CNN employees believe that director Adam Levine got a rough deal when he was stripped of responsibilities on Friday, only two months after taking one “for the team” during a controversial slander test.
Levine, who was Senior Vice President of CNN Was Van Washington Newsgathering and is now SVP Investigative and Washington News, served as CNN’s Corporate Representative in January during the two weeks of the network that the Network saw compensation after a jury was discovered that it was bothering the US Naval Veteranean. Levine was the only CNN employee who was in the courtroom of Panama City, Florida for the entire process, which was seen as a wild uncomfortable situation for the since-related manager.
“He always takes one for the team … Now this,” the current employee said Fox News Digital.
“Adam is one of the smartest editorial leaders and hardest employees at CNN. He has been a real leader in some tumultuous times in recent years,” they added.
Jury believes that CNN Lader has committed against naval veteran, arranging of punitive compensation
CNN announced changes in his police unit on Friday. The changes, which were first reported by status and confirmed by FOX News Digital, include Levine that loses supervision of the majority of Washington’s political coverage to supervise only two smaller units.
The employee, who said “many of us” within the DC agency, the feeling that Levine earns better, added that there is no hostility in the direction of new SVP editorial strategy and news Phil Rucker, who will assume many of Levine’s responsibilities after the Washington Post CNN earlier this year. The CNN employees simply feel that Levine is being treated unfairly.
“We have seen him so many sacrifices for the well -being of CNN,” said the employee, adding that Levine is “brilliant” and “deserves a lot of respect.”
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The CNN CNN CNN’s resilient process of six people saw a jury of six people and was responsible for punitive compensation after successfully claimed that the network had smeared him by implying that he was illegally benefited in helping people of Afghanistan on the “black market” during the Biden Administrations Military withdrawal from the country in 2021.
While the jury was preparing to determine punitive compensation, the 14th judge of the court Circuit William S. Henry announced that Young and CNN had reached a settlement for the amount that would be granted to the Naval Eveteraan.
The settlement amount was not announced. The announcement of the settlement came after a witness of experts suggested that $ 150 million was a considerable amount to punish CNN. During the explosive test, Levine witnessed The fact that an on-air apology offered to Young was only issued for legal purposes.
“We found to solve the legal discussion, a correction was owed, or at least our legal department felt so, I should say,” said Levine.
Levine acknowledged that the apology was made in the hope that the network would destroy the “potential for a lawsuit” by Young, but spent a few minutes avoiding questions or CNN thought that Young’s concern “was reasonable” to issue the apology.
“This was a decision for legal reasons and the correction was issued at the instructions of our legal department,” said Levine. “So CNN thinks that the decision of the legal department was the right one for the company based on the fact that they are our legal department.”
Young himself believes that Levine probably “better expected” from CNN after he is placed in such a difficult place.
“I imagine that he probably feels small, given the amount of fire he took for CNN during my process,” Young told Fox News Digital.
“He had to sit there on the witness bank, opposite the jury and witnesses under oath that CNN did nothing wrong, and as their business representative he is behind their story and behavior. He was also put in the impossible position to attract the apologies from CNN and to admit that it was only a legal maneuver to try to limit damage,”. ” “My impression was that Levine was simply the incredible story of CNN during my process, and he probably expected a better treatment for his loyalty, although his efforts to mitigate failed miserably failed.”
