Media critics at times berated CNN for its endless coverage of then-candidate Donald Trump as he campaigned for the White House in 2016, and some have even called the relationship symbiotic -- the network needed ratings, and Trump needed airtime.

"CNN epitomizes the meaning of fake news and has proven it by rejecting our paid campaign ad," Glassner said.
There'll probably be a Trump tweet about this in three...two...one...
