CNN President Jeff Zucker on Friday said it was a "mistake" to air so many Trump rallies "and let them run" in 2015, giving the candidate an unfettered platform to call Mexicans rapists, support bans on Muslims from entering the US, and overall grow his base, which includes white nationalists.
"If we made any mistake last year, it's that we probably did put on too many of his campaign rallies in those early months and let them run," Zucker said at a talk at the Harvard Kennedy School. "Listen, because you never knew what he would say, there was an attraction to put those on air."

Translation:
We took the wrong approach to deceiving and manipulating the electorate.
Zucker wasn’t crying when the GOP primary debates and Trump rallies were helping CNN beat Fox in the ratings.
Hey Zucker, go Zuck yourself!
Folks...take note...it’s important!!! The Trump political rallies get larger every day. The Clinton/Obama hate Trump media is mocked and degraded with every passing minute. What a stupid, dumb, bunch of bozos!!! You idiots are not convincing the American voters...period!!! Hillary Clinton is a criminal...end of story!!!
Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a paucity of coverage of HRC’s many campaign stump speeches, and the overwhelming crowds enthusiastically supporting her. /s
Well said.
Communists love money. They love it so much that they want it all for themselves.
The communist leaders are almost always from (to use their hateful terminology) upper-middle-class, bourgeois households.
They know nothing of the real struggles of the real (so-called) peasant-class proletariat. It is all nihilistic theory they promulgate.
Marx, like Obama, was a contemptible failure who neither produced nor accomplished anything except destructive propaganda.
Well..... he can just broadcast all the empty Hillary venues, only occupied by a local high school on a field trip....
Or hijacking a concert.
Or a cgi rally.
The old school TV media still haven't figured out they no longer control the news.☺
CNN did it for the ratings and the money.
Are they trying to pretend they did it for free speech?
What a load of double talk.
I well recall that we all thought it hysterical that the MSM had to cover the wild man BECAUSE he was a wild man and that this was getting the message out. IIRC more than one free per opined that theyd realize their mistake too late.

They sure know how to ignore Wikileaks
CNN - Chicken Noodle Network
Their real problem is Clinton won’t hardly campaign for herself and Donald is actually getting out shaking hands, everyday.
Dyck Zucker also said.
We cant understand why our ratings Zuck so bad.
Every restaurant we go into and they are shown Corrupt Noos Network we ask for manager to change the channel.
You should too!
Trump increased ratings, which then affects how much money the network can charge for commercials. The higher the ratings, the higher the revenue.
We do. if they don’t, we go somewhere else never to return.
It was actually part to the democrat plan. They figured that Trump would hang himself and destroy the republican party. Only the media didn’t realize that Trump was just saying what the American people were thinking.
They dont really live off commercials based on ratings.
They are not economically viable in themselves. None of the news media are, their ratings dont justify their continued existence. Its the same with the major newspapers. If they had to live on what advertising and cable fees justified by actual viewership they would have gone out of business years ago.
At this point they live on subsidies from their owners (or advertising really meant as a subsidy) for political purposes.
They are political assets, thats their reason to exist.
They TALK like they mean it about the old obsolete media business, ratings and shares and ad revenue, but behind the facade thats no longer the point.

And Political Correctness
What would Jeff Zucker say to his own face with that caption on it going out on national TV?
"Hate crime?" "Climate of intolerance?"
