A group of conservative street artists hijacked a billboard in Hollywood on Friday morning and displayed an Anti-CNN billboard, which happened to be across the street from the fake news network.
The conservative group, known as The Faction, criticized CNN and its president Jeff Zucker for his coverage of this week’s summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, between President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
In the billboard that appeared in front of CNN’s Hollywood headquarters, the group referred to CNN as “Communist News Network,” came up with the phrase “Keep Korea divided” with an asterisk that said, “because OrangeManBad.” It also showed an image of Jeff Zucker, whose title was “CEO, CNNPC”. a reference to the “non-playable character” meme that has described liberals as robotic.
“When Trump speaks brilliantly of Kim Jong Un, it’s a tactic,” an anonymous member of The Faction told The Hollywood Reporter. “Zucker and his activist journalists know this, but they are more than willing to try to torpedo the summit: the future of the suffering peoples of North and South Korea is condemned.”
The anti-CNN sign lasted for about seven hours before it was taken down and an ad for a marijuana dispensary was properly restored in its place.
The second summit between Trump and Kim ended earlier than expected as the two leaders could not agree on the terms of an agreement.
Fake news CNN devoted no coverage to the Hanoi summit on Wednesday, as they focused on the testimony of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in Congress.
