Representatives for CNN and MSNBC denied a claim made by President Donald Trump's re-election campaign that the networks are intentionally delaying broadcasts of the president's daily coronavirus briefings as part of an effort to "silence him." "MSNBC and CNN have started delaying the press conferences by about 15 seconds so that they can hear what the President is saying before filtering it for their audiences," the campaign said Tuesday night in an email blast.
It added, "They’re cutting out anything that doesn’t feed into their radical left-wing agenda. It’s sheer madness!" But both networks denied it. "This is completely untrue," a CNN spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.
