CNN Advocates for Progessive Democrats : Journalism iS Dead!

Jeff Zucker believes Journalism is dead.

If there every was a statement that identifies who and what the progressive socialist liberal democrats are, and the state of journalism in America today, this is it.

According to Mr Zucker statement, he has to believe journalism, seeking and speaking truth to power, is a dead profession. It seems network news' job today is advocacy of a certain political position, not whether the public is informed with facts of a situation but only information Mr Zucker believes will protect his and his parties ideology.

If someone is looking for news of the day to help make informed decisions, do not tune into the lettered channels on television, as corruption of integrity is the rule of the day and therefore these channels cannot be trusted as information sources.

CNN Boss Says Network Won't Be 'Shamed' Into Covering Benghazi Committee

Two weeks after the House voted to establish a select committee to investigate Benghazi, Democrats relented and agreed to name five members to the panel. The story even got coverage on CNN, which is news in and of itself.

At a dinner with journalists in New York earlier this week, CNN’s president indicated the TV network wouldn’t cover the Benghazi committee unless it was “of real news value.”
“We’re not going to be shamed into it by others who have political beliefs that want to try to have temper tantrums to shame other news organizations into covering something,” CNN’s Jeff Zucker said in response to a question about the Benghazi probe. “If it’s of real news value, we’ll cover it.”
At the dinner, Zucker defended CNN’s non-stop coverage of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet. He also suggested climate change was “one of those stories that deserves more attention.”

On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, Democrats considered ignoring the House’s Benghazi investigation altogether. But yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., named five Democrats to join seven Republicans on the committee, which will look into the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the United States’ diplomatic facility that left four Americans, including Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, dead.

One of the newly appointed Democrats, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, called on the committee to “be finders of the facts. I think we have to go in neutral. I don’t think we need be making accusations before we get in the room to get the facts.”

Yet, Cummings—ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has investigated Benghazi—has been an outspoken defender of the Obama administration’s handling of Benghazi. The Daily Caller’s Alex Pappas documented five examples, including Cummings’ comment on May 2 when Republicans announced the committee:

These actions are not a responsible approach to congressional oversight, they continue a trend of generating unnecessary conflict for the sake of publicity, and they are shockingly disrespectful to the secretary of state.

In addition to Cummings, Pelosi tapped Reps. Adam Smith of Washington, Adam Schiff and Linda Sánchez of California, and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois.
Republicans selected Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina to lead the Benghazi panel with the following GOP members: Reps. Susan Brooks of Indiana, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mike Pompeo of Kansas, Martha Roby of Alabama, Peter Roskam of Illinois and Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia.
