As Twitchy reported earlier today, CNN President Jeff Zucker defended the way CNN covered the Trump/Russia investigation by claiming they’re not investigators, they’re reporters and just cover the facts they are basically given.
Yeah.
And it was Brian Stelter who was good enough to share his quote and the story so Tim Pool reached out to Bri and gave CNN mad props … sorta.
Wow. Good on CNN for just coming right out and admitting it.
They don't investigate.
This is what I have been saying, they basically just read press releases and tweets https://t.co/qhBgq1xALU

Let’s hear it for some honesty from CNN finally!
And yeah, something like that.
Tim, you're insulting hundreds of hard working journalists. The meaning of the Zucker quote is obvious: He's contrasting federal investigators, who were charged with investigating Russia's 2016 attack, with journalists who were COVERING the federal investigation.

Poor Tater … err … Brian.
YOU’RE INSULTING HUNDREDS OF HARD-WORKING JOURNALISTS.
This guy. *smh*
Tim piled on a bit more ‘adoration’:
Didn't you guys axe your investigative unit years ago?
After Covington I would have to disagree. Random Twitter users had the story right before CNN did.

They are being sued by Nick Sandmann’s family …
Oof.
I agree with you about Twitter and journalists. But the people at CNN have had a hard go at doing very little leg work on huge stories.
Maybe it would be more apt to say they may be doing very hard work but very much in the wrong direction

Double oof.
As a Liberal I am a big fan of @brianstelter but even I know that he lied to the American people for 2 years. All we want is an apology and a promise to be better at what he does.

Is there such a thing as a triple oof? Because if so … TRIPLE OOF.
@Timcast– You KNOW you have arrived when a commentator from @CNN @brianstelter takes the time to comment on your tweet. You & your reporting have been a tall glass of water in this media frenzy. Thank you for your efforts to deliver sound news to us.

Maybe instead of snapping at Tim ol’ Bri should take a moment and learn a thing or two from him.
Yeah, and maybe monkeys will fly out of our butts.
