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.

Jeff Zucker is a CHILD.
Jeffy looks like that BLOB in the comics.
He’s living rent free in their minds
My favorite memes: CNN falling in the trash can all by themselves and the Zucker interview using Griffin’s “poor me” speech
I’m enjoying this!
In simpler times that was called ... propaganda!
And 63 million voters are ready to fight CNN!
So am I to understand by that statement the here to fore CNN WASN’T fighting Trump?
Dumbass thinks he's MasterBlaster, lol.
Yep, and there’s no way better to fight Trump than to extort some anonymous Internet poster into silence. It sure has everybody on the Internet impressed.
Looks like Communist News Network is getting drowned in “negative covfefe”.
It doesn't make sense for them to double-down on such stupidity. The outrage has been of biblical proportions if one visits many places on the internet. Even liberals have condemned the latest garbage. The company heads would have resigned or been fired by now in any normal situation such as this.
Zucker has to know this is hurting their brand and that's a no-no for their investors. The board of directors have to be as corrupt as Zucker because they have done nothing to help protect the investors. This is really unheard of as far as doubling down on stupid and killing the brand.
Then I'm reminded of what Hillary Clinton purportedly said behind close doors that if Donald Trump won the presidency, they would all hang. I just wonder how deep Zucker and the CNN brass are in this with Hillary, the dem party, etc. that they are trying to protect.
In that case, it all makes sense. They have no choice but to double-down on stupid or they hang with the rest of the corruptocrats.
CGato
CNN has been at DEFCON 1 since Donald Trump was elected POTUS.
Think it will go that far?
and 4chan simply shakes it's bottle of Adderal at them...
Like watching a cat play with a mouse
It never gets old
Can someone tell me why the White house even allows fraud news in? Is their seat in the white house in the constitution? Funny, the last Admin only allowed cherry picked press in.
I do agree. But, Coumo is not a force on the Hill. Mika and Joe, are. They are going to get rich and famous for cutting Trump off at the knees, with Congress and in Congress.
Jeff Zucker: We’re not yet the American incarnation to Hitler’s Ministry of Propaganda, but we are trying.
