NN Senior Producer John Bonifield caught on tape admitting the Trump-Russia story is “bullsh*t” for “ratings.”

Bonified admits CNN CEO Jeff Zucker ordered the network to stop covering the Paris Climate Accords and return focus to Russia?—?despite the knowing lack of evidence.

Bonifield admits CNN’s goal is to “get [Trump] kicked out of office”

Bonifield continues, “I think the President is right to say ‘you are witch hunting me’ You have no smoking gun, you have no proof.”

Bonifield at one point says “Media ethics? Pshhhhhh”

“All the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school you’re just like, that’s adorable. This is a business.”

“They got to do what they got to do to get money.”
