President Donald Trumps campaign apparatus on Tuesday lashed out at CNN for allegedly refusing to air a commercial touting accomplishments made in the presidents first 100 days.
The 30-second ad, which began airing on Monday, praises Trump for the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and for proposing the biggest tax cut plan in history. It also blasts the media, flashing the words FAKE NEWS over the faces of anchors, reporters and broadcasters.
Americans also are far from convinced that Trumps first 100 days have been a success, CNN said. A CNN/ORC poll found that the President reached the milestone with the lowest approval rating of any newly-elected president at this stage amid sharp partisan divides and a failure to capitalize on post-election strengths.
CNN requested that the advertiser remove the false graphic that the mainstream media is fake news, a statement from the network said. The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false and per policy will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted.
