President Trumps reelection campaign saidTuesdaythat CNN has denied its offer to buy air time for a campaign ad, marking the second time the network has refused to run a pro-Trump campaign spot. <\/p>\n
The ad, called Let President Trump Do His Job, accuses the media of attacking our president and briefly displays pictures of news anchors from several news outlets, including CNN anchors Jake Tapper, Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper. <\/p>\n
The presidents enemies dont want him to succeed, the ad states. Let President Trump do his job. <\/p>\n
The ad alsotouts U.S. economic growth, the stock market, jobs figures and military strength, while accusing Democrats of obstruction. <\/p>\n
One of the many reasons that so many millions of Americans support President Trump is because of their complete mistrust of the mainstream news media, and the presidents refusal to allow their biased filter to interfere with his messages, Trump campaign executive director Michael Glassner said in a statement. <\/p>\n
Today, CNN provided further proof that the network earns this mistrust every day by censoring President Trumps message to the American people by blocking our paid campaign ad, he continued. Clearly, the only viewpoint CNN allows on air is CNNS. <\/p>\n
CNN did not respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n
Earlier this year, CNN refused to run a Trump campaign ad because it cast the mainstream media as fake news. <\/p>\n
Trump and CNN are locked in an increasingly personal feud that has pitted the White House against the networks top on-air talent. <\/p>\n
CNNs chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta has gained prominencefor his entrenched opposition to Trump. <\/p>\n
Acosta has infuriated conservatives, who view him as a grandstander whose chief goal is buildinghis personal brand through viral clips of heated exchanges with White House spokespeople. <\/p>\n
At a press conferenceon Monday, Acosta, who was representing the media through the press pool, shouted a question at Trump, who responded: Youre fake news. <\/p>\n
Havent you spread a lot of fake news yourself, sir?Acosta shot back. <\/p>\n
CNN has run its own ads with footage of anchors lecturing White House officials and talking about whether Trump will be impeached. <\/p>\n
The network has attracted criticism for its relentless hostility toward the president. A Harvard study found that CNNs coverage of Trump was negative 93 percent of the time over the course of his first 100 days in office. <\/p>\n
CNN's ratings are up, although the networkstill trails rivals Fox News and MSNBC. <\/p>\n
