CNN Chief Jeff Zucker: ‘Shameful’ Trump Endangering MSM Reporters
Breitbart.com ^ | 16 Jun 2017 | Tony Lee

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.”

CNN employs liars and propagandists, NOT reporters.

CNN is basically a tabloid at this point - making stuff up to sell air time and clicks. This turd has zero moral authority and can be completely ignored. When the powderkeg he helped light goes off, hope he’s caught in it.

Leftists invariably accuse others of doing what they themselves are doing.

SJWs always lie.

SJWs always project.

SJWs always double down.

To Jeff Zucker: Two things.

1. Zuck on this!
2. You’re Treif (impure, unfit for consumption) in Yiddish
3. You’re crazy as batshit in the hot sun
4 No wonder CNN is known as the Crazy Nuts Network and I don’t mean your balls, those little Babawingees (Thank you Garrett Morris).

When the “press” can operate as an enemy of the President and the right wing without consequence, there is no disincentive to them attempting to overthrow Trump via legal warfare and inciting violence against the Right.

The press in Russia behaves because once in a while one of them gets shot or disappears.

The US is made weaker and less safe by allowing the degenerate animals in the press to operate against the national interest.

It is not “Patriotic” to allow them to continue unmolested, it is cowardly and wrong.

“Leftists invariably accuse others of doing what they themselves are doing.”

It’s a basic principle of theirs. “Accuse others of what you do.” Can’t remember if it was Lenin or Stalin said it.

There’s nothing in The Constitution that immunized “the press” from scrutiny or criticism so, suck it up, Snowflake.

"Mmph. No. There is no 'try'. Only 'do' or 'do not'. There is no 'try'. Idiot."

The best defense is a good offense. Accuse the other side of what you’re doing.
