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.

Won't be watching CNN.
Don't care what CNN covers.
In other words, the news isn’t the issue at CNN.
That is about as close as you can come to an admission CNN is a political organization and not a news organization. Where is the IRS for in kind contributions?
I agree. They are not self sustainable.
“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.”
What he means is...If it's not on "The View" then it's not worthy of CNN.
Same viewers, see what I mean.
Too bad someone didn’t ask Zucker if he was reading from a White House talking point memo faxed over to him or that is the decision of the fawning left wing media stooges.
Jeff, it’s pretty obvious that you guys are incapable of shame, or you wouldn’t be calling yourselves a news network.
I can see his point. Benghazi coverage would rob precious time from the continuously breaking MH370 drama....
They will lie, cheat and steal to protect the man they elected.
