The president of the Clinton News Network is worried about the future of journalism.
Gosh almighty, what will we do?
Apparently, CNN’s president, Jeff Zucker, is worried about the future of (his) press.
New York Times reporter Liam Stack posted a tweet this week that claimed that Zucker said that “Journalism is threatened by senior officials in our own government” at the Overseas Press Club of America awards gala Thursday night.

The jab, seemingly at President Donald Trump, is almost laughable coming from the left-leaning news station. And even if Zucker didn’t mean to, he revealed the real truth surround the American media and the Trump White House.
CNN doesn’t have much love for Trump or, well, pretty much anything conservative. So its executives resort to whining.
They’re “in danger” because they’re no longer living high on the hog under former President Barack Obama. (“Under” being the operative word for an ostensibly free media that disgraced itself sucking up to the powers of Washington for the eight years Obama was in office.)
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
And it is exactly what happens when the mainstream media does not get its way.
They are under the impression that they are journalism, and if they’re not getting their way, journalism is in peril. Well, guess what?
Your constant spray of “very fake news” isn’t landing like it once was because you’ve lost a massive portion of your credibility, Jeff.
No one cares about what you think, and fewer and fewer care about what you do.
Straighten up your insane reporting, or get out of the game — the American people are seeing the scales falling from their own eyes, and they’re not happy with what they’re seeing at CNN.
Journalism?
These people are not practicing journalism.
#FAKENEWS
They are creating lies and deceptions, and they know it. They are the Opposition Party.
It is going to be this way for 8 years.
8 years of constant, non-stop Obstructionism and #FAKENEWS
The Opposition Party will continue their lies, distortions, and obstructionism. It is what they do. Make it as difficult on their enemy as possible.
They are at war with conservatives. If you are not a leftist and one of them, then you are their enemy.
One of the tactics of war is deception, deceiving, and lying. The Opposition Party lies because it is one of the war tools. Get used to it. And come to realize that we are at war. They know they are at war. So we better act like it also.
Watch Spicer at the WH Press briefings. He knows he is at war. That is why he treats them with such disdain and ridicule. He really needs to close up the open WH Press briefings. Invite only. Don’t let the enemy - the Opposition Party inside. The Opposition Party can then learn what is going on from their fake anonymous sources and Trump tweets - good luck with that.
What would CNN know about Journalism?
Journalism is threatened
by CNN, writing the news before reporters are sent for show, crushing smaller
media
How could some purported threat to journalism possibly be of any concern whatsoever to anyone at CNN?
CNN’s version of journalism, is a bunch of leftists sticking to the party agenda.
That is it.
They do not want reporting. They want them to stick to a leftist agenda.
I believe that leftist agenda, is what the media guy is talking about.
I sure hope that is under threat.
America has been victimized by it, for decades now.
Look at the biased agenda of the mainstream media journalists.
Look at the white house correspondent's dinner and the slanderous comments originating there.
Journalism is creating it's own demise.
It is going to be this way for 8 years.

Don’t discount the possibility of PENCE 2024.
Could happen.
That is exactly what I was going to say. GMTA.
Donna Brazile.
Crybabies....that’s all they are.
They’re not used to being punched back in the face and they don’t like it. But they better get used to it because their jug-eared muslim usurper boy is long gone and there is a new sheriff in town..
Media bias is not a recent phenomenon. Way back when I was a college freshman my political science prof had us read the book “Gods of Antenna” It opened my eyes to media bias an the shaping of news way back in 1977.
Bullshit.
So called “journalists” have been threatening the status of journalism, increasingly decade by decade, for at least fifty years.
After turning major media “journalism” into the handmaiden of the Democratic Party, by the time of the administration of Bill Clinton it became the virtual media arm of any Democrat in the White House.
When viewed by the public dispassionately it has been as if the major media venues should be charged with “electioneering” 24/7 and with a good percentage of their revenues considered “in kind” contributions to Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and Marxists.
When journalism lacks nearly all real political independence, then it is judged by the standard it has created for itself, politics, and cannot be trusted to be judged any other way. Who did that? Who set that course? Donald Trump? No. The journalists did it themselves.
CNN and all of the MSM are the propaganda arm of the DNC and Democrat Party in America.
I guess these so-called “journalists” define their “profession” as being liars, omitters and distorters. They are pathetic.
What would CNN know about “journalism”, pray tell?
And guess what, Jeffy, it isn’t “your” government.
.... Why would "Journalism" be threatened? Heck .... As long a a Journalist is reporting "Facts" there should not be any problem at all! But since the MSM has sunk to the lowest levels of Contrarian Tabloid Journalism to keep their audience happy .... They are now feeling threatened. And for the first time they are dealing with a President that doesn't just sit silently while lies and conspiracy theories are being spun about him ....
.... Yup ... This guy actually fights back .... and these rag spinners are suddenly being held accountable for their lies and enemy propaganda. And they are left without the ability to believably defend their positions. Of course ..... there should be no "Positions" held by a real Journalist ..... Just the Truth which is supported by the facts which is all they should actually be reporting .... Not fabricated fables to appease their audience of Useful Idiots!!
Zucker needs to bib up.. (Insert crying baby pic here)
journalism
What a hoot. They actually think it still exists.
