The media and big tech continue to silence conservatives. CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia, Inc. refused to run two ads from President Trump’s election campaign. The Trump campaign ads were related to Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud, which the company called “baseless” and “unsubstantiated”.
In reports from The Hill:
A statement from the Trump campaign obtained by Bloomberg indicated that the ads, meant to “inform viewers of the widespread corruption that occurred in the 2020 election,” would run on unspecified national news networks. A tracking firm, Advertising Analytics, told Bloomberg it had no record of the ads appearing on any of the major networks.
The president and his allies have continued to make claims about voter fraud in the weeks following President-elect Joe Biden‘s victory last month. Legal efforts to stop the certification of individual states’ results failed repeatedly prior to Monday’s Electoral College vote, which formalized Biden’s win.
Trump vowed early Tuesday to continue his baseless claims of election rigging in a tweet declaring: “Much more to come!”
CNN rejected an ad from the Trump campaign in late October, with WarnerMedia stating at the time that a clearance team had pointed out unsubstantiated claims about Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
