Are CNN Staffers Actually Staging a “Revolt” Over Corey Lewandowski?

J.K. Trotter · 06/27/16 12:00PM

On Friday, Page Six reported that CNN staffers were “pissed” and felt “betrayed” after the network’s president, Jeff Zucker, hired Donald Trump’s physically combative former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, as an exclusive contributor to CNN programming.

The New York Times just torched Times reporter Brian Stelter's new book Top of the Morning, calling it "overblown" and "silly" and comparing it unfavorably with the work of Stelter's partner on the TV beat, Bill Carter. The upside? "Mr. Stelter is just 27, so there’s ample time really to get the hang of this."

Those of you who caught the news (revealed, no doubt coincidentally, in two different articles published on the same day) that New York Times media wunderkind Brian Stelter and NY1 traffic reporter Jamie Shupak are dating — and have been for five months, apparently — may be wondering what we wondered this morning when we heard: What is Brian Stelter's romance secret?

Everyone's Ditching Their iPad

Ryan Tate · 04/14/10 06:35PM
