Bt is Zucker’s claim true? I saw where Iran kicked al Jazeera out in 2015. Just wondering if there’s an alternative to CNN.

It’s no wonder the rest of the world is so disconnected from the real America.

How long has it been since you hopped through those foreign capitals?

Many on the left swear Anderson Cooper is an operative of the CIA on CNN to spread disinformation.

CNN prez Zucker reports: "our credibility is higher than ever, and our viewership is higher than ever, and our reporting is as strong as ever."

Someone forgot to take his irony pills

WaPo already is trying to protect Podesta and his spirit cooking. I just don’t trust the drive by media and debunking sites such as Snopes are the worst of all.

Now that's a "Hit Piece", literally.

Just imagine the wailing unleashed if that same piece was about an Obama assassination...

What CNN gets away with is sickening.

CNN <= Deep State propaganda organ

All CIA internal propaganda needs to be sanctioned by one of Trump’s first EXECUTIVE ORDERs....(tomorrow)

Hey Jeff, How’s that Katie show working out for you? And that Tabloid News Net you run, better than the Mirror? They have more readers that you have viewers.

Jeff Sucker’s accusatory and defensive comments come at the worse time when CNN’s credibility is under more scrutiny than it has ever faced.

CNN is at the center of so many fake news controversies. Not sure if Ted Turner would have done a worse job had he held on to it.

The Secret Service needs to be making some more arrests!

CNN is advertising for any lone nut balls who can set off a bomb and take out the top 4 - Pres. VP, Speaker of the House, Senate Proteum.

That would leave John Kerry as next in line IIRC, according to the continuity of government laws.

Goes along with all the rest of the protesters - stop Trump, any way possible.

Everyone should flood Time Warner Executives with calls to Fire head of CNN Zucker and Wolfie Blitzer.

I find this offensive and chilling that CNN would do this. Especially since so many Democrats are not attending.

FCC should pull their license, and Time Warner should fire Zucker - no way this story ran without his approval - in fact he probably planned it.

I know of one “journalist” who had a rocket strapped to her back until she tried to take Trump down. Go ahead, Zucker, keep it up.

They need to deal with it. Fox News had to deal with it. Including Rosen who was personally targeted

... delegitimize ...

You’re exactly right. That word was on his mind because he is quite practiced at it. Projection.

“It’s just unfortunate that the most powerful person in the world is trying to delegitimize journalism...”

Journalism is great. It’s you that’s the problem, and you did it to yourself. Donald just acknowledged the obvious.

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-

They haven’t shown him CNN’s ratings yet? Must be a clip of Hitler finding out by now.

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

“.. I think our credibility is higher than ever, and our viewership is higher than ever, and our reporting is as strong as ever. ...”

That may be true in ways that Zucker can’t imagine.

We ditched Cable News Network years ago. That's what CNN was: a 24 cable station to broadcast news on the hour (and fashion news on Saturday with Elsa Klensch) as opposed to just the local news in the morning and night and the national news in the early PM.

We have this thing called the Inter-Net in the far-flung future of 2017. Maybe you've never heard of it, Mr. Zucker. We get news on demand, whenever we want it.
