Lawyers for Donald Trump sent a letter to CNN threatening legal action under the Lanham Act, alleging false advertising. The claim suggests that if a network portrays itself as unbiased news while being partisan, it violates commercial standards. The discussion notes that such a legal theory could also be applied to other networks like Fox News and is unlikely to succeed in court.
