President Donald Trump raised a familiar complaint — “unfair” coverage by CNN — in a pair of Monday morning tweets. But this time he called on supporters to boycott the cable news network’s corporate parent, AT&T, to drive the point home.
The president has repeatedly taken aim at the news network, which he routinely derides as “fake news,” and many of its on-air personalities over their coverage of him and his administration. Trump was vocal in his opposition to AT&T’s $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner – “too much concentration of power in the hands of too few, he has said. But critics contend his position is intrinsically linked to his ire at CNN.

Yup drop em
On one hand, that's some seriously thin skinned whining on Trump's part. On the other hand, the 24/7 news/infotainment cycle really is trash, just not for the reasons that he hates CNN.
As Donald usually puts it: it’s never my fault, it’s always someone else’s fault!
How did Jack Nicholson put it. 'You can't handle the truth'
Sounds like first amendment violations...
CNN is fake news.....most news is fake news. :P
