WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump has unleashed vehement criticism against American media, especially CNN.
During a town hall in Columbus, Ohio, Monday, the New York business tycoon termed CNN as Clinton News Network and said the New York Times is dishonest for favoring his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Trump alleged that these media outlets write beautifully about 'Crooked Hillary.'
According to Trump, The New York Times is really, really dishonest, and it's failing. They won't be in business more than two or three years, he says.
Trump also published a series of statements on Twitter lashing out at CNN:
'The people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or headline fundraisers - those disconnected from real life.'
'Will CNN send its cameras to the border to show the massive unreported crisis now unfolding, or are they worried it will hurt Hillary?'
He questioned the news network's credibility as well as that of Clinton.
'CNN will soon be the least trusted name in news if they continue to be the press shop for Hillary Clinton.'
