CNN Snaps Back at Trump After President Zings Their Ratings on Twitter

Donald Trump is hammering the political press once again, though this time CNN is returning fire on the president’s preferred battlefield.

Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!

CNN just posted it’s most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts.

CNN is playing defense after the network retracted a story about one of the president’s former staffers. CNN is enforcing new guidelines in the scandal’s aftermath, and they are holding an internal investigation to review the editorial failure that led to the incident.

The embarrassment was compounded on Monday, after three CNN employees resigned over the bogus story. As far as Trump is concerned, this development is all the proof he needs to show how much “fake news” CNN and other media outlets put out about him and Russia.
