CNN Chief: Antagonism Toward Trump ‘Boosting Morale’ of Network Employees

CNN is viewing its antagonism toward President Donald J. Trump as a “badge of honor” — and according to CNN president Jeff Zucker the network’s daily aggression aimed at Trump is “boosting” employee morale.

President Trump renewed his assault on the veracity of the “fake media” by jousting with CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta at a Thursday press conference. During the back and forth, Trump joked that he was downgrading CNN from merely “fake news,” to “very fake news.” He also poked at the network over its ratings.

Only five months ago, CNN’s ratings were so bad that it slipped into third place — even behind little-watched MSNBC. And just this week Medialife Magazine reported that Fox News took all the top spots in the most viewed cable news programs. The magazine also reported that Fox and MSNBC came in first and second respectively, with CNN showing in at third place.

Despite the slide in ratings and Trump’s characterization of the network as “fake news,” CNN President Jeff Zucker seems proud of his status.

“They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs,” Zucker said of his employees, according to Politico. “I would say that morale is incredibly high … They are not being intimidated, they are not backing down, they know they have my full support and it is a very exciting time, frankly, to be a journalist at CNN.”

As though morale at CNN ever fell once below the level of preening hubris.

“They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs,”

If their job is to promote fake news attacks on Trump, he's 100% correct.

Good. It wouldn’t hurt for y’all to find out where the unemployment office is though.

A lot of losers feel good about themselves....they’re still losers!!!

“They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs,” Zucker said...

So he means also that they weren’t doing their jobs for the last 8 years.....

That needs to be repeated over and over!

That is exactly what I was thinking. They are out-numbered and surrounded...

What’s the story behind Trump’s remark yesterday during his press conference about “Ask Zucker how he got his job”?

[Moonman62]

Yep. It’s all fun and games until the layoffs start.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Hitting my head with a hammer is boosting my morale...

This is simply a tacit admission that they're all bunch of Leftists.

After all, if there were any CNN journalists who were friendly to the President, that statement by Zucker wouldn't be true, would it?

[sargon]

“They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs,” Zucker said of his employees, according to Politico.

Funny how this was never an issue during the last 8 years. I guess CNN is making up for all that lost time when they WEREN'T antagonistic to the sitting President.

These Media pigs deserve what's coming their way...

I know a guy....went to high-school with him.

Became a Journ-O-List and went to work for a big city newspaper.

The paper is on deathwatch. Last year he was given an ultimatum....take a buyout....OR ELSE.

Poor guy is still unemployed. His job prospects as a 25- year journ-o-list boil down to insurance sales and drive-thru manager at Wendy’s.

[MortMan]

And they don’t see this as a problem. LOL

[Lazamataz]

CNN has just become an actual target.

I hope he sticks a revolver in his mouth.

POTUS Trump needs to remove CNN’s Very, Very Fake News from our airports, it must have a government contract that needs to be terminated.

[GOPJ]

“The demand for CNN is incredibly high,” Zucker insisted. “These are very good times for us, and the money is following,” he said,

Sit down Zucker - the little men in white coats will be here soon. They'll take you to a nice place where you can gets lots of rest... Just relax Zucker - everything's going to be fine... Wolf will go with you.
