CNN President: We Won’t Be ‘Shamed’ Into Covering Benghazi
The Blaze ^ | May. 20, 2014 | Zach Noble

Climate change and the missing Malaysian flight are important to CNN. The Obama administration’s continued evasion of serious investigation into the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, not so much.

At least that’s what Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide, told a New York Times reporter at the Deadline Club’s annual awards dinner Monday night.

“We’re not going to be shamed into [Benghazi coverage] by others who have political beliefs that want to try to have temper tantrums to shame other news organizations into covering something,” Zucker said. “If it’s of real news value, we’ll cover it.”

CNN would know what good news is. This communists controlled liberal network lost all creditability as a real new organization.

It’s possible their viewership is just down to 0bots. The lame stream media, dem party, gov’t has been telling the 0bots so many lies that if they were to report any of the truth, could make for quite a comical unravelling of the left and the LSM. I’m just speculating, but it could be with all the lies told, they have painted themselves in to a corner, and can’t afford to back away from them.

well thank goodness they’ll stop at nothing to avoid reporting on the assignation of our ambassador and the SEALs trying to defend American soil while any and all assistance was deliberately withheld over a SEVEN HOUR PERIOD

FOX has the largest ratings because people want to see/hear what’s going on in the world—all of it, not just what makes BO look good. So if you want the news, just watch FOX.

Airports and hotels across the Country and their share of viewership is very low. Go figure!

Do you remember when Fox News first started up? Ted said they will 'lose their ass'. Delusional people seem to have a lot of money.

“If it’s of real news value, we’ll cover it.”

Coming from the same people who ran a story on a theory they made up that Malaysian flight 370 was sucked up into a black hole...

Everybody knows liberals don’t feel shame. Or regret, humility, embarrassment (oh, hell no!), etc.
