Don't mess with CNN. That's the unvarnished version of a message that the network's president, Jeff Zucker, delivered to President-elect Donald Trump in an interview published on Thursday by New York magazine.

"One of the things I think this administration hasn’t figured out yet is that there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus — and that’s CNN," Zucker said. "The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN. Continuing to have an adversarial relationship with that network is a mistake."

Sounds like an illegal act by CNN, Possibly Economic Terrorism against the United States. At minimum its attempted extortion of the President. Probably others.

An excellent reason for CNN, the fake news leader, to be shut out.

Dear Z, when you begin reporting news as it is, not as you want it to be, then we will become bosom buddies.

this Zucker fellow, and all of his kind- their day in the sun is over. There is no love affair in the US for them. They’re only viable future is to hunker down in a panic box, and hope no one hears them.

I doubt that President Trump cares . . . or should. You know what else is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus? Trump’s Twitter feed. If CNN wants to be respected as a professional news organization, they should start acting like one.

Didn’t CNN have to admit that they promised Saddam Heussein good coverage in exchange for their being granted access in Baghdad?

So he admits they “shape” the news and perceptions. They should be just reporting the news.
