CNN In Hot Water After New Hire Corey Lewandowski Turns Up At Trump NH Rally

[spanone]

Since Lewandowski won’t reveal what is in his Non-Disclosure Agreement but other Trump employees have said it includes a non-disparagement clause, the political world was shocked by CNN’s decision to hire the recently “let go” Trump campaign manager.
So journalists began wondering if CNN’s President Jeff Zucker was covering part of Trump’s payroll:

This is no small thing. Since CNN hired Lewandowski, it has looked to me like a product placement move meeting the revolving door concept of big corporations paying employees a golden parachute to “leave” and go work in the public sector doing “oversight” of the same company they just left (yes, this is legal and it’s why oversight isn’t reliable).

I never bought that Corey Lewandowski was really “fired”. That wouldn’t benefit Trump or the people who love to take their own wrong-doing and turn it into a source of pride (a certain segment of the right wing is big on this, see George Zimmerman fans) while claiming victimization. If they cared about his troubling behavior, he would have been fired long before they claimed he was.

But what would benefit the man who treats the concept of the free press as something he most assuredly does not like is a media plant. Someone who can spin “legitimate” positive stories about Trump in the mainstream media.
