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."

Zucker threatening Trump... This is like some guy screaming at a stewardess, "DON'T YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT I AM!!???"

Kinda Hilarious. It is going to be fun to watch the next few months, as DC gets turned upside down.

CNN is clearly hoping that someone fires more than a warning shot.

Jeff Zucker can take a flying leap. His Lying Leftist Network will hopefully soon die a quick death.

Zuckie might want to clean up his own staffing messes before he “threatens” anyone

Like fire their asses before turning them over to the Secret Service

Zucker needs to remember there is only one FCC that can revoke his license to broadcast in the United States.

The #FakeStreamMedia is normalizing death threats against President Trump.

They could not be mor biased, what could they do that’s worse next, they already suggested bombing the inauguration to get an Obama guy into the White House.

IMO, no Press credentials for them ever until they show they are reporting and not just an activist arm against all conservatives.

BWAHAHAHA!!!

Like they’re going to what.

Say something nasty about him?

Report more fake news?

I *LOVE* seeing the MSM being put in their places by Trump.

Go ahead and double-down Mr. Zucker. I’d argue that the leader of the free world, a damn strong one at that, will carry more sway than you. He is making you IRRELEVANT.

I would like to say that I’d stop watching CNN because of his comments, but I haven’t been watching CNN for YEARS because of their biased BS.

The appropriate thing for President Trump to do in response to such a threat is to revoke CNN’s credentials to the WH. Minimally, let them occupy the very last row.

“”The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN. “


And THAT is more reason to despise them——he is admitting that CNN “shapes” the news.
