Zucker has come out and said that CNN has been 'too liberal' in the past, and that they had to hire Lewandowski because it was important to give someone who supports the Republican nominee a voice on their network.

He has a Trump tweet praising the network framed on his wall.

Bottom line: CNN is not your friend.
