It's On! Trump Takes On 'Fake News' CNN

The fire has not died down between CNN and President Trump.

A CNN story, which has since been retracted, reported that Congress was investigating a “Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials,” citing an unnamed official. Three staffers resigned as a result. Trump responded to the fiasco on Twitter.

Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!

On Tuesday, Project Veritas published an undercover video that purportedly shows a CNN producer criticizing the network for its frequent coverage of any potential collusion between Trump and Russia.

The producer, identified as John Bonifield, was asked whether CNN’s coverage is “bulls***.” He replied, “Could be bulls***, I mean, it’s mostly bulls*** right now.” Bonifield also called the coverage a “witch hunt” done only for ratings.

CNN just posted it’s most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts.

Of course, the president didn’t get to tweet about “fake news” without media chiming in. See their comments below:

This is wrong. 3 employees resigned because they didn’t follow proper protocols for vetting stories. It’s the essence of accountability. https://t.co/AaIHsXAwOz
