White House Warns CNN That Critical Coverage Could Cost Time Warner Its Merger

So, now, his administration is openly threatening to punish the network by sending the Justice Department after its parent company. As the New York Times reports:

White House advisers have discussed a potential point of leverage over their adversary, a senior administration official said: a pending merger between CNN’s parent company, Time Warner, and AT&T. Mr. Trump’s Justice Department will decide whether to approve the merger, and while analysts say there is little to stop the deal from moving forward, the president’s animus toward CNN remains a wild card.
