CNN chief: Politicians should oppose Trump's attack on media Associated Press 2 hours 24 minutes ago Comments Like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email
JERUSALEM (AP) — The president of CNN said Tuesday it was "shocking" to watch the political establishment's silence over President Donald Trump's attacks on the media, calling it an abdication of their responsibility.
Speaking at a media conference in Jerusalem, Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide, said Trump's labeling of the media as the enemy of the state was unfortunate and dangerous. He refused to say whether any CNN staff had been threatened and what kind of security measures the company had taken, but warned that "words can have consequences."
Zucker also said he was stunned politicians had not spoken out fiercely against Trump's assault on the free press. He singled out Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham as among the few who have had the courage to stand up for their convictions.
Since taking office, Trump has lashed out repeatedly at the media, taking particular aim at CNN. He's upbraided its reporters publicly, deriding the network as "fake news," and his press secretary blocked CNN from taking part in a White House media gaggle.

Shock this. What a loser.
CNN’s “journalist SHOULD commit mass suicide.
“CNN chief: Politicians should oppose Trump’s attack on {FAKE} media”
Ace McCain, Lind Graham, Paul Ryan, * Bush: “Yes, SIR!”
So this imbecile is asking other people to fight for them? TOTAL loser.
Do you smell the whiff of desperation coming from CNN?
Hmmm..,
The Fake Media extort, threaten, and victimize politicians for decades.
Then, as the power of the Fake Media is degraded to the point that a fearless politician can take them on, and win...
The Fake Media plead for help from the very politicians they have abused for decades...
Maybe they should stop being the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
Maybe he doesn’t want Trump to approve ATT purchase of TimeWarner.
He goes overseas to criticize the POTUS. He should be condemned for that alone.
THIS
Break up the media monopolies
Zucker would have a point if the media were actually small to medium-sized independent outfits with reporters of diverse opinions. They are not.
sounds like the chief needs a safe space, a diaper pin and a comfort cupcake
Actually since fake media like CNN are the common enemy of all, they should join him.
I thought Trump said “ ...enemy of the people”. Why would he sau enemy of the state?
Is this the same CNN who did a video through a curtained window and made up a script of what the people in the WH were saying?
His last name should start with an “F”, instead of a “Z!” Because that’s what he’s doing to our country in search of his Capo roots and a bunch of money!
Conflating free speech with the MSM propaganda machine. Not buying it. Metaphorically speaking they should have their a$$es kicked 24 hours a day.
If the cnn lunatics didn’t force their crappy so-called “news” into airports, nobody would watch their leftist lies and spew. This clown is a pathetic life-loser.
