CNN’s Jeff Zucker has gone on the offensive defending against President Donald Trump’s attacks of being “very fake news,” saying the aggressive anti-Trump agenda only serves to boost his employees’ morale and they wear it as “a badge of honor.”

Zucker’s remarks to Politico came just as Trump had wrapped up a heated press conference Thursday, during which he sparred with the network’s Jim Acosta.

Acosta’s bout with Trump related to the freshly-elected president having branded CNN as “fake news.” Trump actually only ended up telling the CNN host: “I’m changing it from ‘fake news’ to ‘very fake news’.”

Zucker, the channel’s head, however, did not look too dissatisfied with such a poor endorsement.

“They wear those insults as a badge of honor, because it means they are doing their jobs,” Zucker told Politico. “I would say that morale is incredibly high … They are not being intimidated, they are not backing down, they know they have my full support and it is a very exciting time, frankly, to be a journalist at CNN.”

Zucker went on to say that the only downside to working for CNN at the moment is sheer worker exhaustion from all the overtime journalists and reporters have been putting in to hold the president of their country to account.

“The pace has been nonstop, and it has not let up.”
