CNN unveiled an online clock on Wednesday to keep track of the length time between President Trump attacks anyone on Twitter.
The news outlet made the announcement in the wake of Trumps well-received address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.
A CNN poll taking afterwards found 7-in-10 who watched the speech felt more optimistic based on the presidents remarks.

Trump stated at one point in his speech that the time for trivial fights is behind us, as he gestured towards the Democrat side of the chamber.
CNN noted, Trumps pivot to mellower rhetoric is actually a few days old. He hasnt knocked, tweaked or attacked anyone on Twitter since Sunday afternoon, when he claimed, Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!
The new outlet stated that people will now be able to track the time between the presidents engagement against others on Twitter.

As reported by Western Journalism,Trump put the Clinton News Network and the other purveyors of fake news in his cross-hairs last Friday, differentiating it from the legitimate role media should play.
Nobody loves the First Amendment better than me. No one uses it more than I do, Trump quipped during a speech at the CPAC event in Washington, D.C.
He added, It gives me the right to criticize fake news and criticize it strongly.

The president said the media even falsely reported on his criticism.
I called the fake news the enemy of the people, Trump explained, but noted that many outlets reported he called the media the enemy of the people.
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

Last month, Trump announced, in a lighthearted way, that he was downgrading CNN from fake news to very fake news, which drew laughter from the reporters present, including CNNs Jim Acosta.

The press has become so dishonest that if we dont talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people, Trump contended during the press conference.
