He's going to get millions of dollars to keep his mouth shut about CNN and Zucker's dirty little secrets.

That's for the remainder of corrupt AF Cuomo's contract (18 mil). Cuomo has already exposed the Zucker affair. Not much more to consider. Cuomo also wanted to sue ABC in 2013 (but I don't recall what happened). Cuomo's case would focus on unfair dismissal, which is a different matter. He'd have to prove that CNN violated his contractual agreement, which they know very well they did not to. Let's see who has better lawyers. That's what this will be about. Not really about Zucker.

Oh come on. You really think someone would leave CNN just because he happened to be having a relationship with a co-worker he didn't disclose? That's a pretty lame excuse. Like when a politician says they're stepping down "to spend more time with their family." They had to quit, forced to.

Watch Cuomo get paid to not talk.

OK - groovy - if there's much more dirt on Zucker, I'd LOVE to hear it. May he get what's coming to him. But rather than merely say that there is a lot to reveal, there should at least be a suggestion of what could be revealed. The bad decision to hire Cuomo is already an indicator that he was expected to provide insider information, sentitive government and mafia info to CNN. But the cost of this (corruption with his brother) outweighed the benefits. Zucher naturally has substantial connections to powerful people, which is one of the reasons we won't find out much, and one of the reasons this will likely be settled out of court, as you suggest. I'll bet you Cuomo goes to Fox, that shady bastard.

We'll never know now. Fired CNN anchor Chris Cuomo will reportedly be paid $9 million to stop him from filing a lawsuit against the network. Called it.

Fox won't take him, his ratings suck and he trash talks other networks.

Yep - good call. Congrats.

he trash talks other networks

Seems that qualifies him for Fox
