Confronting Jeff Zucker
It seems that Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe is at it again.
The right wing troublemaker says that a CNN employee gave him the access code to CNN’s daily call with company head Jeff Zucker and O’Keefe dialed in for months to listen to the call.
As anyone that was sat in on the morning meeting in a TV newsroom can attest, the idea that anyone would want to sit in on these calls when they don’t have, should have their head examined.
O’Keefe finally decided to unmuted the call and confronted Zucker.
“Hey Jeff Zucker, are you there?” O’Keefe says. “Hey, this is James O’Keefe. We’ve been listening to your CNN calls for basically two months, recording everything. Just wanted to ask you some questions if you have a minute. Do you still feel you’re the most trusted name in news, because I have to say from what I’ve been hearing on these phone calls, I don’t know about that and we got a lot of recordings that indicate that you’re not really that independent of a journalist.”
Zucker responded, “OK, thank you for your comments.”
“So everybody, in light of that I think what we’ll do is we’ll set up a new system and we’ll be back with you,” Zucker continued. “We’ll do the rest of the call a little bit later.”
O’Keefe responded by saying that he is going to start releasing the recordings of the calls.
And, he did just that:
First off, you don’t need to be listening in to any call to discover that CNN is an unbiased cable news station. Just turn on the damn channel.
Of course, Jeff Zucker has an agenda, there is no news in that.
CNN responded to O’Keefe claiming he might have committed a felony.
If O’Keefe was sitting in a “one party consent” state while recording the calls, my thought is he didn’t break the law.
Also, if he did, don’t you think Trump will pardon him on the why out the door of the White House?
As for “exposing” CNN, or Jeff Zucker, I really don’t think O’Keefe or anyone else needs to do that.
Jeff Zucker was exposed long ago that he has an agenda and he is nothing close to resembling a real Journalist.
I don’t think anyone has to sit on a conference call to figure that out.
Just saying….
