CNN president Jeff Zucker had some fightin’ words for Fox News:
CNN Boss Jeff Zucker Torches Fox News as 'State-Run TV' and 'Pure Propaganda Machine' https://t.co/jcUzJIVdQr pic.twitter.com/F5ltay9UFq

More from The Wrap:
“It is really state-run TV. It is a pure propaganda machine and I think does an incredible disservice to this country,” said Zucker while speaking at the FT Future of News conference in New York City. “There are a handful of really good journalists there, but I think they are lost in what is a complete propaganda machine and the idea that it’s a news channel is really not the case at all.”
Zucker dug the knife in further still, saying Fox News was even worse than the Russian state media organization TASS.
Yeah … OK, pal.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! https://t.co/KLV0T7u8uj

The irony definitely isn’t lost on Dana Loesch:
Ironic, considering this is the network that organized an exploitative townhall that did not foster actual discussion, and cued me to enter an arena, WWE-style, to a Black Eyed Peas song. https://t.co/S4ZvS7PkYY

And as if he couldn’t possibly beclown himself any further, Zucker also said this:
“The last three years have been the best 3 years in the 38 year history of CNN,” he said. “We’ve made CNN relevant again, and it’s part of the national and international conversation.”
CNN is part of the national conversation, all right. Americans across the country are talking about what a colossal joke it’s become.
Remember when CNN broadcast uninterrupted Trump rallies for ratings? https://t.co/uCdd2P8btU
