Jeff Zucker’s legacy is defined by his promotion of Donald Trump

I’m in French Polynesia . CNN international is soooo much better than in the U.S. It’s actually news like it was in the late ‘80’s.
 
Ratings ratings ratings.

It's easy to forget that the nation viewed him as a joke that would never win, so it seemed like a safe bet to have him on every day.

Nobody expected Comey to hand him the election.


I was watching an interview with a politician on CNN and they literally cut him off in midsentence to present...a shot of Trump's plane he still did not depart from. Then, they kept a shot of the plane sitting on the airfield for 10 minutes, saying they expect Trump to exit the plane soon.
 
Zucker created Trump the TV sensation, which was the necessary foundation for Trump the candidate. Years later, after moving from NBC to CNN, Zucker recollected very well that Trump was a self-proclaimed “ratings machine” — a rare instance of Trumpian truth-telling.

CNN infamously took his campaign speeches live, sometimes going so far as to broadcast images of an empty lectern with embarrassing chyrons such as “Breaking News: Standing By for Trump to Speak.” You can’t buy that kind of media.

I remember that. CNN gave Trump free time to campaign.
Did the hildebeest mention this as one of her 67 excuses in her book “What Happened “?

The ONLY thing that trump has ever succeeded at, is self promotion.

He's botched everything else he touched.
 
He obliterated journalism standards at CNN as he turned it into a political operation, pushing WOKE REVOLUTION propaganda.

I was pointing out the destruction of CNN by 2014 at the latest...I called it the Premier Victim Culture Cult Propaganda Channel.

What do you call Fox News???????????
