That's what happens when the president of your news organization acts like Captain Ahab in desperate search of the Trump-Russia White Whale. It ends up sinking your own ship. The ship in this case is CNN.

Jeff Cuck-Zucker will be gone soon. If not, the stockholder’s have a case for corporate malfeasance.

Whether or not Trump builds the wall, or keeps his other promises, I think that after the Trump presidency is over, I will remember him fondly for destroying CNN.

Definition of insanity: Keeping doing the same thing over and over and hope for different results next time.

I expect CNN to continue it’s mission of attacking Trump and trying to destroy his presidency. Hasn’t worked so far, but they are crazy enough to keep trying.

this explains why CNN has become so shrill.

They are desperate for “look at me” stories.

next thing CNN will be screaming “ALIENS!!!”

Once again, Trump is playing the long game, even while his critics are distracted by every squirrel he points to.

Trump was against the AT&T acquisition of Time Warner but spoke highly of AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson after their private meeting. CNN is a small part of TWX but a visible one, and AT&T wants this deal very badly to increase their content creation business (Turner Networks and HBO, as well as Warner Brothers). Trump knows the deal will happen, so he’s building a strong relationship at the top with the people who really matter, so that little gnats like Jeff Zuzker will be flicked aside after the merger and hopefully AT&T will see the potential for running CNN and other networks more profitably than can be done when you alienate 1/2 or more of your potential audience right from the get-go.

CNN has the potential to become what FNC was at it’s best. It would take a top-to-bottom housecleaning and probably a couple of years, but it would bee worth it, given that FNC is committing corporate suicide and there’s no reason to think that will change anytime soon. IF CNN were to re-invent itself as the “fair and balanced” cable news network it could be 2X what it is today and bigger than FNC.

This week some of us have mentioned that CNN will lose viewer because of their 24/7 Fake News about President Trump.

When that happens, they will lose advertisers.

Losing advertisers is not part of AT&T’s game plan of buying out TimeWarner, which CN&N was a factor in the buyout.

AT&T could demand the firing of Zucker and his rabid Hate Trump followers as part of their buyout of Time Warner.

Ratings don’t matter all these channels have to do is serve as a platform for famous people to make statements that are picked up and passed around by the rest, and to pass around the muck the others are stirring up.

Subtract out all the TV monitors at airports and it’ll be even lower than that; it’s forced viewership.

Obama was a wuss who CNN ... handled with kid gloves because they feared being called a racist if they told the truth about him. - - Don Surber

Journalist's thin-skinned hatred of President Trump will be their downfall - it's almost as toxic as their fawning butt-kissing of President Obama...

There's reason 'old school' journalist standards from the past existed... it's time for a 'style book for ideological coverage'...

This Morning Joe/Trump fracas may, mostly, be a ploy to drive down CNN’s competing show’s ratings.
CNN deserves every viewer it doesn’t get.

The Russians came, they saw, they left the Criminal News Network in shambles.

Why the did the Russians go after CNN, because they are an easy target, the Russians know Trump is too dangerous to mess with they don’t want to get on his bad side.
