CNN president says network made 'mistake' in airing too much Donald Trump.

[elleng]

'There's less than a month to go until Election Night, and one of the nation's largest TV network has admitted its made a mistake in its coverage.

CNN perhaps aired too much of Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"If we made a mistake, [it was] we shouldn't have put on as many [Trump] rallies as we did," CNN President Jeff Zucker told Washington Post political correspondent Lois Romano Friday, speaking at an event at Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics.'>>>

1. jackass

Cable news channels have been under particular scrutiny for how much coverage has been dedicated to Trump, particularly the many rallies he has held. One media analysis firm put the value of the overall time dedicated to Trump at around $3 billion.

2. To late asshat

It didn't help HIM. Just made your network look like suck ups.

3. Media made him before and again

The uncensored media gave some people, subjectively deluded, holed-up and not out in the world, the idea that Trump's pets were more numerous than they are.

Most Trump supporters would not last a week in any city, where uncivil people are, but civility reigns. Were PC behavior not known as the only appropriate behavior, we would have no approbation about poorly civilized, nasty behavior.
Morality is PC.

The golden rule is not a mandate from above, it is a manifestation from within the heart of mindful people.

5. Sorry

Too little, too late for Zucker who previously said Trump might be bad for the country but he was great for business/ratings. Like squirmy Republicans creeped out by their own candidate, you don't get any credit for calling 'crazy' once the straight-jacket comes out.

Trump has been 'massaged' by the media while they squeezed out his entertainment value to enhance their own particular media brand.

The Donald was always toxic. You don't get points for self-inflicted blindness.

6. too late, you asshole.

8. BULLSHIT he knew what he was doing

it's ALL about ratings, period.

9. 'ya think?

10. Lewandowski & non stop booty kissing of Trump

CNN is culpable in the media crime of Trump.

[reflection]

11. You think? You shitheel.

The media played a dangerous game this election season. It looks as if we got lucky, but I won't feel good for awhile. The next guy might be as evil as Trump, but not as stupid. A more likeable version of Cruz and we could have been in real trouble.

12. It wasn't a mistake

The rallies got the best ratings. Makes business sense to air them.

13. fuck him

[liberalhistorian]

14. Gee, ya think, assholes?

You're about fifteen months too late to the party. And thanks to you and the other media whores, you gave him a platform and legitimized his campaign when it should have been a laughable footnote in history from the very fucking beginning. But you had to put ratings and profits above all else, especially the good of the country, didn't you? Fuck you ALL.

15. Time for the M$M to cover their asses.

The plain and simple truth is the M$M created this monster and they responsible for this horror show of an election. We need to remind them of their failure to serve the public good now and in the future.

[FrenchieCat]

16. Duh f*cking Doh!

[LeftRant]

17. Jeff Zucker is a greedy dick.

[BobbyDrake]

18. No other answer even comes close to this truth. nt

[Puzzler]

20. The irony is...

... that despite the obvious hypocrisy of CNN' president. The over-coverage of Trump has effectively helped destroy Trump.

You could just as easily read between the lines here to think: "Gee, we'd better stop covering Trump so much, because we're helping to destroy him. Best to cut down"

Also CNN's contrition, even if sincere is a bit bloody late! Excuse my language, but f*** off jerk!

21. So Hillary got lucky it wasn't somebody else

Clinton ally to Podesta: 'Hillary is almost totally dependent on Republicans nominating Trump'
Brent Budowsky, a former Hill staffer and media commentator, emailed Podesta to express his concern about the relative weakness of Clinton’s candidacy.

“Right now I am petrified that Hillary is almost totally dependent on Republicans nominating Trump,” Budowsky said in a March email. “[E]ven a clown like Ted Cruz would be an even money bet to beat and this scares the hell of out me.”

Budowsky suggested that Clinton “look for issues where she can dovetail with Bernie [Sanders]” to appeal to his supporters. Budowsky also suggested that Clinton’s knocks against Sanders were unfair, saying she should stop attacking him “especially when she says things that are untrue, which candidly she often does.”

22. Like a guy who makes a 'mistake' by overworking the inflatable doll...

Now that I practiced my love so much that the damned thing won't hold air, I'd like to return it for a full refund.
