CNN President Jeff Zucker declared his network would “not going to be shamed” into covering Benghazi and other stories without “real news value” at an awards dinner Monday.
Capital New York reports that Zucker explained CNN’s post-plane plans during an interview at the Deadline Club’s annual dinner on Monday night.
“I don’t think there’s any question about our commitment to breaking news, as evidenced by all the questions about the plane,” Zucker told The New York Times’ Bill Carter (RELATED: The five most ridiculous aspects of CNN’s missing Malaysian flight coverage).
“So we’re still there whenever that happens,” he continued, “but we’re going to supplement that with some different kind of storytelling.”
What kind of stories? “Climate change is one of those stories that deserves more attention, that we all talk about,” he explained — though he lamented the fact that “when we do do those stories, there does tend to be a tremendous amount of lack of interest on the audience’s part.”
But there are some stories Zucker is loathe to touch, like the House select committee on Benghazi scandal.
“We’re not going to be shamed into it by others who have political beliefs that want to try to have temper tantrums to shame other news organizations into covering something,” he explained, taking a not-so-subtle shot at the Republican Party. “If it’s of real news value, we’ll cover it.”

...well, they haven’t found that airplane yet, so airtime is limited.
News is what we want you to know. Truth is not relevant. YOU WILL CONFORM, OR ELSE!
Pass it on; CNN is now officially ZUCKED UP!
So........Zucker....don’t cover the Benghazi select committe hearings and watch your CNN sink some more in viewer ratings. Ya know....you are a joke from A-Z. Tonight you morons at CNN are covering the Stering “Racist” gig. Got a hint for you, no one cares about a demented old man and his rantings!!! Ya just don’t get it!!!
We’re not reporting news and you can’t make us.
That is because CNN has no shame.
If a real news story falls in the forest and CNN somehow accidentally reports it - who will know?
So Zucker says his network won’t be shamed into covering the Benghazi hearings but they were shameless in their round the clock reporting of flight MH 370. What do you expect from CNN (The Completely Nothing Network)?
And there it is, the main focus of all MSM,
They didn’t have a problem covering every fake but accurate scandal that was thrown at W.
There are some awful, awful people in this country ;/
But we were all OVER Valerie Plame
So, the final line. If CNN, which stands for the “Cable News Network.” does not report news, what is it? How about the PACN, the propaganda and crap network?
That’s because CNN has no shame.
How does that Marxist machine stay on the air?
Pray America wakes up
Bump
Can you be shamed into doing your job?
I’m sure the share holders believe in you.
Your stupid, insipid amd ad naseum novella type reporting is pure sensationislm.
It’s not news and at some point loses relevancy, as will CNN eventually.
