CNN’s CEO batted down more criticism on Monday that his network helped contribute to the political ascent of Donald Trump, even as his organization continues to offer lopsided coverage that favors the casino tycoon more than any other 2016 presidential candidate.

“We are covering the story, and he’s been the Republican front-runner for almost a year now,” Jeff Zucker said this weekend. “I only wish that CNN had that much power to be able to create a front-runner on either side.”
