Zucker is laughable..He’s done more to hurt this country with his positions in various newsrooms than all the other Networks combined…He drove the Today show and NBC into the ground and if his owners had a conscience he’d be out already at CNN…So someone please explain…. other than this is more a political award than it is meritorious.Which everyone in the business already knows.

….and Andrea Mitchell..God help us..Her husband was a part of the financial debacle back in 2008 although he feigns ignorance on that ..he was espousing the virtues of the Economy and Housing Market right up until the collapse.She I’m sure has benefitted immensely from his crooked connections because she has no talent other than bashing the right!! Another joke!!
