CNN boss says his reporters are ready to fight Donald Trump and will not let him 'bully and intimidate' them

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

'My job is to remind everyone they need to stay focused doing their job', he said

He added: 'He's trying to bully us, and we're not going to let him intimidate us. You can't lose confidence and let that change the way you conduct yourselves'

CNN has been under fire this week for allegedly 'blackmailing' the person who created a meme that was lifted then tweeted out by Donald Trump on Sunday

It showed the president tackling a figure with CNN's logo for a head and hitting it

CNN President has hit back at Donald Trump and his near-constant attacks on the network, saying he is comfortable going to battle with the commander-in-chief every day.

Jeff Zucker, CNN's 53-year-old head honcho, spoke about what it is like for his network to find itself so frequently in the president's crosshairs.

'I'm comfortable going to work in Thunderdome every day,' Zucker told the New York Times, referencing the steel cage where people fight for their lives in the Australian film franchise, Mad Max.

'My job is to remind everyone that they need to stay focused doing their job.

CNN officially announces they are no longer journalists but DNC Activists.

We all knew that, but it’s official now.

If Zucker actually made them do their jobs as real journalists and not partisan scumbags none of this would be an issue. Trump finally called them out on their up until now unchallenged propaganda for the Democrat party.

Fight? hmm... thought they are supposed to be in the news business. I know they aren’t, but here they outright admit it.

“... and we’re not going to let him intimidate us.”

Zucker seems to have confused the word “intimidate” with the word “humiliate”.

Zucker is trying to spin this the only way he knows how; to get ratings.
He’s trying to turn this into a wrestling bout that everyone will tune in to watch.

Call AT&T if you a customer and say No to the merger.

Time for the White House to pull their press credentials. They are no longer press.

Since CNN wants a war let’s give them an information war.

Time to Boycott all their sponsors. We Will need a list of all of their sponsors. I will give Sponsors 30 days to issue a Statement

Time to cut CNN out of the federal tax money they receive on all cable bills. Time have the channel turned in airports, train stations and bus terminals. No more fake news.

Let’s meme the h@ll out of CNN too.

President Trump and the FCC should block the AT&T Time Warner Merger and let them know CNN is causing this.

I never liked the proposed merger from the start. It’s simply too big. Remember AT&T just bought out Direct TV too.

The biggest bully on TV cable is that CNN nasty thug, Don Corleone Cuomo.

He even looks like a severed horse's head...and another part of the creature, as well.

His conservative guests should check their beds before climbing in at night.

He's bad news, both ways.

Zucker, what a p**sy. what a pearl-clutching drama queen!

I’m sure Zucker plays dollies and Barbie Queen of the Prom with Little Jimmy Acosta. Zucker and Little Jimmy try to pretend they’re real men with actual testicles, but it’s not working.

Hey Zuck, you suck!!! MILLIONS are pointing and laughing at you. The label “fake news” is going to stick to you FOREVER!!!

“The stupid, it burns.” LMAO
