Trump or his minions should be asking Bernie Sanders to weigh in on this proposition to provide some Social Justice to greedy capitalists like CNN.

This is the same CNN who hid various atrocities by the Saddam Hussein regime in exchange for exclusive access to the Iraqi president. CNN is not easily embarrassed.

No he didn't. CNN is a business. They report the news. The debate is news. Why should they give up the revenue from it?

[PoloSec]

When this initially was proposed I thought CNN would if they did give to charity donate to the likes of Planned Parenthood, as an in your face middle finger, it is good to see Trump would demand the contributions go the Veteran programs.

While I refuse to brag..."

He says, then proceeds to brag.

[Mr. K]

So the Commie-lovers at CNN have no problem being capitalist pigs, do they?

Increasing their ad rates 4000% is so ‘unfair’

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump is definitely the Bomb. LOL!

Point taken; Trump, you imply, is anti-capitalist as is ol' Bern.

Bet CNN loathes the military ala Bill Clinton.

During the first Gulf War, I heard an anecdote about that. A CNN camera crew showed up at a forward position, and asking if there were any dead bodies lying around that they could film. They were reportedly disappointed when they turned out not to be dead Americans.

I was just out of the Marine Corps when that went down. That strongly affected how I saw CNN thereafter.

Real-estate developer Donald Trump wrote a letter to CNN boss Jeff Zucker

Notice the scrupulous omission of "Presidential Candidate" to the title?

It GALLS the Leftists that a businessman - an EEEEEvil Capitalist - is even in contention.

I thought Marxists didn’t like money. What happened to CNN?

[dennisw]

The Trumpster out bragging again...hahhhahha I love it. I love the way he put this one over on CNN

[Resettozero]

That would sour Zucker’s milkshake.

[JennysCool]

It’s called humor. Get to know it.

[Paladin2]

Not so much that Trump is anti-capitalist, but that Left Wing Crony Capitalists like CNN need to be lined up to be called out by real socialists. It’d be funny.....(and a great negotiation card to play)

My observation is that liberals are much more hung up on/addicted to the material things in life so are more greedy, more money grubbing and more money hungry. They put on a good facade though!!!

Some do walk the walk but the words "limousine liberal" exist for a reason

It’s called humor. Get to know it.

Is it?

[Paladin2]

Trump makes coverage of the “horse race”, typically at this early stage unimportant to most but the media looking to sell stuff, so entertaining that I’m becoming riveted to watching. So much the better if some of the (evil to me) players end up with real injuries.

[uncitizen]

Boycott the CNN advertisers unless CNN donates profits to charity.

Milquetoasts and wallflowers don’t make good presidents.
