Project Veritas tapes reveal CNN chief Zucker calling shots for anti-Trump network's coverage, setting companywide political agenda

Leaked audiotapes of CNN's 9 a.m. editorial calls published by Project Veritas reveal CNN President Jeff Zucker and other top executives and reporters at the network say in private what their coverage suggests: CNN's editorial viewpoint is anti-Trump and directed from the top down by Zucker. 

The audiotapes were obtained and released by self-styled "guerrilla journalist" James O'Keefe, who on Tuesday morning announced that Project Veritas had been secretly recording CNN's morning call with Zucker for two months and would soon begin releasing the tapes. O'Keefe made his announcement while livestreaming CNN's Tuesday call, at one point interrupting the call to inform Zucker of what he'd done and ask for comment. 

"This is yet another investigation Project Veritas has conducted into CNN, and once again they've demonstrated their partisan political agenda and total disconnect with journalistic ethics," O'Keefe said.

In response, CNN communications said that the company has referred O'Keefe's video to law enforcement, tweeting that "legal experts" say he may have committed a felony.
