CNN President Jeff Zucker on Friday said it was a "mistake" to air so many Trump rallies "and let them run" in 2015, giving the candidate an unfettered platform to call Mexicans rapists, support bans on Muslims from entering the US, and overall grow his base, which includes white nationalists.
"If we made any mistake last year, it's that we probably did put on too many of his campaign rallies in those early months and let them run," Zucker said at a talk at the Harvard Kennedy School. "Listen, because you never knew what he would say, there was an attraction to put those on air."

I wonder what the ratings were for a Trump Rally compared to whatever else CNN would be showing at the same time.
We are sorry we let the TRUTH slip out...’cause our lies did not work as well afterward.
Glad you fixed that—now CNN has turned into a 24-7 bash Trump hate-fest that nobody watches!
Keep up the good work—until your sponsors walk away in disgust.

Well, fire your entire CNN crew for their multiple “mistakes” and then fire yourself, Jeffie Poo, for not being as pretty as you think and so slow on your feet to correct YOUR multiple “mistakes”.
Jeffrey is a Clinton plant just like old Stephy the campaign smear merchant at ABC.

I was at the Trump rally in Portsmouth NH today. The crowd kept turning around and yelling insults to the platform where the media was filming the event. Special hatred was targeted at CNN.
Americans hate the media. We told them today. Over and over and over and over.
But I think the media remains clueless why their ratings fall.
Need further proof about CNN?
Nothing more need be said.
(Except to the mega bimbo over at MSNBC.)
It is time to make a list of ALL SPONSORS on CNN and issue boycotts of their products.
Has anyone ever seen him and Andrew Zimmern in the same room?
Pravda runs strong with this douche.

Good job.
“Our mistake was letting people hear for themselves rather than giving theme our edited opinion on what was said”
And CNN did it in collaboration with Podesta and the Hillary Campaign because Hillary and Podesta thought Trump was the easiest to beat in the general as documented in the wiki leaks Podesta e mails
Donald Trump has really changed the world in the space of 12 months
It is all about the ratings.

The media is like a lot of other businesses. They fail to respect their customers. They believe their customers are their advertisers rather than those who listen and purchase from the advertisers.
WE have the power of the purse, and apparently, we need to display that power more often.
