CNN declines to air Trump 2020 ad pushing Biden-Ukraine connection

CNN has declined to air a Trump campaign ad that attempts to highlight Joe Biden and his son Hunter's connections to Ukraine. The 30-second video, titled "Biden Corruption," seeks to highlight the former vice president's role in getting Viktor Shokin, the top Ukrainian prosecutor, fired around the time he was investigating Hunter's company for corruption. Neither Biden has been implicated in any illegal activities or wrongdoing. “Joe Biden promised Ukraine $1 billion if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son’s company,” the narrator states. “But when President Trump asks Ukraine to investigate corruption, the Democrats want to impeach him."

Actually Trump is kind. Biden actually bragged about it and the threat to withhold aid, and that he would encourage the Ukranian President to call Obama if he doubted Biden. He also gave him four hours to fire the guy. I heard it all come out of Biden’s mouth.

If CNN ran the ad, their viewers might wonder why they never heard the story on CNN.

I bet there isn’t an ad that CNN would not run for the Democrats. No matter how many lies were in it. Remember the ads run against Bush with a chain behind a pickup truck and also saying that black churches would burn.

I saw the 'Trump 2020' which quotes Joe Biden as saying that the Ukraine must fire that prosecutor to get $1 billion.

This was at a KEY POINT in the Season Premiere of 'Seal Team' on CBS. If nothing else, I am sure our folks in the Armed Forces were able to see that...

We can get used to this. Trump’s ads will suffer the same censorship that all conservative voices suffer. All forms of media will censor him to varying degrees.

That was my first thought. CNN would run that one as a PSA.

Twitter has a news feed from Trump that highlights saying he is going to withhold funds for Ukraine. It has the 'Council of Foreign Relations' in the background.

It is very well done, and gets the message across.

I can’t blame them... CNN is a 24x7 democrat ad, so why would you imbed a pro-Trump ad in it?

But CNN had no problem running the ad showing (seemingly) Paul Ryan shoving Granny in a weelchair off a cliff?

If you paid 10 cents per viewer for the ad, what would that come out to? I saw somewhere that they average ~366,000 viewers/hour. So $36,600 dollars for an hour of advertising?

President Trump tweeted the ad to his followers, which is about 60-70 million, About 20x the average CNN show’s rations. It only hurts CNN to not take the money.

How is this not a violation of the FEC fairness doctrine?

I thought federal election law prohibited companies from refusing to run an ad for a federal election if it is approved by the candidate.
