Monday’s tweetstorm was just the latest salvo in a year-long anti-media campaign by Trump. <\/span>7 out of Trump’s 15 tweets in last 24 hours have been about CNN observed Journalist Justin Green of Independent Journal and called his complaints “exhausting” in a tweet on Monday<\/strong>.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Accusations of Media bias tend to rally Trump supporters to his side but the anti-media messaging, could affect his other general campaign themes. Donald Trump\u2019s irritability with CNN has been going on for months, though it was the only channel to employ pro trump analysts including his former campaign manager amongst the Top three Cable News Channel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What got the Presidential Nominee<\/strong> peeved to go on an uncommonly lengthy, anti-CNN rant on twitter on Monday? <\/span>The tweets came quite aggressive , just a couple of hours before CNN was due to release the results of a new national poll<\/span>. Was it his attempt to discredit the poll results of CNN or the foreknowledge of the post convention polls<\/strong>, which declared Hillary leading Trump by 8 Points or the Coverage of Khan\u2019s?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He<\/span> did not complain about anything specific, not of CNN reporting nor did he object to any particular comment its anchors could have made on air. If it\u2019s the Khan\u2019s coverage, then he has picked an odd time. We know he was tweeting about the Khans appearance on CNN while on AIR. <\/span>Patricia Smith, the mother of an American killed in Benghazi, was blaming Clinton on air and she felt, Mr. Trump shouldn\u2019t feel compelled to Apologize to Khans. Smiths Interview did not alter his thinking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“CNN anchors are completely out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, failing schools and vanishing jobs,<\/strong>” he wrote. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though CNN and other news channels have covered border issues in depth for years, he sarcastically commented if CNN would “send its cameras to the border to show the massive unreported crisis now unfolding — or are they worried it will hurt Hillary<\/strong>?” <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CNN like other channels had previously published numerous investigations into Clinton controversies, including the family foundation, links between donors and State Department activities. But he tweeted : “When will we see stories from CNN on Clinton Foundation corruption and Hillary’s pay-for-play at State Department<\/strong>?”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“You look at CNN,” he said. “It’s called the Clinton News Network. All day long: ‘Trump, Trump.’ All day long, CNN: ‘Trump, Trump, Trump, such a bad guy<\/strong>.’ I just want to bring back your jobs. I want to bring back your safety.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He denounced the cable network by a series of tweets as <\/span>\u201cCNN will soon be the least trusted name in news if they continue to be the press shop for Hillary Clinton<\/strong>,” Trump began, adding, “CNN anchors are completely out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, failing schools and vanishing jobs. The people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or headline fundraisers – those disconnected from real life<\/strong>.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“People believe CNN these days almost as little as they believe Hillary….that’s really saying something<\/strong>!” Trump wrote.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trump<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>tweeted<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on <\/span>June 27: “.@CNN is all negative when it comes to me,I don’t watch it anymore.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
