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 hasnt figured out yet is that theres only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus and thats 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."

Jeff Zucker’s CNN is little more than a liberal lying rag.
Must be tough watching your network shrink pal.
I guess you could say the reporterettes can get their story straight.
Wonder if the bus driver could confirm the event?
Between the msm and the dnc, it is oftentimes difficult to tell which is playing the part of the tail and which is playing the dog.
Oh, big deal!
Wow! They are really out in the open with their hostility. Sounds like political extortion to me. Be nice to us or we ruin your reputation.
Bingo!
CNN’s vile. This is a new low.
They should restrict themselves to cheating on debates...
You mean right side up...
This CNN guy is a total jerk. Trump can shut down CNN with one phone call the the FCC. Yeah, there will be legal disputes, but Trump’s guys can make life difficult for CNN.
Weird. I never found any stories about him shooting at Obama. I guess he was afraid somebody would call him a “rasis”. CNN - Your #fakenews headquarters.
Ridiculously easy solution: don’t turn CNN on. Starve them out. Then let’s see how Mr. Zucker cries. What he did is unprecedented, even possibly treasonous. This little self-important putz needs to be taken down.
The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN.
Which is exactly why Trump calls them FAKE and will likely use alternate methods to communicate with with “capitals around the world” like picking up the phone and calling them, tele conference etc.
stupid self important clown Zucker is.
Delusional.
And yet, a full on violation of professional ethics.
An overt admission that they knowingly act in a pre-determined biased manner and use their network for political or personal propaganda.
He done hoisted himself on his own petard.
Warning shot my butt. Stick it Z man
“You little weasel!”
“Zucker needs to remember there is only one FCC that can revoke his license to broadcast in the United States.”
You need an FCC license for over the air stations. All CNN does is provide programming to cable companies. I doubt the FCC has any jurisdiction.
