On Friday’s Cavuto: Coast to Coast, Media Research Center president Brent Bozell lashed out on the Fox Business Network (FBN) at CNN’s atrocious handling of the Donna Brazile scandal and the media’s collective refusal to report heavily on the WikiLeaks e-mails illustrating a pattern of collusion between reporters and the Clinton campaign.

In light of how CNN head Jeff Zucker largely passed off a vague internal review of how Brazile gave town hall questions to the Clintons, Bozell ruled that he doesn’t “think any Republican should ever go on that network again until this is resolved.”

Host Neil Cavuto explained that not only the Brazile scandal but also CNBC’s John Harwood cozying up to the Clinton campaign through favorable interviews and complimenting them definitely “smells — that’s what comes out the most to me.”

“It validates your worst fears. You have the media that have been clearly, not just in the tank for Hillary Clinton, but on a destroying mission for Donald Trump. There's no question about that. Look at the coverage that we found. 91 percent negative against Trump,” Bozell responded.

Cavuto conceded that “[i]t’s easy to pick apart our competitors and sometimes almost too easy” but yet “when you have so many, and this extends beyond just one individual reporter but a pattern of behavior” that’s “so unsettling here because it produces the type of vanilla coverage that avoids good journalism.”

Bozell then stepped in to point out that the WikiLeaks e-mails from John Podesta’s account “results in a public genuflection to the Clinton campaign that we saw on the CNBC debate that they moderated” that fed into a recent “Rasmussen poll that came out about these moderators by 8 to 1, the American people believe the moderators are doing the bidding of Hillary Clinton and they’re right.”

Turning to Brazile, Bozell slammed her for “[lying] through her teeth...on national television to Megyn Kelly” following the third presidential debate which featured “the religion card and the race card at the same time” amidst her fibbing.

As for Zucker, Bozell unloaded on Zucker’s “completely unacceptable” behavior:

So what did Jeff Zucker do? He announced that they had done an investigation which was now complete. That is so utterly unacceptable. You know, this idea the people’s right to know stops at the water’s edge of journalism. You've got CNN that has violated the public trust. Ever since reporter, even the good ones, has been tarred by this. I don't think anybody could or should ever trust CNN again especially when they leave it at well, well, we’ve investigated it and we are done.

“No, they’ve got to come clean. They’ve got to explain what happened, who did it, and what are the steps to remedy it. Otherwise you can't — I don't think any Republican should ever go on that network again until this is resolved. I really mean that,” Bozell concluded.
