Default Trump and CNN

I mentioned a number of times on here that Trump and CNN have a different relationship. Many on here falsely accuse and demean the network because of what Trump says,not based on any facts ever.

But important to know the background on all this stuff to understand. Trump did not simply come on the stage without any bagge or history.....as I said earlier, he is well known

"The feud between Donald J. Trump and CNN is like an iceberg: There's so much more going on beneath the surface than anyone knows.

At first glance, it would seem completely adversarial, but it's not.

Trump — at his first press conference as President-elect — lashed out at CNN's Jim Acosta, ignoring questions from the correspondent and blasting the network as "fake news" for its coverage of the explosive, unverified dossier alleging close ties between Trump and Russia.

But it goes deeper and begins at the top with the cable news channel's boss, Jeff Zucker — a man to whom Trump owes much of his fame and fortune."


"It's true I put him on television with 'The Apprentice' in 2004," Zucker told New York magazine this week. "I've never run away from that. But in no way do I think that's why he's the President. You have to give the guy credit. He ran a campaign that worked."


"Before "The Apprentice," the 45th President of the United States was a colorful, big shot New York City developer, but hardly a player on the international stage."

I find this interesting......

"Zucker told New York Magazine the pair talked at least once a month during Trump's campaign for the White House.

But it's their planet-sized egos that sometimes get in the way and during those calls, sources tell MediaBlast, and the cable-news chief never pulled any punches when it came to criticizing Trump's behavior.

It's a move that likely infuriated Trump, sources close to the President said. That anger is also what might have primed the intensity of Trump's response to CNN's most critical reporting."
