CNN: the most busted name in news. Well busted.

 Thomas Lifson:  Trump campaign sues CNN  "I have to admit that the lawsuit that the Trump campaign promises to launch against CNN seems like a long shot to me.  Or, as the media like to say about lawsuits of which they approve, it is an "innovative" or "path-breaking" legal strategy.

"But winning a jury verdict may be beside the point.  The prospect of examining internal documents and compelling testimony under oath promises rich material for political gain.  The rules of civil litigation offer far more flexibility than government prosecution when it comes to gathering evidence.

"Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner:

Outraged by secretly taped anti-Trump comments attributed to CNN President Jeff Zucker and others at the cable network, President Trump's campaign is vowing to sue the company for "a substantial payment of damages."

In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of "excellence in journalism."

Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker's demand for "impeachment above all else," Harder wrote that they "are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years."

He added, "Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called 'mainstream' news, as the current situation."

. . ."Joe DiGenova, who knows roughly a million times as much as I do about the law, sees a strong case, in the Daily Caller (hat tip: Roger Luchs):"

CNN staffers were caught on tape admitting that their network "is totally left-leaning" while pretending that's not the case. The employees say it's an unwritten rule that conservatives and even centrists are not welcome at CNN, that they are well aware of how biased anchors such as Don Lemon are, and that CNN President Jeffery [sic] Zucker has a "personal vendetta" against the president of the United States.  . . .
