CNN sends Trump campaign cease-and-desist letter for misleading ad

[spanone]

New York (CNN Business) - A lawyer for CNN's parent company WarnerMedia has written a cease-and-desist letter to President Trump's re-election campaign over the misleading contents of a new campaign ad.

WarnerMedia says the Trump ad is misusing CNN news coverage in a way that's "false, misleading and deceptive."

In response to a request for comment from CNN Business, the campaign claimed that the ad is accurate and attacked the network's editorial decisions.

The Trump ad, titled "American Comeback," was introduced on Sunday night. The campaign says it is spending "mid-seven figures," at least several million dollars, to run the ad on cable and broadcast channels.

1. An "American Comeback?" By the Trump Campaign? How about the Titanic? Free Ice in Every Room.

R you kidding me? We are looking 100s of thousands of dead, another depression,
and a criminal take over of the White House/Courts/DOJ and they are pushing an
"American Comeback?"

This is the biggest fuck up in American history. End of story.

The Trump administration projects about 3,000 daily deaths by early June.
As President Trump presses for states to reopen their economies, his administration is privately projecting a steady rise in the number of cases and deaths from the coronavirus over the next several weeks, reaching about 3,000 daily deaths on June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times, nearly double from the current level of about 1,750.

The projections, based on government modeling pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forecast about 200,000 new cases each day by the end of the month, up from about 25,000 cases now.

The numbers underscore a sobering reality: While the United States has been hunkered down for the past seven weeks, not much has changed. And the reopening to the economy will make matters worse.

“There remains a large number of counties whose burden continues to grow,” the C.D.C. warned.

Trump should lose every state by double digits if we have any kind of fair election. We are really fucked.
