CNN is giving Donald Trump a free spelling lesson in response to his latest rampage against the network.

On Tuesday morning, the president turned on the Twitter machine in order to slam the media again while defending Sinclair Broadcasting from the recent controversy surrounding their scripted, anti-media campaign. As Trump fumed about the media’s “sick and biased agenda,” he eventually decided to focus on his favorite media enemies: Jeff Zucker and CNN.

There’s just one little problem with Trump’s tweet. Can you spot it? CNN did, and their communications team made a point of it in their reaction:

1. Then they should not have given him such a platform.

All the media gave him disproportionate coverage and credibility. They dropped the ball during the debates. Now they can't control their monster.

3. Agree. They should just ignore or ridicule him.

But how to respond to juvenile tweets from a sitting POTUS is new for everyone. Sad.

[LisaM]

5. They should take responsibility.

And apologize to the country and in particular to Hillary Clinton.

6. They could have edited it even harder:

Check out the fact that you can’t get a job at ratings challenged @CNN unless you state that you are totally anti-Trump? Little Jeff Zuker, whose job is in jeopardy, is not having much fun lately. They should clean up and strengthen CNN and get back to honest reporting!

"ratings-challenged" needs a hyphen. The first sentence began as a statement but you've decided to end it with a question mark. Perhaps you zoned out in the middle and need to concentrate more on your long-form writing?

See me after class.

9. where is Trump asking us to "check out"

the fact about CNN?

[Kittycow]

2. Yeah, "Little Jeff Zuker" is nervously polishing up his resume

as we speak

[thucythucy]

4. Trump sure likes to call people he doesn't like "little."

Since so many of his other scurrilous attacks seem to be pure projection, I wonder what we can deduce from his repeated use of "little" to castigate others.

7. They should call him Big Fat Rump.

in direct response to his belittling and misspelling.

Everyone is too polite to this POS. He doesn’t know when he’s been insulted.

[RoBear]

12. I always call him

"little winky"

[aggiesal]

14. How about "Fatso & Chief"? ...

I know it's an insult to Fatso's and Chief's everywhere.

[gademocrat7]

8. It is disgusting that this buffoon is president.

He is an unhinged bully.

[progressoid]

10. Yeah, fuck trump and CNN.

13. As Jimmy Carter agreed, the U.S. DESERVES A JERK for POTUS.. really really sad.
