CNN staff revolts over Corey Lewandowski hire
Read the story here^^^^^
Sources told Page Six on Friday that CNN’s “facing a near internal revolt” over Jeff Zucker’s hiring of Lewandowski as an exclusive commentator for the news network days after he was fired as Donald Trump’s campaign manager.“CNN is facing a near internal revolt over the Corey hiring,” said a TV insider, who described many in the newsroom as “livid.” “Female reporters and producers especially . . . They are organizing and considering publicly demanding” that Lewandowski be let go.
A source previously told Page Six that Lewandowski’s getting as much as $500,000 for the new gig, but a CNN spokesperson told us on Thursday, “I can assure you we are paying him nowhere near $500,000.”

Other than being Trump's fired campaign manager, Corey has no real "street cred" for the job. He is just a sideshow for now IMHO. I believe he will be gone within 6 months and in about two years no one will even remember his name.

This might be a good training ground for Corey, before he goes to work for Trump TV in January
