CNN declined to air an ad by US President Donald Trump's campaign because it included a graphic that called the mainstream media "fake news," the network said Tuesday, Politico reports.
Trump's campaign committee had blasted CNN, saying the network refused to run an ad about the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
"CNN requested that the advertiser remove the false graphic that the mainstream media is 'fake news.' The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false and per policy will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted," CNN said in a statement.
