New York (CNN Business)A lawyer for CNN's parent company WarnerMedia has written a cease-and-desist letter to President Trump's re-election campaign over the misleading contents of a new campaign ad.
WarnerMedia says the Trump ad is misusing CNN news coverage in a way that's "false, misleading and deceptive."
In response to a request for comment from CNN Business, the campaign claimed that the ad is accurate and attacked the network's editorial decisions.
Rick D. McMurtry, associate general counsel for WarnerMedia, wrote in a letter to Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign's communications director, that "the advertisement purposely and deceptively edits the clip to imply that Mr. Blitzer and Dr. Gupta were crediting the President's travel ban policy issued in January for saving millions of American lives, when in fact Mr. Blitzer and Dr. Gupta were discussing recently implemented social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders issued by state and local governments."

Given how much emphasis Team Trump has put on the ineffectual travel restriction it's little wonder why they need to issue blatant propaganda in support of the idea. Trumpleheads refer to the restriction every time they try to defend Don's bungled response. That's pathetic.
