GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump slammed cable news network CNN on Monday in a series of tweets accusing them of shilling for Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton.
Ranting about the unfair coverage and constant barrage of attacks from the “Most Trusted Name in News,” Trump blasted the network, its reports and its anchors for openly backing the former Secretary of State.
Trump also warned that if the network continued their dishonest reporting, it would soon see its “trustworthiness” sink like that of “Crooked” Hillary Clinton.
CNN will soon be the least trusted name in news if they continue to be the press shop for Hillary Clinton.

The people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or headline fundraisers – those disconnected from real life.
