On Tuesday millions of Americans cheered when they watched President-Elect Donald Trump slam CNN when he told obnoxious and rude CNN reporter James Acosta: “YOU ARE FAKE NEWS.”
This was after CNN promoted an outrageous smear of Donald Trump with alleged hookers in Russia – a fake story 4Chan users planted in the media.
On Wednesday President-Elect Trump doubled down on his criticisms of dishonest CNN, this time over Twitter.
Trump Tweeted: “@CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone!”

This was not the first time Trump has lashed out at the anti-Trump network CNN.
.@CNN is all negative when it comes to me. I don’t watch it anymore.

Russians are playing @CNN and @NBCNews for such fools – funny to watch, they don’t have a clue! @FoxNews totally gets it!

Just watched @NBCNightlyNews – So biased, inaccurate and bad, point after point. Just can’t get much worse, although @CNN is right up there!

Reports by @CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are ridiculous & untrue – FAKE NEWS!

I thought that @CNN would get better after they failed so badly in their support of Hillary Clinton however, since election, they are worse!

.@CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don’t know what to do.

“@JoeBowman12: @jeffzeleny just another generic CNN part time wannabe journalist !” @CNN still doesn’t get it. They will never learn!

“@HighonHillcrest: @jeffzeleny what PROOF do u have DonaldTrump did not suffer from millions of FRAUD votes? Journalist? Do your job! @CNN“
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2016
Wow, @CNN Town Hall questions were given to Crooked Hillary Clinton in advance of big debates against Bernie Sanders. Hillary & CNN FRAUD!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016
Wow, @CNN got caught fixing their “focus group” in order to make Crooked Hillary look better. Really pathetic and totally dishonest!

CNN is the worst – fortunately they have bad ratings because everyone knows they are biased. https://t.co/oFRfNY2rUY

CNN thinks because Trump disses them he disses all media. No CNN, you are fringe #FakeNews, not all media.

LOL... I agree
Great post!!
Thanks.
It’s nice to laugh again! The media lightweights have no chance against Trump!
These cable news channels don’t get it. All Trump has to do is push through a bill requiring cable and satellite companies to offer a la carte subscriptions and their done. They are on thin ice.
Really? Has that been discussed already? (I don’t have cable.)
A pen and a phone, right Barry?
And it’s way past time to go Cable Al la carte.
The sooner the better.
PRICELESS!
WHOOO HOO!
CNN: comically nonsensical “news”
Actually, I think of the Washington Post first, then CNN, when I hear fake news.
James is right! President Elect Trump is magnificent!
I wanna win some more please!
Trump should immediately order dropping CNN broadcast subscriptions in all federal buildings and agencies.
With a Twitter audience of almost 20 million, Trump beats the combined circulation of 10 of the top newspapers in the country.
You know, I’ve never seen Wolfie without his makeup for tv before. I’ve been wondering if I could adopt him as a pet if CNN closes down. I think some of them will find homes elsewhere. But no one will want little Wulf and he just doesn’t have what it takes to make it on the streets as a stray (see Jeopardy, Celebrity edition). So if no one else takes him, I will. Wonder if he bites. Willing to crate train him.
