Pro-Trump narrative
CNN has done nothing but smear Trump since he first announced his run for president in 2015, and the network should have to pay for equating him with Hitler and Nazis. The network’s malice is evident in its silence about Democratic politicians who have complained about election integrity through the years. Someday CNN will be held accountable for its biased rhetoric.

While Trump keeps telling his followers he’s a winner, this case gets added to the laundry list of defeats he has suffered in the courts — including other suits against media outlets. The freedom of the press is a pillar of the US, and Trump is finding out the hard way that he can’t just use the legal system to attack news outlets he feels has besmirched him.
