Why Does Nobody Trust CNN Anymore?
4 Feb 2022
BUCK: The CNN implosion continues to reverberate across the media landscape; that’s for sure. Turns out now the reporting is that Zucker’s affair with his subordinate that he kept promoting stretched back for decades, actually. It wasn’t just some recent thing that was not disclosed. You have got reports of Tapper calling ousted Cuomo “a terrorist,” I believe.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: Right? Was that the term used?
CLAY: Yeah, your boy Tapper called him a terrorist and said that he won, that they were negotiating with terrorists.
BUCK: All these CNN people are such egomaniacs. It’s really remarkable. But, anyway, why would people have a lack of trust in CNN? They wonder about this aloud these days — and sure enough, this is a montage from the Grabien service on why does no one trust CNN anymore. Just want you to listen to the things that get said on CNN recently. Play 20.
BUCK: We can just go all day, Clay. That is supposed to be — and understand this, everyone — an objective news network. Not so much.
CLAY: Did you see the new head of Discovery, the organization that is going to own CNN coming forward? He was on, I believe it was, CNBC earlier today, Buck, and he referred to CNN as a left-leaning news organization, which is interesting because CNN would claim, “Oh, we’re not left leaning. We just report the truth.” But their actual owners in the near future here — I believe his name is Zaslav, something like that — is calling out CNN for being a left-wing focused news organization.
Not a particularly good one, as you just heard from all that misinformation. Remember I put up the poll: “Who do you trust more?” because Brian Stelter was up in arms over the fact that trusted Joe Rogan, “CNN or Joe Rogan?” In my audience, over 40,000 of you voted, 96% of you said you trusted Joe Rogan more.
BUCK: Everybody trusts the neighborhood dogcatcher more than they trust CNN.
CLAY: (laughing) There’s no doubt.
