Is this really the kind of shop Jeff Zucker, the newly installed head of CNN, wants to run? Is this the “new” CNN: A bunch of unprofessional crybabies who pose as objective journalists have a bad night and then start hurling rocks after the invited guest has turned his back?
Maybe Zucker thinks CNN’s future is to ape MSNBC.
Good luck with that.
