Fake News CNN Versus President Donald Trump: Network’s Top Executive Makes Veiled Threat
Breitbart News ^ | January 19, 2017 | Matthew Boyle

Fake news outlet CNN’s top executive, Jeff Zucker, is threatening the incoming president of the United States Donald J. Trump.

“It’s just unfortunate that the most powerful person in the world is trying to delegitimize journalism and an organization that plays such a vital role in our democracy,” Zucker, CNN’s president, said in an interview with NY Magazine’s Gabriel Sherman, when asked about how Trump denounced CNN as “fake news” at his press conference last week in New York City....-snip-

... Zucker specifically noted that Trump’s “adversarial relationship” with a network seen in foreign capitals is “a mistake.”

“I think the era of access journalism as we’ve known it is over,” Zucker replied to Sherman. “It doesn’t worry me that Donald Trump hasn’t done an interview with CNN in eight months. I think our credibility is higher than ever, and our viewership is higher than ever, and our reporting is as strong as ever. ...

Trump's Twitter account is global. Foreign networks will begin broadcasting Trump's direct messages - if they haven't already.

CNN will be effectively marginalized in the distribution of foreign news. Just another reason for a President Trump not to abandon his Twitter account.

More losing for Zucker's CNN --- More winning for America.

Too bad - it would have distracted you from picking up your latest "order" at Comet Pizza, you #SpiritCooking piece of satanic filth.

Is can saying that unless Trump makes nice and is deferential to them, they will go out of their way to make him look bad in all the major cities of the world, and that cnn will therefore purposefully shape a negative world view of Trump?

So much for being a “news” network.

Zucker must be in panic over at CNN.

What Zucker is saying to Trump is that CNN is a Muslim Network.

Funny.

CNN has delegitimized themselves. CNN is not journalism, it’s weaponized media pushing an agenda, ie propaganda.

CNN and the mediabots were not worried about the former most powerful man in the world (Obama) and his lack of press conferences. Neither were they worried about the almost most powerful woman in the world (Hillary) and her hiding from the press during the entire campaign.

1. But it's OK for ‘journalists’ to delegitimize Trump?
2. Don't worry about Trump delegitimizing YOU... you're doing a perfect job all by yourself!!

If CNN goes this route, then some thought might be given to determining if they are a conspiracy and a national security threat and appropriate legal action taken.

“Just another reason for a President Trump not to abandon his Twitter account.”

This also has to be driving the lefties at Twitter nuts! They’d absolutely love to ban Trump’s account, but at the same time are loving that the soon to be POTUS is using their network to communicate with the world.

How many “warnings” and “threats” have been made by the Democrat-MSM against DJT since June of 2015?

Exactly.

A foreign news service will use a direct quote from Trump before they source a CNN report*.

*fake report

“..delegitimize journalism and an organization that plays such a vital role in our democracy,” Zucker, CNN’s president, said

“..plays such a vital role” like undermining and destroying our country; by lying, creating #FAKENEWS, promoting corruption, influencing elections, giving demoncrats debate questions, etc.

CNN is #FAKENEWS
