You know it’s bad when even a comedian can see what you’re trying to do.

Since Donald Trump left office, Jeff Zucker’s CNN has seen its rating crater and comic Bill Burr says that now CNN is hoping and trying to get Trump back in the White House.

On his podcast, Burr has branded CNN 'fucking morons' for continuing to talk Trump and Burr claims 'They want Darth Vader to come back' because Joe Biden doesn't bring in viewers.

The comedian hit out at 24-hour cable news networks, and especially CNN, in a three-minute, profanity-laced rant on Thursday's episode of Burr's 'Monday Morning Podcast'. 

'I can't believe people watch that channel,' Burr said. 'They want Darth Vader to come back because they got nothing to talk about because it's show business, and Joe Biden is a fucking bore. 

'So now what do they do? They’re doing what they did the first time to get this guy elected by giving him all this free coverage while they act like they allegedly don’t like him. I don’t buy it. They are a corporate news channel.
