I could def be wrong, but it might have to do with Zaslav's 'vision' to move focus towards 'unscripted programming', as in reality tv, true crime and live sports, less on scripted programming. My guess* is the car that's laying about is reality tv and regular people. He's not really helping create new shows, great storytelling, rather just using regular people to draw in viewers and rake in profits. I imagine the cost of unscripted programming is much less than truly scripted programming.
