It's not just CNN: Now ABC, CBS and NBC all refuse to run Trump re-election campaign ad that blasts them as 'FAKE NEWS'

    President Trump's 2020 reelection campaign is blasting 'biased' CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC for refusing to run Trump's first re-election ad
    The ad includes five TV news anchors and personalities as it blasts 'fake news'
    CNN pushed back at the 'false graphic' as says 'the mainstream media is not 'fake news'
    The campaign planned to put $1.5 million behind the 30-second ad
    Instead the publicity will drive millions of eyeballs to see it, free of charge

Donald Trump's ongoing feud with TV networks not named 'Fox News' has clicked into a new gear as ABC, CBS and NBC have all joined CNN in refusing to run an ad from the president's re-election campaign committee.

The ad shows hosts from all four networks under a banner that reads 'FAKE NEWS.'

It's the Trump campaign's first commercial since winning the White House, and although it is three years out from the next election, it declares the nation has 'rarely seen such success.'

The ad blasts the 'fake news' media for failing to see things that way – and includes CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Also included are MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Andrea Mitchell, CBS's Scott Pelley and ABC's George Stephanopoulos in its rogues gallery.

Nowhere to be found is the right-leaning Fox News Channel, Trump's favorite network.

Being forced to accept advertising demeaning yourself is kind of like being forced to accept customers that violate your values.

By not running it they simply give it more credibility than it would otherwise have, and also give it more publicity.  It'll go gangbusters online now.

I turn the channel when they come on. The little boy needs to grow the hell up and try being president or something.

@Oceander

Trump constantly calls them all kinds of names, including "fake news", and sometimes won't even allow CNN in the room, so why should they accept an ad praising Trump?  Trump wants to shut down every newspaper and every channel and wants a law passed so he can sue all of them.  I wouldn't show it, either.

I'm not saying they should run it; I'm in favor of letting them pick and choose. I'm just pointing out that - if played properly - the group that made the ad can in effect get more exposure because they refused to run the ad than it would have gotten if they had simply run the ad in a low-exposure time slot and just mingled it in with the ads for viagra and cialis.

Boy, this place, this forum, could really hold a niche position. When the WH Briefing Room becomes merely a place for Trump to air his shorts...

Why does Trump need a re-election campaign ad?  He's "winning," isn't he?

Actually its just a couple of posters with one in particular who posts approximately 50 mostly pro Trump articles per day with a smattering of science and medical articles.

Do you need my service - maybe a free psychological exam?  (I didn't get the meaning of your post, either.)  :beer:

   I get it @bigheadfred I like your insight also.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
