MOSCOW, 30 Jul — RIA Novosti, Igor Gashkov. Trench warfare between the President of the United States Donald trump and the media that supports Democrats, has got a new twist. The team of the head of state failed to prove that TV channels like ABC, CBS and NBC shape the broadcasting so that most of the reports about trump falls on the “Russian trace” in American politics. First Deputy press Secretary of the White house Sarah Huckaby Sanders said that information policy is “unacceptable”. Earlier in the leaked video producer CNN John Bonifield, who called the stories about the “Russian interference” in the election of a succession of “stupid”, for which there is “no evidence”.

Trump goes on the offensive
The last week of June proved successful for U.S. President Donald trump. The President was able to enlist the support of the Supreme court for a temporary ban on migration from six Muslim countries and to bring together positions with the President of France Emmanuel Macron. In the confrontation with the media the ball is also on the side of the White house. A massive campaign about ties trump with Russia loses effectiveness at long distances, as demonstrated by the sociological survey Elliott driere Reports Poll that appeared this week, the majority (51%) of undecided Americans and the vast majority (76%) of Republicans believe that the media is biased to the President.
“Three minutes on the infrastructure. Five on the economy and employment, 17 to health, and 353 — to attack the President, promoting the entirely fictional story about Russian trace,” said Sarah Huckaby.
In a similar vein, expressed his thoughts head of the sociological service of the MRC Richard Noyes. “The fact that the media tirelessly cover the Russian theme, means that less attention is given to important political subjects. This investigation was paid 20 times more attention than a new agenda for health, is a hundred times more space in telnetce than the attempts of the administration to improve the national infrastructure. But that’s not all: the project for a universal tax reform was given to 450 times less space in Teleset!” — says the sociologist.
“Evidence of Russian intervention we have,”
These charges were filed amid the ongoing scandal at CNN. So, the material on the links between Advisor trump Anthony of Scaramucci and Director of the Russian direct investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev turned out to be untrue. The criticisms of television in the dissemination of false information were distributed earlier, including from the White house. However, for the first time, the media Empire took criticism into account. Opponents of trump began an internal investigation, the results of which lost work of the author, Thomas Frank, editor of investigative journalism Eric Lichtbau and the head of CNN Money Lex Harris.
A day after the misfire CNN was in the midst of another scandal, again involving the Russian-American relations. The Internet resource Project Veritas has published made with a hidden camera recording of a senior television producer John Bonifield. “No real evidence of Russian intervention we have, I think there are none at all,” said the journalist, who believes simultaneously that trump is right in saying about the “witch hunt”. Bonifield questioned the pathos of the revelations of his company: “Even if Russia tried to interfere in our elections, we are trying to interfere in their elections. Our CIA is constantly doing something, we try to manipulate governments. You win because you know the rules and play by them.”
The difficulties faced by CNN, reflected in the falling ratings of the TV channel. According to Le Monde, the media Empire is losing its position to competitors — Fox News and MSNBC.

The poll of the sociological service YouGov conducted in June, shows that 70% of Americans believe: the editorial policy of TV channels and Newspapers associated with the political preferences of their owners. About the same the President said trump, convinced that fighting against the establishment, including such tycoons of the world media and politicians, like George Soros. This is the entrepreneur who will help TV channels NBC and ABC, in February 2017 predicted the future “the collapse of trump.” Not surprisingly, NBC and ABC actively looking for a “Russian connection” of the President.
