CNN hit back at President Trump after he lashed out at the network in a tweet early Tuesday.
Trump claimed the network makes potential employees say they are anti-Trump before they are hired, and CNN president Jeff Zucker’s job is on the line. Trump misspelled Zucker’s name in the attack.
Check out the fact that you can’t get a job at ratings challenged @CNN unless you state that you are totally anti-Trump? Little Jeff Zuker, whose job is in jeopardy, is not having much fun lately. They should clean up and strengthen CNN and get back to honest reporting!

CNN came back at Trump with a fact-check.
“Once again, false. The personal political beliefs of CNN’s employees are of no interest to us,” CNN’s communications Twitter account responded. “Their pursuit of the truth is our only concern. Also, Jeff’s last name is spelled Z-U-C-K-E-R. Those are facts.”

Trump has amped up his attacks on the media in recent days, taking to Twitter in the early mornings to spout off against the “dishonest” news networks.
