CNN president Jeff Zucker said on Thursday that while Fox News has done "incredibly well" at owning the conservative media space, it's a "pure propaganda machine," per the Hollywood Reporter.
Why it matters: Zucker acknowledged that the station has "a handful of good journalists," but said they're lost to the opinion side of the network. This is a point one of Fox's star anchors, Shepard Smith, has repeatedly made. Fox News is also President Trump's favorite network, who regularly watches the morning show, Fox & Friends, and Sean Hannity's evening program.
