Late-night comedians CAMPAIGN for Trump's 'dishonest media' awards

~ Last week, President Trump tweeted that he would be announcing 'THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR' on Monday

~ Almost immediately, late-night comedians started making fun of the awards by running for them

~ Stephen Colbert took out a billboard in New York City, while Trevor Noah bought a full page ad in the New York Times

~ The ads mimic the ones Hollywood studios put out around awards season for prestige films and TV shows

~ The awards have since been pushed back to Wednesday

"Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah and Samantha Bee are competing to win big at President Trump's fake news awards.

Last week, the president tweeted that he would be announcing the 'MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR' on Monday.

He later pushed the awards back to Wednesday, citing high interest.

Trump's goal to shame the media is being taken in stride by three late-night comedians, who have launched expensive media campaigns to win at the awards."
