Even as President Donald Trump has tried to block CNN and MS NOW from covering the White House, his administration has purchased pro-Trump TV ad time on the news networks — using taxpayer money.

The ads began running on Fox News and Newsmax last week, and the White House has now aired spos on CBS, Fox, NBC and ABC. In addition, through Wednesday, the Trump administration has aired 38 ads on MS NOW and 10 on CNN, according to data provided by advertising-tracking firm AdImpact, as reported by the Washington Post.
