President Donald Trump ran afoul of CNN's communications team and billionaire investor Mark Cuban with his latest round of derisive early morning tweets posted Sunday.

Trump went after CNN, one of his favorite targets, calling the network "FAKE NEWS" and accusing it of cutting off Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for using the same phrase. CNN's communications team responded by posting a transcript of Erin Burnett's interview with Sanders.

"He was not cut off," CNN responded. "Those are the facts."

The network previously used the phrase "those are the facts," apparently a new hallmark of its official statements contradicting the Trump administration, in response to White House claims that CNN retracted concerns about top adviser Kellyanne Conway's credibility. It also used the phrase with regard to Trump's incorrect claim that CNN's Chris Cuomo failed to question Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) on his military record.

1. "Those are the facts" are becoming CNN's trademark phrase.

They should use that as a header on all their news shows. And then follow through.

It reminds me of that newscaster's famous response: "Polls. All of them."
