CNN and other outlets are in Donald Trump's 'crosshairs': WarnerMedia CEO

President Donald Trump doesn’t just have a vendetta against CNN — he has one against all media outlets that publish coverage he dislikes, says John Stankey, who oversees CNN in his role as WarnerMedia CEO.

“I wouldn't say that CNN per se is exclusively in the president's crosshairs,” he says.
”I would actually say that media that doesn't subscribe to the president's narrative is in the president's crosshairs.”

Stankey said the prevalence of misinformation in the current news environment has made the job of reporters more difficult than at any time in at least the past decade.

“It's a tough environment ascertaining what, in fact, are the facts,” he says. “I would say it's far more complicated than it ever has been 10 years ago.”

Elected officials are spewing utter bullshit and the media is too much of a coward to call it what it is. There’s nothing complicate about the solution. Grow a spine and do your effing job.

Fiduciary Responsibility. It's an excuse to ignore all common decency and responsibility.
