Setting a chilling precedent against free speech rights, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. has just learned that now, all of the mainstream media television networks have made a decision to block the paid placement of a campaign ad that celebrates the achievements of President Trump in his first 100 days in office.

During her Fox News appearance, Lara Trump proclaimed that mainstream media only champions the First Amendment "when it serves their own political views".

Russian TV station RT has reported that the advert features faces of anchors of NBC, CNN, MSNBC, CBS and ABC with the caption "FAKE NEWS" running across their faces. "This is an unprecedented act of censorship in America that should concern every freedom-loving citizen", said Lara Trump who, like Bill O'Reilly, formerly was in the employ of the King World/CBS TV Distribution's syndicated series Inside Edition. After listing several of Trump's accomplishments, including confirmation of a new US Supreme Court Justice, the narrator says that "you wouldn't know it from watching the news". Earlier in the week, the campaign blasted CNN for refusing to air the ad. He has repeatedly accused journalists of writing and airing "fake news", and the media and Democrats have accused him of trying to squash a free press and First Amendment rights. "CNN epitomizes the meaning of fake news and has proven it by rejecting our paid campaign ad".

The Washington Times reported one of the featured media correspondents was CNN's Wolf Blitzer. And during his 2016 campaign for president, he called CNN the "Clinton News Network", in reference to his then-opponent Hillary Clinton.

"It's a great ad and it highlights all the wonderful things that have happened".

Trump added: "Faced with an ad that doesn't fit their biased narrative, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC have now all chosen to block our ad".

For example, it points out Trump has worked with Congress to sign into law 28 bills in 100 days.

"CNN requested that the advertiser remove the false graphic that says the mainstream media is 'fake news, '" reads the statement.

Fox News, the most popular cable news channel, has not banned the ad.
