Bernie Sanders Wants Jeff Zucker’s Job as CNN Boss

By Brian Flood 

If Bernie Sanders isn’t the Democratic presidential candidate by the time the general elections rolls around, it appears he has a fallback plan. Unfortunately for Sanders, the job is already occupied by CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker.

During Friday’s Democratic presidential forum on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow asked Sanders what his non-political dream job would be.

“President of CNN,” Sanders answered before elaborating. “If I was president of CNN, trust me, the way media deals with politics would radically change.”

Zucker responded with a simple question, “can he start Monday?”
