Mendham man leading Trump re-election campaign, accuses CNN of ‘censorship’ – New Jersey Hills
MENDHAM A borough man who is President Donald Trumps campaign director has accused CNN of censorship because the news company would not run a Trump ad accusing CNN of producing fake news.
The 30 second ad focused on Trumps accomplishments and superimposed the words fake news over several TV journalists, including Wolf Blitzer of CNN, and others from MSNBC, PBS, ABC and CBS. CNN said it would run the ad only if the fake news words were removed.
This is censorship pure and simple, the campaign director, Michael Glassner, said in a statement on May 2. By rejecting our ad, CNN has proven that it supports censorship, is biased and fears an opposing point of view. President Trumps loyal supporters know the truth: The mainstream media mislead, misguide, deceive, and distract. CNN epitomizes the meaning of fake news and has proven it by rejecting our paid campaign ad.
Glassner was not available for further comment. He is married to Borough Councilwoman Christine Glassner.
The donaldjtrump.com website reported on May 2 that mainstream media had refused to run an ad entitled First 100 Days. The ad highlights the Presidents first 100 days in office, exhibiting clear vision, resolute leadership and an uncompromising dedication to the American people, just as he promised throughout his campaign.
It is absolutely shameful to see the media blocking the positive message that President Trump is trying to share with the country. Its clear that CNN is trying to silence our voice and censor our free speech because it doesnt fit their narrative, said Glassner.
The website said CNN takes issue with the ads message calling out the mainstream media for peddling fake news and not reporting on the fact that President Trump is making America great again.
CNN said in a statement that it had requested the Trump campaign to remove the false graphic that says the mainstream media is fake news.
The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false. Per our policy, it will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted. Those are the facts, the CNN statement said.
The Trump campaign had accused the mainstream media of reporting fake news for not reporting on the fact that President Trump is making America great again.
A narrator in the ad claims that America has rarely seen such success, and listed several purported achievements from Trumps first 100 days in office.
You wouldnt know it from watching the news, the narrator says, before the words fake news are briefly superimposed on the reporters.
Glassner, 53, was first hired as Trumps deputy national campaign manager in August 2015. He is a former chief of staff and top advisor to Sarah Palins 2008 run for vice president when she ran with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for president.
Glassner also was an adviser to former Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kans., during his presidential campaign.
The Washington Post reported in June 2016 that Glassner had a role in developing Trumps plan to bar Muslims from entering the U.S. He said a ban would have nothing to do with religion but a result of those who attacked the World Trade Center.
