White House spokesman Steven Cheung lashed out at CNN on Wednesday after claiming that the network refused to interview Trump adviser Stephen Miller.
“Stephen Miller has graciously made himself available to appear on any CNN show these last few days to discuss a wide range of topics and to push back on fake news,” Cheung ranted. “Yet, CNN is so afraid they declined to have him on, probably because they know he’d run circles around any of their hosts.”
“CNN is actively engaging in partisan politics and acting as the propaganda arm of the Democrat party,” he added.
Miller is know for his combative interview style. He regularly spars with journalists and interviewers who offer any pushback or fact check of his inflammatory comments, usually about immigrants.
Cheung’s complaint about CNN follows a Wall Street Journal report detailing the lengths Paramount CEO David Ellison is willing to go to appease Donald Trump to secure the administration’s approval of his bid to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery.
Ellison reportedly told multiple Trump administration officials he would demand changes to CNN favorable to the administration.
