Four journalists were used in the graphic: Andrea Mitchell of NBC, Scott Pelley of CBS, George Stephanopoulos of ABC, Wolf Blitzer of CNN and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC.
A spokesperson for ABC told The Independent:”We rejected the ad because it did not meet our guidelines. We have previously accepted Trump ads and are open to doing so in the future.”
In a statement, CNN defended the network’s decision by stating that mainstream media is not “fake news” and therefore the ad is “false”.’
