TrumpCo is loving every minute of this. No one is talking about Saudi Arabia, voter suppression, or Trump's taxes.

I think you are correct!

The WH staff aren’t idiots. They know the power of their words. That’s why THEY USE THEM! Zucker is in denial that Trumpy is an evil Fascist.

Mr. Zucker, you just refused to see. You sold out your network for ratings and capitalism, never believing that this could ever happen to you. CNN should get a new president of the network who will protect the reporters and their journalistic efforts.

Democracy is getting in their way.

Looking for someone specific to hold responsible for the improbable rise of Donald Trump?

Although there are many options, you could do worse than to take a hard look at Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide.

Jeff Zucker has turned CNN into a Trump reality show.The New York Times Magazine has a fascinating profile of Zucker and CNN under Trump. There are plenty of juicy details in it—including the fact that Trump considered giving exclusive rights to his inauguration to Fox News, suggesting he’s incapable of thinking about politics outside of his own base. But the biggest takeaway is that Zucker realized in 2016 that the network’s programming should revolve around Trump’s star. Here are two telling paragraphs:
It’s hard to imagine that either Trump or Zucker would be where he is today without the other. Trump’s foray into reality TV gave Zucker a prime-time hit when he badly needed one; now, Trump’s foray into politics has given Zucker a big story when he badly needed one. It’s a symbiotic relationship that could only thrive in the world of television, where the borders between news and entertainment, and even fantasy and reality, have grown increasingly murky....

As Zucker sees it, his pro-Trump panelists are not just spokespeople for a worldview; they are “characters in a drama,” members of CNN’s extended ensemble cast. “Everybody says, ‘Oh, I can’t believe you have Jeffery Lord or Kayleigh McEnany,’ but you know what?” Zucker told me with some satisfaction. “They know who Jeffrey Lord and Kayleigh McEnany are.”

CNN still does great reporting (particularly online) and it has more than its fair share of excellent journalists, many of whom—like Jim Acosta and Jake Tapper—have also become characters in the Trump pageant. But Zucker’s main realization was that putting Trump front-and-center—and allowing people like Lord and McEnany to provide a credible-seeming foundation for his lies, half-truths, and ravings—instead of, say, reporting or news, would let the network thrive. And the only cost was the destruction of the country.

You own this. And since the abysmal performance of your reality TV “news channel” in 2015 and 2016, you’ve done nothing to clean up your act. How many hours have you spent covering the migrant caravan “crisis” this week?

Again, fuck you.
