CNN's President Says Trump Is A 'Terrible Media Critic'
- 7 years ago
During an interview on Thursday, CNN's President Jeff Zucker said Donald Trump is a "terrible media critic."
CNN has been one of President Trump's favorite targets, with many of his tweets characterizing the network as "fake news."
During Business Insider's IGNITION conference on Thursday, when the topic of Trump's criticism came up, CNN's President Jeff Zucker said, "he is a terrible media critic."
Zucker made that remark in reference to a tweet by Trump on November 25.
"@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!" Trump wrote.
On CNN's viewership in the U.S., Zucker said the network has seen record viewership this year, adding that "this is the most-watched year in the history of CNN on television."
However, one may not get that impression based on Trump's recent tweets.
"While in the Philippines I was forced to watch @CNN, which I have not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!" Trump tweeted on November 15.
