#NotInvestigators: CNN Head Thumb In Charge Jeff Zucker Admits "We're Not Investigators" (So That's Why We Blew the Russia Hoax Story)

Wow, I really screwed up. This old post should have come before the last one, or should have been merged with it.

Oh well.

I'm officially phoning it in. I did a solid 30, 40 minutes of work today. I can coast.

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

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.

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

They should be made mock of.

Here's something newish -- Tim Pool talks about CNN's and MSNBC's post-Mueller ratings collapse.

Skip to 9:30 to hear him talking about MSNBC and CNN being desperate to create a new exciting plotline to keep its viewers hooked.
