CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS all ban Trump's new campaign ad [View all]

Trump’s 2020 campaign arm put out a new ad on Monday. The ad praised Trump for his accomplishments in his first 100 days. But a lot of good that does him when mainstream media refuses to even air the ad.

CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS have now all rejected Trump’s campaign ad.

The networks have banned the ad because it states things that simply are not true. The biggest problem they have with the ad is that it labels the media as “fake news.”

CNN said: “The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false. Per our policy, it will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted. Those are the facts.”
