CNN president Jeff Zucker took aim at his networks competitors in a Friday interview with New Yorker magazines weekly radio program. Zucker labeled Fox News state-run TV and contended that MSNBC has become the opposition to President Donald Trump.
He also predictably placed CNN as being in the center, asserting that the network was seeing the truth.
New Yorker editor David Remnick prompted Zucker for his take on the politics on the major cable news outlets. The CNN president, who once claimed that his network was truly fair and balanced in August 2016, replied with shots at Fox News and MSNBC.
After some hesitance, he said, Certainly in prime time and in the morning, Fox is state-run TV, and is extolling the line out of the White House. MSNBC has become the opposition. And I think CNN is seeking the truth.
