Donald Trumps presidential campaign is revisiting a cherished pastime, picking a fight with the fake news station CNN.
On Tuesday morning, the presidents campaign blasted out an email denouncing CNN for refusing to run a Trump advertisement on the presidents first 100 days in office a mark Trump hit on April 29. FAKE NEWS STATION REFUSES TO RUN AD HIGHLIGHTING THE PRESIDENT'S FIRST 100 DAYS, the email read.
It is absolutely shameful to see the media blocking the positive message that President Trump is trying to share with the country, Michael Glassner, the Trump campaigns executive director, said in a statement. It's clear that CNN is trying to silence our voice and censor our free speech because it doesn't fit their narrative."
CNN responded to the accusation of censorship by explaining that the advertisement was refused because the campaign inaccurately claimed the mainstream media was fake news, and CNN has a policy against running factually inaccurate ads.
