ZUCKER, YOU ARE TOO MUCH, OR NOT ENOUGH.
--------
At SXSW on Saturday, Zucker also said that Fox News is a "propaganda network" that "has done a lot of damage to the political discourse in this country."
CNN president Jeff Zucker thinks that President Donald Trump was motivated by his antipathy toward his network and influenced his Justice Department's lawsuit to stop AT&T's acquisition of parent company Time Warner.
"Do I think there was political motivation in trying to block the deal? I do. And, do I believe it came from the highest parts of government? I do," he said Saturday at the SXSW conference in Austin.
Added Zucker, "There was absolutely no basis for the government doing what they were doing, so clearly there was a political agenda at work and I don't think it takes being a genius to figure out where that comes from."
But, with a judge recently dismissing the government's decision to allow the deal, Zucker said the issue is somewhat "moot."
The CNN head honcho also responded to the Democratic National Committee's decision to bar Fox News from hosting one of the 2020 presidential primary debates.
"I think the consternation about this is a little misplaced," he said. They don't have to give one to CNN. They don't have to give one to MSNBC. There's no obligation to give one to Fox."
