'That's hilarious'! CNN president's memo to staff proves either a total lack of self-awareness or that he doesn't watch CNN

Anybody who pays attention to what happens on CNN and what’s said by reporters and commentators who work there should put down any beverages before proceeding. Ready, here goes:

“We do not strive to be the story. We are here to cover the story.“ — Jeff Zucker in a memo to CNN staff today

Exactly.

Yowza! Seriously?

That's hilarious.

It really is.

Your lead media reporter and Sunday show host literally compared a dropped CNN camera to a murdered African American in police custody yesterday. https://t.co/KdyWsBWbGs

Remember this from yesterday?

"When a CNN camera hit the ground, America saw the world through George Floyd’s eyes," @PhilipKennicott writes https://t.co/o66wlYMj6p

Maybe Jeff Zucker doesn’t pay attention to any of the people in CNN’s employ.

When self awareness has clearly failed. https://t.co/RBfyKOW3Rs

Jeff Zucker has apparently never watched CNN https://t.co/DID6LtE0TJ

Perhaps he’s among those at CNN who diligently watch Fox News.

How hard do you think Jim Acosta laughed at this memo? https://t.co/MXY7cOPBdf

If Zucker ever truly implemented this Acosta, Cillizza, Stelter, Cuomo & 99% of CNN would strike.

tell that to Acosta and Stelter.

They’d agree, which would make it even more hysterical.
