I have a question for Jeff Zucker.

What career path is held in higher esteem by the public?

A port-o-john cleaner employed by It's Gone Septic and Sewer Service or reporter working for CNN?

I would have to say that the Port-O-John cleaner is a job that brings with it more integrity and honesty.

Of course he is. He's trying to protect the Time Warner/AT&T merger.

What's next Secret Service protection for reporters.
Katy Tur had to be escorted to her vehicle by the SS after one particular NASTY rally of Trump's. He called her out; had the crowd turn around and scream at her. The SS was afraid she would be attacked afterward.

I can certainly tell you one person who does NOT want to be held accountable ever for anything and that is Donald Trump. And, if you notice, he unfailingly blames someone else when the SHTF.

Someone needs to test the water over there. I think they're drinking crazy-laced H2O.
Yeah, that and they tend to hire those with an educational background from a left-leaning university on the subject of Rhetoric.

Degree in Rhetoric + kool aid = today's media

So now the #FakeNews media brings the Constitution into play?

Just like the Constitution guarantees a free press (and a free press isn't being threatened in any actual way . . . no, the media remains fully free to spew their hatred and lies), the Constitution also guarantees free speech for all. If the "free press" can editorialize/offer opinions against policies and politicians they don't like, the press can be attacked in a similar way. What is good for the goose ought to be good for the gander.

Putin's disinformation campaign is in high gear today.

Question: Are these part of the Kremlin's 1,000+ online provocateurs or merely "useful idiots" unwittingly spreading disinformation?
