Fake news outlet CNN’s top executive, Jeff Zucker, is threatening the incoming president of the United States Donald J. Trump.
“It’s just unfortunate that the most powerful person in the world is trying to delegitimize journalism and an organization that plays such a vital role in our democracy,” Zucker, CNN’s president, said in an interview with New York Magazine’s Gabriel Sherman, when asked about how Trump denounced CNN as “fake news” at his press conference last week in New York City. “I think he’s entitled to his opinion, but it’s — to use one of his favorite words — sad.”
Later in the interview, when asked by Sherman about how Trump shut down CNN’s Jim Acosta telling him his network was “fake news” and instead took questions from real news outlets like Breitbart News Network and Fox News, Zucker specifically threatened Trump in a veiled way that CNN will work to hurt the incoming president’s reputation on the world stage.
“Acosta didn’t get to ask a question at last week’s press conference. The first question went to Fox News, and Breitbart got to ask a question. Are you concerned about getting access to Trump?” Sherman asked Zucker.
In his response, Zucker specifically noted that Trump’s “adversarial relationship” with a network seen in foreign capitals is “a mistake.”

President Trump is just saying what anyone with a bit of sense already knows. Fox =fake news. No longer tune in. All credibility gone. I want the facts reported so that I can draw my own conclusion, not press spin.
CNN cannot take the facts. They did nothing positive towards Trump during the elections but criticize. They made Hillary look like a Roman Goddess. Now they are paying the consequence and cannot handle the results of their ignorant mistakes. Let them cry cry cry.
CNN - the GE mouthpiece, they had access to Saddam Hussein....just sayin'
Nobody wastes their time watching CNN. Nothing to gain.
CNN should be removed from the airports.
