Former President Donald Trump is suing CNN for defamation, accusing the network of comparing his name to the likes of Adolf Hitler all in hopes to undermine a potential run for re-election in 2024.
CNN has blatantly tainted Trump’s image by using “ever-more scandalous” labels to describe him in broadcasts, including “racist,” “Russian lackey,” and “insurrectionist,” culminating in false comparisons to the late Nazi leader, according to a suit filed Monday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Trump alleges the report went too far far because “a focal point of the report is a discussion of the ascendancy of Hitler and comparisons to the plaintiff, interspersing discussion of Hitler and Nazi Germany with footage of the plaintiff.”
CNN has made some changes lately in an attempt to regain credibility in the industry.
Do you think CNN should be fined?
