Several CNN staff members were caught on hidden camera reminiscing about the days when they say the cable news network used to “cover news.” Now, they say, it’s all about left-leaning bias, sensationalism, and—above all—an incessant focus on President Donald Trump.

They largely blame their issues with the network on its top leadership, particularly CNN President Jeff Zucker.

The recordings were published on Oct. 17 by investigative journalism nonprofit Project Veritas as the third part of its series of reports on CNN.

“I hate seeing what we were and what we could be and what we’ve become,” Patrick Davis, a manager of CNN field operations and a 25-year veteran of the network, was recorded as saying. “It’s just awful.”

Davis noted that while journalists learn in school that their job is “to be middle of the road,” CNN has failed to acknowledge that this isn’t its business model.

“Doing just regular day-in, day-out telling the news, you’re not gonna compete with Fox or MSNBC,” he said. “Because even though we’re totally left-leaning … we don’t want to admit it.”

“Basically it comes down to Zucker,” Nick Neville, a CNN news associate, was recorded as saying. “It leans left probably because of Zucker.”

He suggested that CNN “could let the news people decide the news and have the executives stay out of it,” but his coworker, Christian Sierra, a CNN media coordinator, responded pessimistically.

“It’s never going to happen,” he said.

Davis said he’s worked under CNN presidents who were “so hands-off that you don’t even hear from them for a month.”

However, he said, that’s not Zucker’s style.

“He’s involved every day, has a plan, whatever—I just don’t agree with it.”

Yes, CNN used to be something.

Now they’re just a petty and vindictive Democrat propaganda outlet.

And it’s not just Zucker, yes he’s a malicious idiot, but so are the owners of CNN who keep renewing this turkey’s contract ... Zucker could be replaced in 5 minutes - and by someone who actually is competent - if his bosses really wanted to..... might even become a REAL NEWS AGENCY again!
