The risk from COVID for healthy children is very low. Their risk from the vaccine appears to be higher. That’s why in the Nordic nations for example holds were placed on the Moderna vaccine for young people under 30.
While industry and public health authorities deny this reality, I put forth here that vaccines spread through your body and induce one’s cells to produce spike protein which is not the same as the one the virus has. The spike protein is toxic. So are the lipid nanoparticles used to deliver it. Insurance companies are reporting a 40% increase in all-cause mortality in 2021 for those 18-64 years old. One in 2700 young men is reported to get myocarditis which can shorten their life. I suspect that if a troponin blood test were done on every patient, that number would be a lot higher.
There have been hundreds of young athletes who died suddenly, far more than in the past. I’m sure the increase in all-cause mortality is multifactorial but I believe that sooner or later some of it will be attributed directly to the vaccines. 79,000 people in Australia have sued the government for damage from the vaccines. Unfortunately, vaccine makers are indemnified in America, but their executives could face criminal prosecution in the future.
The CDC has said that vaccine induced immunity was better than immunity from natural infection, but most data suggests the opposite. Wednesday the CDC admitted that since the delta variant, natural immunity is significantly better. The mandates which include mandating vaccination of the 50% of the country previously infected whose immunity is better than those who are vaccinated are absurd. The NIH/Biden logic is that if 100% of the country is vaccinated. we will have herd immunity. It is true that if 100% were vaccinated, fewer would be in the hospital and the vaccinated would be less likely to be infected by the unvaccinated but with these vaccines, the vaccinated people will always spread the virus to each other.
The Biden/NIH logic further goes that the only way to make sure that there is no one left unvaccinated is to vaccinate everyone whether they need it or not. Asking people for proof of previous infection has not been considered. Vaccines have toxicity as evidenced, despite denials by the government, by the 900,000 reports on VAERS, the vaccine adverse event reporting system which is a gross underestimate of the problems caused by the vaccines. Many people who have had COVID fret that exposure to the vaccine only gives them risk and not surprisingly resist. Drug companies and the government are pushing the idea of needing a new shot every 3-4 months for life. It’s not working in Israel. No one has any idea what problems lifelong shots would cause. After All this has never been studied. What happened to the Declaration of Helsinki and good clinical practices?
I just watched Alex Witt and a guest on MSNBC covering Stop the Mandates in Washington DC. I hate Trump and love MSNBC during the election but every word they said today was false. She knows no science and sounds like a Fauci/Biden/ lobbyist. Her expert sounded like he worked for Pfizer. CNN wasn’t as bad but said the rally was about people who don’t trust the government. I’m not sure the press will ever tell people the truth about repurposed drugs even if it is conclusively shown that the government healthcare agencies deliberately tanked repurposed drugs that would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. I know your law firm has mostly Democrats. I hope that if I come to you with a strong, profitable case that will benefit COVID patients but hurt those that have seemingly conspired to thwart economically repurposed drugs at every turn, your law firm will be willing to take it on. Life is too short not to do the right thing.

Full Video Discussion of Ron Johnson Panel, COVID-19 A Different Opinion
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 24, 2022 | Sundance | 117 Comments
Earlier today Senator Ron Johnson held a roundtable hearing with some of the most prominent medical and scientific voices against the vaccination mandate. The full 5-hour hearing video is available HERE on Rumble and posted below:
The hearing starts at 40:45 of the video: “A group of world-renowned doctors and medical experts provide a different perspective on the global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be addressed long term.”

Facebook Continues to Mute the Truth
Armstrong Economics Blog/Censorship Re-Posted Jan 23, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Facebook fact-checkers have become the new Gestapo by silencing anyone who opposes the Great Reset narrative. The Taliban is permitted to operate on social media. However, that privilege was taken away from a sitting US president (Donald Trump) and others whose voices are deemed too dangerous for society. Ron Paul is the latest voice to be censored. “My speech crime? I shared an interview with the CEO of Pfizer,” Dr. Paul wrote in an email.
Ron Paul is no stranger to media censorship. In September, his YouTube channel was erased from the internet with no explanation other than “severe or repeated violations of our community guidelines.” His son Rand, Fauci’s most vocal foe, questioned, “Facebook now considers advocating for liberty to be sedition. Where will it end?”
The dangerous video that Ron Paul shared was of the CEO of Pfizer admitting that his vaccine does not protect against omicron. On January 10, Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla admitted during an interview with Yahoo Finance: “We know that the two doses of a vaccine offer very limited protection if any.” This was a poor marketing attempt to promote Pfizer’s next vaccine that they plan to release in March.
Here is the video, straight from the horse’s mouth. Glance at the comment section to see the general consensus – we are continuing to build our herd immunity to fear.
