May that's the point.................
If the CNN cycle goes on too long, that's not so good, because Trump needs the Fake News as a useful punching bag to keep Deplorables fired up.
So Trump gives CNN a break. Something tells me Zucker just chuckled. But thanks to O'Keefe, the intelligent ones on the Left get confirmation that CNN is a lying con artist trying to maintain their ratings.
Nobody is going to take down CNN completely because there's a big audience of Trump haters out there. CNN is therapy for those afflicted with TDS.
Watching CNN is akin to taking Trumpazine.
