CNN president: Network's 'credibility is higher than ever' (LOL alert)
The Hill ^ | January 18, 2017 | Joe Concha

Posted on 01/19/2017 8:09:04 AM PST by Zakeet

CNN President Jeff Zucker says President-elect Donald Trump's attacks on his network are an attempt to "delegitimize journalism," adding that CNN's "credibility is higher than ever."

"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 told New York Magazine in an interview Wednesday.

"I think he's entitled to his opinion, but it's - to use one of his favorite words - sad."

The feeble attempts at gaslighting by the left became comical a while ago. But the joke is getting old.

They still appear to make a profit (small I do agree). Part of that is the overseas part of the network.

What’s with this illegitimacy talk recently?

People such as John Lewis say Trump is not legitimate president. This CNN dude claims that Trump and conservatives want to say that CNN is not a legitimate news organization.

What’s with the liberals using the term “illegitimate”????

Is that a new talking point???

I noted that in the John Lewis controversy, numerous news reader types called him a civil rights “icon”. I assume that the word “icon”, which is seldom used in everyday conversation, was agreed upon as the preferred description of John Lewis. Agreed upon by Journolist types and other liberal news people.

Laughable

I no longer watch even during Islamic terror or airplane crash “Breaking News”

Can’t stand the bias and personalities. CNN makes no attempt to put likeable, smart, unbiased, competent “journOlists” on

#FakeNewsAllTheTime

He was misquoted. What he said was, “CNN staff and editors higher than ever.”

More fake news and lies from CNN!

How low can CNN sink before advertisers say, “We will not buy any ads from CNN?”

CNN = CIA cutout. I vote Dana Bash as full fledged employee. Look at the resume of her former husband, Jeremy.
