FULL HEADLINE: "It's not just CNN: Now ABC, CBS and NBC all refuse to run Trump re-election campaign ad that blasts them as 'FAKE NEWS'"

President Trump's 2020 reelection campaign is blasting 'biased' CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC for refusing to run Trump's first re-election ad The ad includes five TV news anchors and personalities as it blasts 'fake news' CNN pushed back at the 'false graphic' as says 'the mainstream media is not 'fake news' The campaign planned to put $1.5 million behind the 30-second ad Instead the publicity will drive millions of eyeballs to see it, free of charge Donald Trump's ongoing feud with TV networks not named 'Fox News' has clicked into a new gear as ABC, CBS and NBC have all joined CNN in refusing to run an ad from the president's re-election campaign committee. The ad shows hosts from all four networks under a banner that reads 'FAKE NEWS.' It's the Trump campaign's first commercial since winning the White House, and although it is three years out from the next election, it declares the nation has 'rarely seen such success.' The ad blasts the 'fake news' media for failing to see things that way – and includes CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Also included are MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Andrea Mitchell, CBS's Scott Pelley and ABC's George Stephanopoulos in its rogues gallery.

Most of the owners may be what you say. Nothing in that would prevent a Conservative holder of Disney stock--holding as a money making investment, not because of supporting Disney anti-family activities'--filing a derivative action, such as I suggest in #99, and making the Leftist management respond in damages.

Now even if they have liability insurance that will reimburse them, this time, their rates for the future will certainly go up--even as their revenues go down, because of the anti-public, anti-investment lunacy.

He was seriously going to run an ad just shy of four years before the next election? He’s yanking their chain, and they continue to rise to the bait.

Ok, so maybe he can claim he’s a homo and a judge will award him a million a week until the networks comply.

Some good points and WHY stockholders have not taken action is a decades old surprise to me. Are they scared for their own physical well being? Do they not want to spend the money? Are they scared of being counter sued? Are they uber liberals themselves?

I don’t know. I do know all this Liberal media power in the alphabet networks exists only because of the liberal stockholders.................e.g. Comcast..............the biggest of all.

It’s understandable, as self-protection, that networks would refuse to run ads that criticize them.

To #1. Re “The Trumpster is living rent free in the heads of FAKE NEWS”, I hope he takes a dump in it just to fill in the few empty spaces left that their leftist BS brain mush hasn’t spread to.

TRUMPSTER, LIVING RENT FREE IN THE MEDIA’S MIND DUMPSTER!

I like that thought!

CNN was the first to take a pass on airing the ad, a move that generated news stories and publicity – and drove millions of eyeballs to the 30-second spot without costing the campaign a cent.

This man is a genius! LOL!!!

The ad was bait; FAKE NEWS snapped at it. Now the ads will play for free all over the WWW.

Exactly! I just posted, he is a genius! Now the controversy will draw attention to the ad, resulting in more views, free of charge to him...

He is a real genius puppet master.

We are going to have to carve some more rock for President Reagan and President Trump. (IIRC, President Reagan wanted Donald to run for president some day.)

“Equal time” always ended up as:

1. Free air time for Democrats.
2. Free air time for Democrats and a token ‘Republican’ who was pre-scripted to be the patsy.
3. Free air time for the craziest person whose philosophy could even vaguely be considered or conflated to on the “right” - actual Nazis, KKK members, that sort of thing so Democrats could have their time without effective sane opposition.
4. More free air time for Democrats and actual Republican content somehow never gets on the air.

In other words, it accomplished the opposite of what was claimed and it made even conservative-leaning media outlets have to carry loonie leftist crap.

Google “Fairness Doctrine Failure.” It is a good thing that the Fairness Doctrine was taken out back and shot a number of years ago.

Yeah, you maybe should look into increasing your range and discernment - because more and more these days, the responsible parties *aren’t* local to you and you’d just be abusing some poor local who had no say in the decision making and has no power to change it.

My range and discernment is local, well since July 2012 or so when I cut SatTVee. I have watched these local affiliate yahoo's spew the same filth that is spewed on the main Networks. They do it with glee, much like any propaganda system that I have seen over the last 50 years. There are NO innocents here. Do you know of 'locals' that don't speak the same propaganda? Unless you are talking of forming ranks? You aren't getting at those National people otherwise. Now, if our federales want to crack their skulls, I will sit here and cheer them on. I'm a Constitutionalist first but they have one and all abused their place in our society for as long as I can remember. They all deserve the wrath that's coming!

It’s obvious that the media has become a dangerous fifth column to the Republic.

More evidence of the MSM committing suicide

Suicide by twitter, citizen journalists and all of social media.
