'Everyone hates writing about Trump every day': CNN satellite technician turned whistleblower claims network is 'obsessed' with Trump and Jeff Zucker has 'personal vendetta' against him as he shares secret tapes of staffers complaining about it
"A satellite uplink technician who has worked at CNN for two years has turned whistleblower to accuse the network of operating on a deeply-embedded biased against President Donald Trump which is led by its Jeff Zucker.
"Cary Poarch gave an interview to Project Veritas along with secretly recorded video tapes from inside CNN's Washington bureau which he says proves his claim that the company, and Zucker, are 'obsessed' with bringing the president down.
"Among the 'evidence' that he presented are recordings of Zucker's 9am rundown calls with senior producers and editors where he is heard ordering them to focus on impeachment stories above other political ones.
"Poarch also recorded multiple media coordinators who described frustration at having to follow Zucker's commands. "
"One said that people at the network 'hated' having to almost exclusively write about Trump but that they had to follow the boss's orders.
"The secretly recorded tapes are all of media coordinators or floor planners. None of the network's journalists are filmed.
"CNN has not yet responded to his claims.
" 'I hate how everything at the company is now all Trump all the time. Everyone at the company complains about it. They hate covering Trump every day,' Christian Sierra, a media coordinator at the company, is filmed saying.
"Nick Neville, another 'media coordinator', is filmed saying: 'To a certain extent, CNN created Trump's celebrity. They created this whole, like, not his celebrity but created his candidacy, made him legitimate because they felt like they needed to show everything he did from the beginning.
" 'Jeff Zucker can't really complain, he kind of put this in action.'
"When asked why, he said: 'Ratings!' " . . .
