CNN is refusing to air Trump's 100 day ad because it references "Fake News".
If that part is removed they will be happy to run the rest of the bullshit ad

Go ahead and lie - just don't lie about us

Plus - they aired his recent nazi rally in its entirety - at no cost to Trump

1. "No better than Trump?"

Not so sure about that based on reasons stated.

[Sculpin Beauregard]

2. So, you would rather they run the ad?

The lying, poisonous, piece of shit ad? Why should we have to watch Cheetos propaganda? The less networks that run it, the better.

3. +1,000 n/t

5. I agree! CNN finally has enough of the tRUMPS garbage at least when it comes to his

bullshit propaganda ad. They could have taken the money to run it. I am glad they did not.

7. let me re-read my post...

nope - nothing there that says i want the ad to run anywhere

Like Trump CNN doesn't like to have it's feelings hurt

other than that they are willing to run the - what i called - bullshit ad

[titaniumsalute]

4. I run a radio station

If someone wanted to run an ad saying that the music on my station sucked I'd tell them to fuck off. So...I don't agree with you.

[lame54]

8. and you'd be right...

but if the rest of the ad lied in other ways - you'd be wrong if you were willing to run it as long as they didn't criticize your station

[titaniumsalute]

21. Well it depends

Frankly in most cases we don't know if an ad is lying or not.

For example, a big car dealership here used to have an owner who would pontificate his political thoughts in his commercials. While I didn't agree with him I ran them. Who am I to be the thought police?

Legally we can turn away any commercial.

6. CNN has its share of problems, but no. Absolutely not.

Nothing is worse than Trump.

Nothing.

10. did you see his commercial free rally that ran on CNN the other night?

11. Like I said, CNN isn't beyond reproach.

But I'd rather spend our energy against Trump at this point.

Picking minor battles against the media for trainwreck TV isn't my top priority.

[lame54]

12. you're gonna have a hard time with that until you realize...

Trump's big mouth and CNN's free air time go hand in hand

CNN is being praised for it's stand - but a closer look will show them to be completely disingenuous
they're only looking out for themselves

for a while they were kicking ass and taking names - now they slipping back into dictation mode

19. CNN is THE biggest reason he got elected.

Media sources seen as liberal or mainstream normalizing 45 or amplifying demonization of Hillary are THE main reason America is in this mess.


Bannon's main enemies (and 45's) are CNN and the NYT. Because they have enormous ability to influence half of America.

Read the NYT story on Zucker (CNN CEO).

If you want to get this president weakened or out, your goal should be to lobby CNN and protest Fox and conservative hate radio.

[Squinch]

9. To say that anyone is "no better than Trump" is to normalize Trump. It's not a good idea.

[lame54]

14. changed title...

seems my hyperbole was drowning out my message

[Squinch]

18. I'm impressed - no kidding. And now I can agree with you.

[Eko]

13. Uhhhhh

no. Just no. CNN is not trying to take healthcare away from millions and make it worse for millions more. CNN is not exploding the debt, there are countless other things I can say but you get the drift.

[lame54]

15. I admit - I fucked up...

I changed the title

[Eko]

17. Ha!

They are doing what a business does though. Thanks!

[kentuck]

16. It was rumored early in Trump's campaign that....

...what he really wanted was a conservative network of his own. It looks closer to reality.

[sharedvalues]

20. CNN got this president elected. Check out this video

CNN is pursuing profits. They normalized the president and amplified his message.
