New York, Nov 1 (EFE).- The campaign of former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said this Friday that it has denounced The Washington Post newspaper for alleged support for his rival, Kamala Harris, a day after suing the CBS channel for similar reasons.
In a brief note, the Trump campaign indicates that it has reported the Post’s “illegal in-kind contributions” to the Federal Election Commission, because it allegedly provides critical coverage of Trump in a social media ad campaign, while coverage of Harris It is presumably neutral.
The complaint cites a report published yesterday in the Semafor media, which argues that the Post has paid for this campaign to promote negative news about Trump amid the exodus of subscribers that has followed his announcement that he will not support any electoral candidate.
This complaint is added to a civil lawsuit that Trump’s lawyers filed yesterday Thursday in a Texas court against CBS for the alleged editing of an interview by Harris on the program ’60 Minutes’ to favor the candidate, and in which he asks 10 billion dollars.
Specifically, it denounces that CBS issued different answers to the same interview question on ’60 Minutes’ and in a previous excerpt for the program ‘Face the Nation’ in a manipulative way to confuse the public, to which the medium responded that the Legal action has no basis.
This lawsuit has been filed in a court in Amarillo, in northern Texas, which has only one judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, a conservative and nominated by Trump, according to CNBC.
Different legal experts cited by the American media considered that the complaints have little probability of succeeding due to the weakness of their arguments.
Trump has previously criticized other media outlets, including the conservative Fox television network, for their coverage; In this case, he even said in the middle of last month that he was going to ask tycoon Rupert Murdoch, his chief executive, to censor negative publicity about him.
