CNN is refusing to run an ad from President Trump’s reelection campaign that questions former Vice President Biden’s role in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor.
Democrats have been up in arms over the ad, which alleges Biden pushed for a Ukrainian prosecutor to be dismissed in order to protect his son
The ad also swipes at three CNN reporters or anchors -- cutting to images of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta and anchors Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo -- as the narrator says, “The Democrats want to impeach [Trump], and their media lapdogs fall in line.”

Banned from WH or any presser anywhere.
I don’t think they CAN refuse to run a campaign ad.
CNN must not have seen Biden bragging about even when the cameras were on. The media is an enemy of Americans.
Trump should be thankful, CNN just saved him a bunch of money running an ad on a channel nobody watches....
Good. It wouldn’t be worth what CNN would charge to run ad on its low viewership network.
Only a Damn FOOL watches CNN period.....
Sure hope President Trump reads the rejection at all of his rallies.
I’m not sure that applies to political elections.
Try refusing to run an ad from the NAACP and see how far you get.
MSM continually plays right into President Trump’s hands...LOL
Gives him more ammo when they reject campaign ads...Shows their complete bias to the whole country...
Guess Trump will have trouble getting the airport vote.
That ruling applies to commercial ads.
Election ads are covered under FEC regulations.
Whole different set of issues.
So are they allowed to refuse to run them, or not?
So they think that Trump made up that video where Biden bragged about getting the prosecutor fired, huh?
They can, and often do. The usual reason is to avoid being dragged into a defamation lawsuit.
CNN is stuck in a bind, because they hold that it is FALSE that Biden family was involved in any corruption. That being so, they cannot publish an ad that alleges the opposite.
And yes, Trump uses the phrase "Big League" not the pseudo adjective "bigly" ...
Too bad for cnn. The ad would have been their highest rated show.
Can Trump refuse to allow CNN at any press conference?
