“This is an apple. Some people might try and tell you that it’s a banana,” the ad copy reads. “They might scream banana, banana, banana over and over and over again. They might put BANANA in all caps. You might even start to believe that this is a banana. But it’s not. This is an apple.
“If you’ve paid attention to President Trump’s tweets over the past 10 months, you’ve probably noticed a trend where the president consistently calls any media coverage that is negative toward the administration “fake news.”
“Trump has taken special aim at CNN, though. His most famous anti-media tweet could arguably be a video where Trump is seen body slamming a person with the CNN logo superimposed over his face.”
That wasn’t an apple. That wasn’t a banana. That wasn’t a real person but only the CNN logo.
Given the loud whining of Don Lemon who is now being compared to cyber-bullied children, CNN should have used a big lemon rather than an apple for their new ad.
If their viewers could do their own ad copy in response to the CNN Apple ad, it would be: “This is a terrorist attack going down in New York because the real news is not news of a president drinking Diet Coke.
“You might scream ‘Hate Donald Trump!’, “Hate Donald Trump!, “Hate Donald Trump!”; “Russia!” “Russia!”, “Russia!” over and over again, and “put it all in caps”—but this was a real terrorist attack!”
Meanwhile, it should go without saying what CNN can do with their apple.
