Stupid Constitutional freedom of the press.
Glad to see you’re coming to the realization that you are pro-fascist.

Someone needs to run a 30 second ad of nothing but scrolling black text on a white background of all trumps indictments and convictions. If it would be too fast of scrolling to fit, buy a 60 second slot.
Everything is rigged against me- signed trump or his cultists or a loser
Yes, always the victim. He should win an Oscar for that role, wait, that voting is rigged, too
Ummm…what?
How’s this a freedom of the press issue?
It’s a freedom of a corporation to run the ads they want issue 😂😂
This is true. And he has totally acted like an innocent person with his constant obstruction, delays, and pleas that if he actually did commit any crimes then it doesn't matter because he was President and he is immune from all crimes. Including crimes he may have committed when he wasn't President. Because that's what innocent people do.
Umm, it’s a First Amendment freedom of press issue. The First Amendment provides CNN with the editorial discretion to reject or accept advertisements.
And OP is a fascist because he wants to force CNN to run it despite its First Amendment rights.
If CNN was an unbiased news organization they’d run it.
Since they’re not…they decided not to.
Which is their decision to make.
The decision has nothing to do with “freedom of the press”.
Laugh all you want…it’s a corporate decision, not a “freedom of the press decision”.
Um, okay. If you say so.
Again, OP wants to force CNN to carry the ad. Which makes him a fascist.
And the reason why CNN doesn’t have to carry the ad is because of the First Amendment which allows news organizations to accept or reject ads in their discretion.
Can link you dozens of articles and Court opinions on why the First Amendment protects CNN here but you appear to have made up your mind that it’s some undefined corporate freedom issue.

We’re talking about a political advertisement here. CNN has every right to determine what advertisements they run…like every other media outlet.
It isn’t a “freedom of the press” issue.
It does expose their bias. Probably just smarter to take the $$$ and run it
If you're a non biased poster you'll let me say whatever I want on your account.
You’re getting there.
Where does that right come from?
The First Amendment editorial discretion or some sort of freedom as a corporation as you suggest?
Here’s what the federal courts think:
“And yet, as the Court has affirmed on multiple occasions, the right to select or not select ads is part of the right to editorial discretion ...”
Fair enough. They should stfu about being a non biased media source as well.
There’s also this…

Yep. Those are the rules that require an over the air station to carry a candidate’s ads and the station cannot edit or refuse them. Part of the deal for the airwaves.
The rules require the candidate be a bona fide candidate for a federal office and from the candidate themselves.
This wouldn’t apply to the ad here as CNN is not over the air and the ad is not from the Trump campaign but Building Americas Futures.
I wouldn't use the word "controlled."
"Festooned" is much more accurate.
“Now our chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce… I’m curious what you're hearing from your sources. Did he do what they wanted them to do?”
This is what Mary Bruce said:
“I can tell you the White House is very happy right now. I bet there are a lot of high fives going on right now…. The White House feels that he nailed this, that he put his critics on their heels at every turn… I think the overarching message coming out of this speech was really, game on… And the tone of it was just so classic Biden! It wasn’t polished, lofty rhetoric. It was folksy, it was personal. He was funny at times… He repeatedly put Republicans on notice. He sparred with them in the room in a way I don’t think we’ve ever seen before…”
The White House feels he nailed this? Real talk, if the job is to instantly relay the White House’s opinion on the White House’s speech, why do we need ABC? Why not cut right to a levitating Jake Sullivan head declaring, “PEOPLE OF EARTH! YOU ARE ENHRALLED!” At least MSNBC has the sense to just cut out the middleman and hire Jen Psaki. Sorry: MSNBC had two former White House communications directors on to give reaction instructions.
That is complete BS. If you think that, go get help
Even the “Left” of this show, Democrat strategist Mo Elleithee, disagreed with Greene: “The second you say Donald Trump is anti-democratic, you immediately are going to feed into this narrative” of a biased press. He said just describe what Trump wants to do, and let the voters decide without the Trump Scare lingo.
