Jeff Zucker spoke about Trump's frequent attacks on CNN in a new interview

Thanks!
And they will fight Donald Trump by threatening a teenage video editor.
I love the sound writing of the Founders. Elegant, simple, TRUE.

“Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!”
Clinton threatened to punch William Safire in the face when he called his wife, Hillary Clinton, a congenital liar in a column in the New York Times.

Ready to fight, huh. What the heck have they been doing for the past year or so?
Said the ‘big’ ‘bad’ ‘bully’!!!! CNN and its crap network is the epitome of ‘bullying’ US.
What heck are these people talking about? CNN is not a paramilitary organization. It’s suppose to be a flipping news organization. CNN pull out your organization’s mission statement. Time to return to the prime point of CNN’s existence or die.
Trump has 50% or more of American voters as back up. CNN may want to consider those numbers before taking on Trump. I know they won’t but they are the ones who have everything to lose.
That there is funny.
This is fun to watch.
Reminds me of the black knight in the Monty Python movie.
