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."

“The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN”
Zucker has no idea that he has just explained why most people hate and distrust the media.
Shape?
What is CNN, a PR firm?
CNN = Crap Not News
OH Noos! Is he going to sic Megyn Kelly on the president?
Twitter is seen worldwide...Just sayin’.
Also Fox (Sky News) is seen around the world.
Trump’s already getting good coverage on Russian TV.
I don't know where that one went, but I hope it didn't hit the pool hall.
For the left, yes.
So CNN is essentially saying mr. Trump if you want to look good to the world you better play ball with us
I fixed it. These people have a view of themselves and their power that is pure fantasy.
...Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus...
I would imagine the people in power in these nations get a daily briefing on Trump’s tweets.
CNN is losing influence fast
“Trump can work to help break CNN’s monopoly on foreign coverage broadcasting... that should be a priority of his.”
CNN and CIA are joined at the hip, to gather Intel and disseminate propaganda. Just one more reason CIA needs a MAJOR house cleaning.
See tag line...
I think Zucker was telling Trump CNN is a Muslim Network.
Trump already knows that. And so do we.
This guy is a buffoon..NO ONE WATCHES CNN..CNN is a garbage network, they haven’t been credible in 20+ years no one gives a crap what they have to say..everyone knows what they stand for and its NEVER been the truth
Re: “The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN.”
Completely true.
I recently had a slightly heated political conversation with a Microsoft software engineer (a lifelong UK citizen based in Europe).
I pointed out that everything he knew about the American political system had been filtered through CNN, the BBC, Reuters, and the Associated Press.
I tried to explain (unsuccessfully) that American Conservatives have their own media, and that we watch/read his news sources only for breaking news and to discover the new themes the political Left is using to attack Conservatives.
Good use of imagery.
Thanks
Who cares what the people in Beijing see in their offices? Trump won’t be talking to them. He will have 1-1 meetings with the leaders of the countries whose opinions won’t be formed by CNN
CCN, a wholly owned and operated propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. I’d say they and other such organization who operate behind the mask of being a legitimate News org are and should remain in the sites of whom ever to include President Trump, chooses to expose their true purpose of existence.
NOBODY FREAKING CARES!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
cnn is hoist on his own petard... the world will see how irrelevant cnn can be.
or is.
hehehe
