CNN is viewing its antagonism toward President Donald J. Trump as a badge of honor and according to CNN president Jeff Zucker the networks daily aggression aimed at Trump is boosting employee morale.
President Trump renewed his assault on the veracity of the fake media by jousting with CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta at a Thursday press conference. During the back and forth, Trump joked that he was downgrading CNN from merely fake news, to very fake news. He also poked at the network over its ratings.
Only five months ago, CNNs ratings were so bad that it slipped into third place even behind little-watched MSNBC. And just this week Medialife Magazine reported that Fox News took all the top spots in the most viewed cable news programs. The magazine also reported that Fox and MSNBC came in first and second respectively, with CNN showing in at third place.
Despite the slide in ratings and Trumps characterization of the network as fake news, CNN President Jeff Zucker seems proud of his status.
They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs, Zucker said of his employees, according to Politico. I would say that morale is incredibly high
They are not being intimidated, they are not backing down, they know they have my full support and it is a very exciting time, frankly, to be a journalist at CNN.

They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs, Zucker said...”
So he means also that they weren’t doing their jobs for the last 8 years.....
hahahaha
Very good!
Yeah boy! The more they praise one another the more bold and reckless they will become in their behavior! It is one big echo chamber.
Trump needs to continue to attack CNN and provoke them to utter recklessness in their behavior and destroy them for good.
Fixed it.
