Shortly before dusk on the east coast, on Tuesday evening, journalists began chattering about a New York Times piece that was soon to drop and perhaps gesture toward the next front in the Jeff Zucker-CNN-Jason Kilar imbroglio. And then there it was—a quintuple-bylined investigation that laid out the now-familiar timeline of events and added one critical new dimension to the story: in the heat of the #MeToo uprising, Chris Cuomo had used the CNN platform to try to placate a would-be accuser. His journalistic malpractice contributed to Zucker’s decision to fire him and helped set into motion the series of events that would ultimately lead to the ouster of both Zucker and his top aide and romantic partner, Allison Gollust.
