In this election CNN are giving Trump extreme exposure even when he lying his teeth out. Like this one

Trump, without evidence, claims he 'saved' Miss Universe's job

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/29/politics/donald-trump-miss-australia-machado/index.html

"
Donald Trump is claiming he saved the job of a former Miss Universe winner as another pageant contestant came forward to charge the Republican presidential candidate had made derogatory comments about her appearance.

Trump launched a new defense of himself Wednesday against attacks that he was verbally abusive to Alicia Machado, the Miss Universe who had charged he called her "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping."
Trump, who owned the pageant at the time.."

But CNN cannot publish a Trump story from an esteemed journalist

GOP points on #TrumpInCuba. Clinton campaign had nothing 2 do w/ story. Spending $ to explore biz opportunities in Cuba is a crime.

It's very similar to how he and his campaign describe Hillary and her campaign meadowlark5 Sep 2016 #37

Constant projection. Like the eminently jailable Christie saying "lock her up". Mc Mike Sep 2016 #40
