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.

“What Zucker is saying they want access, respect, and a cowed President or they will double down.”

Exactly.

CNN is #FAKENEWS.

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

This "pizzagate" story should be investigated. It may be more real news than the "pissgate" story used to smear the President Elect.

Point well taken, when Zucker reminds us that CNN is the only American channel seen globally in certain important nations.

Also, in a any crisis event, it’s CNN live coverage that still sets the standard. The other cable channels follow in their wake and often hours late. Particularly, international events.

Not smart to threaten a sitting U.S. President.

The question now is how long before Time Warner forces out Zucker from the Presidency at CNN.

His ‘veiled threat’ must be a violation of some FCC regulatory rule. Fine him at the very least or shut Zucker-Sucker down.

It is being investigated on Gab and Reddit.

Meanwhile, I'm going to smear various #FakeStreamMedia "news" outlets by referring to them as "Pizza Gazette".

Trump’s Twitter is over 20 million followers, of course they want to stop him. He’s reaching more people than watch Sucker’s corrupted news network.
