After dismal ratings during 2024 election coverage, Trump’s bogey channel CNN set to lay off hundreds

Over the years, Donald Trump has been relentless in his public criticisms of CNN, often using the network as a punching bag in his ongoing battle against mainstream media. He coined the term “fake news” largely in reference to CNN, frequently accusing the network of bias and suggesting that it was part of a “media conspiracy” against him and his supporters. Trump’s jabs included high-profile Twitter posts where he derided CNN’s reporting, especially during key moments of his presidency. In one memorable incident, he even shared a doctored video showing him physically attacking a figure with the CNN logo over its face—a tweet that quickly went viral among his followers.
