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."

It’d be great if Trump just kicked CNN out of the press pool. Press conferences, etc.

CNN has always been left of center. It has moved even further left since Hollywood Zucker became its president. I always laugh when they have a horde of diversity commentators at the horseshoe desk: blacks, gays, latinos, lefty women. The only color of the rainbow missing is white straight christian males.It is not so much news as it is cute non substantive stylistic little story lines they concoct.

Who cares, nobody watches your liberal network, besides Pravda probably gives Trump better and more honest coverage.

...Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus....

Hey Zucker, why don't you just pick one of those and move your entire communist operation there?

It’s long, long past time for a horse’s head in Mr. Zucker’s bed. And in a few other Owner’s, Chairmen’s and CEO’s beds, too: AP, LAT, NYT, WP; ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR; Google, Yahoo...

What’s Jeff Zucker’s network threatening to do? Call Trump nasty names? Isn’t that what they already do there?

Zucker should consider that Trump picked this fight, so he clearly has a strategy and an end-game in mind.

So any time either side doesn’t like what is said it’s going to be labeled “fake news” from now on. Everybody knows what was originally meant by fake news, those internet stories you’re crazy aunt emails you that are completely made up and unverified.

And we’re OK with the president no matter who it is having 0 accountability with any kind of press? No checks and balances? I don’t know, what happens when it eventually flips back the other way.

Trump’s already getting good coverage on Russian TV.

First interview after inauguration with Fox. Second with RT. The Matrix would collapse.

"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.

Zucker makes a very revealing threat.

Zucker reminds us that CNN does business with China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria and all the rest of of those corrupt tyrannical foreign governments.

Now image the conflicts of interest CNN has with the US and with the simple truth, as it tries to do business with those governments. And now see why CNN has such an anti American bias.

CNN is the anti American, Propaganda Network.

I’m thinking that Donald Trump does not need CNN to present his presidency overseas or any where, for that matter. They really are a fake news network.

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."

And Zucker makes another revealing threat.

Apparently his so-called "news network" has two standards for reporting. With people CNN has a good relationship, they report one way. With people they have an "adversarial" relationship, they report a different way.

And they are willing to do that to an American president, all around the tyrannical globe.

Zucker is a dumbass for being so transparent.
