What CNN Just Did To Trump Is Disgusting And Unforgivable Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump was vocal about his beliefs that his mainstream media was attempting to rig the election in Hillary Clintons favor. It is clear that major stations, like CNN, tried to portray Trump as a heartless villain. If you want a clear example of CNNs manipulation, check out this recent segment that a viewer captured. Conservative Tribune posted the footage, featuring Don Lemon and his co-hosts discussing how if Trump ditched the media as some are proposing, there would be no one present to get footage of an assassination attempt against him. As they made these outrageous claims, they even played a video of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Conversations like this arent just biasedtheyre dangerous. It is incomprehensively irresponsible for a news outlet to suggest an assassination on anyone. As Conservative Tribune notes, CNN could have made their case without making a reference to, or showing footage of, a former president being shot. This is particularly disturbing given that Trump has had several death threats against him already.
