What a joke Zucker and that whole network have become. I never agreed with CNN’s editorial agenda; but it was at least a professional organization for several years and paved the way for other news networks of its kind. It is now a pathetic shell of whatever it used to be and I can’t help taking some joy in watching it self-destruct.

Why do they even mention “journalistic ethics” in this story? Seems way out of context, when speaking of CNN.

I lived and worked in Communist countries. everything in the media in those places was a highly manufactured narrative supporting a specific political campaign. Intelligent people in those countries learned to read between the lines and discern the propaganda from any possible facts presented.

The American main-stream media now is no different.

What is this telling us? That the “Russia-gate” campaign is over. The Left and anti-trumpers will withdraw from this battle, and prepare for their next attack elsewhere.

We can now add "Journalistic Ethics" to our lexicon of oxymorons, alongside "Military Intelligence"

Yes, those people in the former Communist countries knew that they were lied to. The problem here is that a lot of CNN and other MSM consumers have no idea they’re lied to. Tried to show a CNN watching friend a video with a different view. Didn’t want to see it. Mind you, I have other highly educated low-information voter friends. I stay away from political discussions. You can lead a horse to water, etc.

LIBS are lunatics. It is best avoid them all together. They are a waste of you. Work ceaselessly to crush them.

They want to believe it. It fits their ideology, so they easily believe its true. I know the same types.

I can remember when CNN came on the air back in 1980. Here in small town Texas some 56 miles south of Big D, this was when we first got cable TV.

CNN was a breath of fresh air. They were 'Fair and Balanced' in their coverage when put up next to the big three network's Easterner Elite Liberal Slant on any and all news from ABC, CBS and NBC.

When looked at it today, they were no Roger Ailes' Fox News by any stretch of the imagination but they did give both sides in a more or less objective way that journalism was supposed to be--

AND they had Kathleen Sullivan!

She was the first News... Babe and I still have the hots for her in the deep recesses of my 70 year old brain.

It was only logical that Kathleen was the basic cable "Party Girl" back then... correct, Captain?

To tell the full and absolute truth, Kathleen... gave me a little electric thrill, also--

I know that feeling well... Maggie!

According to the article, Trump advisor, Anthony Scaramucci "took the high road" and accepted CNN's apology.

I wish he would take another road and throw a huge lawsuit at Zucker and the CNN network for slander, libel, whatever.

The lies about him that these news-fakers threw out to the public will forever cling to him like lint despite any apologies....and will certainly always have a clouding effect on his future political and business careers.

As Robert Burns said (and as Scaramucci SHOULD have said)...."Oh, ye take the high road, and I'll take the low road...and I'll be in court-land a'fore ye....."

Sooner or later it seems the Kathleen Sullivans of the world of the media turn into Megyn Kellys who need a good spanking by the likes of real men like Donald Trump.

There, how's that for a Tuesday morning anti-politically-correct-but-true statement?

Just another Dem angry that they got caught so easily. Nothing much more than that.
