Who had this on their 2022 BINGO Card?

BREAKING: MAJOR SHAKE-UP AT CNN:

Brian Flood: Jeff Zucker out at CNN after failing to disclose ‘consensual relationship’ with colleague: ‘I was wrong’: ‘I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t,’ Zucker said of the ‘consensual relationship’ in his memo

Embattled CNN boss Jeff Zucker walked away from the liberal network on Wednesday after failing to disclose a “consensual relationship” with a CNN staffer.

“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. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today,” Zucker wrote in a memo to staffers shared by CNN’s Brian Stelter…

Gollust was appointed as former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s communications director in 2012 before bolting to join Zucker four months later at CNN. She became close to Zucker after a 15-year tenure at NBC before her work in the Cuomo administration and was once even floated as a candidate to eventually replace Zucker atop the liberal network…

Tweet of the day right ^^there^^, Dave.

I guess we shall see.

Michael Kaplan: Olympian Eileen Gu ruffles US skiers with decision to compete for China

She could be America’s next Olympic darling — a stunning 18-year-old skier who signed with Victoria’s Secret and plans to attend Stanford after she vies for gold in Beijing.

But Eileen Gu won’t be competing for the US.

Instead, in a move that’s baffled members of the American skiing community, San Francisco-born and -bred Gu has joined Team China…

Others in the sport are questioning why Gu, an ultra-athletic freeskier and favorite to claim as many as three gold medals when the games begin Friday, would side with the host nation, which is accused of abusing human rights and engaging in unfair trade policies…

“It is not my place to judge, but Eileen is from California, not from China, and her decision [to ski for China] seems opportunistic,” said Jen Hudak, a former Winter X Games gold medalist for the USA women’s team.

“She became the athlete she is because she grew up in the United States, where she had access to premier training grounds and coaching that, as a female, she might not have had in China,” Hudak told The Post. “I think she would be a different skier if she grew up in China.

“This makes me sad,” added Hudak, who retired in 2014 after knee injuries derailed her career and has since co-founded Escapod Trailers. “It would be nice to see the medals going to America.”

Gu, a US citizen, made her decision with input from her Chinese mother, Yan, an outspoken “Tiger Mom,” and an American father who keeps a low profile, said one of her former coaches….

Where the U.S. #WOKE-based Curriculum Ranks with the Rest of the World:

When the #WOKE Age of “Canceled” Crocodile Ends Up Biting Its Feeders:

J. Kim Murphy: Whoopi Goldberg Suspended From ‘The View’ for Holocaust Remarks … FTR, I don’t think Whoopi should be fired for her asinine take on race and her really gawd-awful history. This is nothing but a mid-winter two week paid vacation for the co-hen in ‘The View’ hen house. On that note, leave Joe Rogan (and I am not even a listener of fan of the guy). I am indeed, however, against the bullshit silencing, and deeming dangerous, of one side of today’s politics, issues, and arguments.

Outkick: CLAY TRAVIS: ‘THE VIEW MIGHT BE THE DUMBEST SHOW ON TELEVISION’ … As is their right to be, and nobody exercises that right quite like the clicking hens of ‘The View’. Every one of those leftist dingbats at that table has continually spewed lies and bullshit in the too long years of the show. Anybody remember Rosie O’Donnel and her “fire doesn’t melt steel” inane crap? And what Whoopi was trying to do, and not so much what she said, was to try to drag down another group’s history of persecution and oppression, and genocide, in order to push her ‘systemic racism’ bullshit, ‘Oh, it was not about ‘race’-race because they Nazis and Jews were both whites…’

Eve Barlow: Whoopi Goldberg’s Ignorance About The Holocaust Is What Happens When Intersectionality Rots People’s Brains: The Holocaust was not, as Goldberg put it, about ‘man’s inhumanity to man.’ It was about man’s genocide of Jews. … Note to Whoopi and her ilk: ALL violent crime, racism, genocide, infanticide, etc. is “man’s inhumanity to man” (which, by your #WOKE ideology standards is an old quote using unacceptable “patriarchal gender specific terms”.

Sure, Mika. Sure.

The rumor is Whoopi is pissed-off for the ‘suspension’. But the facts remain that had a conservative talker said the exact same idiocy that she spewed, and then went on late night TV to spew worse that night, ‘The View’ harpies, with her in the lead, would be screaming for their firing.

Brandon Gillespie: ‘The View’ criticizes Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch instead of addressing Whoopi Goldberg suspension: Joy Behar noted Goldberg’s absence before turning to Neil Gorsuch

J.J. Sefton’s classic spot-on take on this over @ AoSHQ:

That said, I’m all for self-cancelation-immolation…

The Hill: Mary Trump pulling podcast from Spotify

Love Glenn’s sarcasm.

And this, my fellow American Spectators, is pretty much unconstitutional and the Biden administration’s cowardly and criminal attempt to coerce private companies to do their dirty work of censorship…

VIDEO: Jen Psaki responds to Joe Rogan Spotify controversy, urges tech companies to fight ‘misinformation’

OH!!! And old Joe is getting his war:

Mike Brest: Biden deploying 3,000 troops to fortify Europe amid Russia-Ukraine standoff

Meanwhile…

Reuters: U.S. Army: Soldiers who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine will be immediately discharged

Meanwhile…

Stephen Green: UNEXPECTEDLY: US Lost 301,000 Jobs in January vs Predicted 200,000 Gained … So, why? Why did this happen, Peppermint Psaki?

Harris Rigby: Psaki Blames People Calling Out Sick With Omicron To Hedge Against Apparent Negative Jobs Report For January

Matt Vespa: She Said What? Jen Psaki Could Be Bracing Us for an Abysmal Jobs Report … So, now if you’re out sick from work you are ‘unemployed’, according to the mega-brain-trust in the White House. And so, those 9M out sick were counted as ‘unemployed’?

Matt Margolis: HUGE: Durham Investigation of Obamagate Expands

Matthew Vadum: Pharmacists Ingest Woke Poison: Their new oath embraces the woke racism of “anti-racism” and “health equity.”

A Belated Remembrance on Andrew Breitbart’s ‘would have been’ his 53rd birthday…

Damn, how we miss you, Andrew, and would love to be hearing what you would have to say these past ten years of all this crap.
