I’m sure Trump is really skeered about what CNN reports about him in Pyongyang et al. CNN will continue to bleed honest real viewers until they cease being an active propaganda arm of the democrat party.

“The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN.”

...precisely why he’ll continue to ignore you.

I’m hoping he’ll cut the whole corporate media spectrum entirely - no privileges whatsoever, and no access given.

Trump right now has the power to singlehandedly empower a brand new generation of media organizations, ones not controlled by corporate cartels.

And this media that is linked to other countries is funded by the US government. Time to cut their funding.

What an idiot. He is bringing a pea shooter to a bazooka fight. CNN is the anti-American network that gave special treatment to Saddam Hussein so they could have a Baghdad office, and he really wants to brag about that??? Wonder what other arrangements CNN has with despots around the world. Pres. Trump needs to investigate those cozy agreements with America’s enemies.

What do you expect from a company that has terrorist sympathizers like Christian Amanpour on the payroll?

“The only station.....” All the more reason to eliminate CNN from the briefing room. Why in God’s name would a sane President provide a press agency access when the sole mission of said agency was to fabricate negative propaganda against that President?

The silly bastards do not understand how the game works. The President of the United States designates them a deceptive propaganda network, refuses them space at the Press conferences, refuses them access or interviews, and freezes them out.

What are they going to do? They need access to him to remain relevant. If all the other networks can cover him and get access, then that puts them at a competitive advantage to CNN.

If the rest of the Republicans follow his lead, then this does even more damage to CNN. All Trump needs to do is to establish the meme that CNN is corrupt and biased, and that is it for CNN.

Since I have 5 minutes, for those of us old enough to remember, the Eastern Bloc nations crapped all over the US diplomatic corp(se). Carter would clutch his pearls, but Reagan immediately returned the favor and did things like cut off water to the Eastern Bloc embassies. Wouldn’t you know it, they stopped pulling all that crap.

It’s going to take Trump revoking CNNs credentials. In my opinion, they’ve done enough already to justify it, ESPECIALLY when their president is STUPID enough to threaten him like that.

Pffffttt...the relationship between the press and the government is expected to be adversarial, Mr. Zucker. But we look to the press to look out for US, for freedom and truth. You? You look out for YOUSELVES and YOUR ideology.

We despise you for your deliberate failure.

Maybe he should just go on back to Piedmont Park and look for another hookup. Ridiculous. Not a warrior.

“One of the things I think this administration hasn’t figured out yet is that there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus - and that’s CNN,” Zucker said.

OK, that’s 8 people......

Maybe the FEC needs to do a Complete and Thorough Investigation into ILLEGAL IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS regarding CNN and the Clinton campaign.

OMG! I've been saying this for over a decade. *YES!* The Media monopoly "gifts" the Democrats with about a billion dollars of "in kind" contributions every single election cycle. They do not report these contributions to the FEC, and they should have long ago have been brought to an accounting for their efforts to illegally manipulate elections.

“I am reminded of the scene in “The Dark Knight” where the accountant at Wayne Industries tells Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) that he knows who Bruce Wayne really is. The accountant wants $10M a year, for life.

Lucius Fox: Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands; and your plan, is to *blackmail* this person? Good luck.”

That’ right. I forgot about that scene and how appropriate for this story!!
