Trump campaign to sue CNN

PJ Media:
In the wake of recent footage released by Project Veritas showing significant anti-Trump/pro-impeachment bias at CNN, President Trump's campaign is vowing to sue the network for "a substantial payment of damages," according to an exclusive report from Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner.
In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of “excellence in journalism.”

Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker’s demand for “impeachment above all else,” Harder wrote that they “are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years.”

He added, “Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called 'mainstream' news, as the current situation.”
Of course, the media is protected by the First Amendment. However, Trump's attorney, who represents him and his campaign, said in a letter to CNN that the network's bias violates the Lanham Act “by constituting misrepresentations to the public, to your advertisers, and to others” to distribute “truly fair and balanced” news.
...
It is an interesting theory.  We will have to see if the judge handling the case will buy it.
