Trump ‘KOs CNN’

IN his latest jab at the media, President Donald Trump has tweeted a mock video that shows him pommelling a man in a business suit – his face obscured by the CNN logo – outside a wrestling ring.

It was not clear who produced the video, which appears to be a doctored version of Trump’s 2007 appearance on World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. The 28-second clip was posted on Trump’s official Twitter account, with the message: “#FraudNewsCNN #FNN.”

The president has taken particular aim at CNN, calling the network “fake news”.

Bruce Brown, the executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, condemned the video as a “threat of physical violence against journalists”.
