To CNN President Jeff Zucker:

Networks like CNN are supposed to provide news and information — not give platforms to people who traffic in racism and try to keep journalists in the dark.

Ratings are no reason to hire someone who ran a campaign that consistently violates press freedom and human decency.

We demand that CNN rescind the job offer to Corey Lewandowski.

    Tell CNN to Withdraw Its Job Offer to Corey Lewandowski

    Unreal. CNN just hired Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, as a paid commentator.

    Lewandowski oversaw a campaign rooted in racism, misogyny and other forms of hate.

    It’s appalling that a news network gave this man a job. This is the guy who:

    1. Assaulted a reporter who was trying to ask Trump a question1
    2. Oversaw a campaign that routinely blacklists reporters2
    3. Barricaded the press inside pens during Trump events
