CNN chief Jeff Zucker blamed President Donald Trump for endangering reporters in the legacy media.
According to an Associated Press report, Zucker said “the level of threats faced by his journalists is more serious than people realize,” and “he lays the blame squarely at the feet of” Trump and “other politicians he says try to delegitimize the press.”
Zucker reportedly spoke about the anti-CNN chants at Trump’s rallies and a Guardian reporter being body-slammed by then-Republican Montana House candidate Greg Gianforte, who won his race a day after body-slamming the left-wing reporter.
“This is what happens when you try to delegitimize an institution that is trying to do its job,” Zucker reportedly said on Thursday. “It is shameful on the part of the administration and other politicians to cause a frenzy against something that is guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. It does a disservice to this country and its position in the world and allows a heightened sense of rhetoric against journalists and media organizations.”
Zucker reportedly added that it is “unconscionable and dangerous and they should know better.” He made his remarks the morning after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot on a baseball diamond by someone who hated Trump and Republicans.
Those associated with CNN have spewed some of the most vicious vile at Trump and his supporters since Trump entered the White House. CNN had to fire Kathy Griffin after she posed with a bloodied severed head of Trump. The network also cut ties with Reza Aslan after he called Trump a “piece of shit.”

The most serious threat to CNN is the truth.
Hey Jeff, when you have plays made about you getting ASSASSINATED, when you have celebrities holding up YOUR head ISIS style calling for YOUR execution, when you have people on twitter NON STOP calling for YOUR slaughter..when you have hashtags on twitter(Going on RIGHT NOW) that says #HuntRepublicanCongressman and twitter doesn’t REMOVE IT..then you can say something OK, til then, SHUT YOUR TRAP
When is the next CNN vs MSNBC baseball game? Just ask’n...
Guess what? Thrilled. Except for Breitbart and other conservative news groups, more than happy to have Liberal media concerned for themselves. They give no thought to endangering others 24/7, ESPECIALLY the President.
Tell your reporters to tell the truth and the whole truth. The problem will instantly go away.
Well then stop lying and making false stories. CNN is a loony bin of idiots.
Legacy Media my A$$. More like LYING Media. Maybe a legacy of lying.
Isn’t that too bad, eh? Maybe reporters at CNN shouldn’t piss in the wind so much. Actually, I think they should be kicked off cable.
The media delegitimized themselves. They abandoned journalism a long time ago. Now most of the nation sees them clearly for what they are - shameless, vicious propagandists.
Good point; CNN’s Zucker is like Stalin - project your past wrongdoings on others and constantly blame them for what you have done. I don’t recall Trump running around carrying one of your reporters’ heads, Mr. Zucker, like your talentless, aging redhead “comic” you showcase on New Year’s Eve. I wasn’t aware that Trump, like CNN/TimeWarner, refused to stop sponsoring some garbage called “Shakespeare in the Park” that joyfully and graphically depicts a president’s assassination. I don’t recall Trump’s religion aide, like CNN’s “religion” commentator, calling another person with whom they disagree “s—t” on the air. Clean up your own filthy backyard, Mr. Zucker.
I’d like to catch Zucker alone out on the street.
Just to offer a constructive comment or two, I mean.
Lol! The press deligitimized themselves when they became nothing more than lying propaganda agencies for the Rats. A comparison of Zucker to Goebbels is entirely appropriate.
Michael More is the left’s Leni Riefenstahl. Once again the comparison is apt. Both were lying fanatic propagandists.
Journos are our enemies!!!! PHOOEY to them!!!!
They should be arrested and flogged for impersonating reporters and trying to get Trump killed
If you don’t like your job, quit.
Hey Jeff, what if I just simply think 1970s episodes of “The Electric Company” are more educational than your repulsive daily swill?
The press has delegitimized itself with its hyper-partisan behavior and flat out lying. If you behave as the propaganda organ for the party that hates America, you should not be surprised if REAL Americans loath and despise you. The only reason we haven’t pulled a baseball practice on your sorry a$$es is that we are moral and honorable people who respect the law that you cower behind.
“Hey you guyyys!”
