CNN president Jeff Zucker recently sat down with Brian Stelter to discuss Very Important Journalism Stuff. Like how CNN is pro-truth:
CNN’s Jeff Zucker tells @brianstelter: “We don’t set out to be anti-Trump,” we’re just “pro-Truth” #CITIZENCNN pic.twitter.com/HOncsgq6i7

Naturally, CNN’s favorite topic Fox News also came up in the conversation. Obviously, Zucker’s not a big fan. After all, Fox News isn’t a bastion of Real Journalism™ like CNN is.
Jeff Zucker pushes back on Brian Stelter saying that Fox News has a lot of great journalists: "You repeat that line a lot and it's one of the mistakes I think you make in ur journalism." (Zucker says that Fox "isn't a journalistic organization.")

Zucker says there's no difference between the News and Opinion sides at Fox. He tells Stelter, "There is no difference. I don't see it that way. I think you're wrong. … It's completely erroneous."

When asked about Shep Smith’s departure from Fox, CNN President Jeff Zucker says that Fox News “are not truth-tellers,” “is not a news organization,” and “is akin to state-run TV.”

OK, Jeff.
is this Zucker's opinion, or is he just delivering straight news? https://t.co/S0P4CqxeyM

Heh.
Does he know he’s the president at CNN?

Zucker apparently hasn’t paid any attention to the network he heads.

That’s rich coming from CNN. My God.

The guy who hired James Clapper to provide news analysis is expressing his concern about truth-telling to the host that regularly invites Dan Rather on his show. Seems legit. https://t.co/bR3TYdpXzc

Don’t forget McCabe

Every single person from the Obama administration walked out of the White House and over to CNN. Except for Harf of course…

Who is the straight news person at CNN? Because Chris Wallace and Brett Baier would probably take issue with this. https://t.co/wUWJstdeqO

Chris Wallace = Sean Hannity, says the “Facts First” network’s boss, who apparently moonlights as a Media Matters intern. https://t.co/4NffigbLzs

Jake Tapper? Not after the Parkland Townhall. Nope.
Anderson Cooper who sat on the board at the Clinton Foundation? Nope. Fredo? Nope.— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) October 24, 2019

The fact that anyone takes this seriously from Zucker, who is easily among the top 5 people responsible for Trump's rise as a political figure, is hilarious. https://t.co/UOJgXDraJr
