Speaking to CNBC Friday morning in separate interviews, John Stankey and David Zaslav push back on claims of John Malone's involvement.
Zaslav noted that because his company did not yet control WarnerMedia, there was little he could say about the matter.
However, both Stankey and Zaslav were pressed on reporting from multiple outlets that said Discovery board member John Malone — who has been critical of Zucker’s programming strategy at CNN — pressed the company to take action.“I am not going to speculate on your theory,” Stankey said. “I have always had a practice of not commenting on personnel decisions, and I’m not going to do that here.”
