Networks Refuse To Air Donald Trumps Fake News Ad

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/networks-refuse-to-air-trumps-fake-news-ad-against-them_us_590df3e5e4b0104c734f64f6?d1w&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

Turns out inaccurately calling mainstream media “fake” is against advertising guidelines.

Major networks including CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC are refusing to air a Donald Trump 2020 campaign ad that attacks mainstream media.

The 30-second spot focuses on the president’s first 100 days in office, touting his confirmation of Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch as well as pushing forth of the Keystone Pipeline construction and slashing regulations. “You wouldn’t know it from watching the news,” a voiceover says.

It also notably features the words “fake news,” a phrase Trump often uses to undermine reporting with which he disagrees, over the faces of well-known journalists such as Rachel Maddow of MSNBC and George Stephanopoulos of ABC. CNN was the first network to nix the ad, according to The Wrap.


It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
