And I bet CNN would pay all the costs. That would be good publicity for CNN - everyone who can't stand him (most of the word, but especially in the US) would kill to see him cornered.

Indeed it is and I remember studying the phenomenon in modern history. We called it the 'inciting fear of a common enemy' and it is a tactic whereby a political figure demonises a group to divert the ire of the electorate away from said political figure toward a group that he or she wishes to see 'removed' or powerless (the media in this case). At the expense of employing a 'Godwin', Hitler mastered the technique by demonising the Jewish population.
Communist administrations employ it as well, such as inciting hatred toward intellectuals and religious figures ~ anyone that may question the administration publicly or even in private in the more extreme cases.
I don't know if that's Trump's aim, or he is just somewhat politically naïve.
Apparently the ad was so bad, even FOX stopped showing it.
Even Fox News Stops Running Trump Caravan Ad Criticized as Racist
Were the immigrants shown in trumps ad the people the ad claims they were? (They dont have to be actors to make the ad a lie)
Main stream media is not a propaganda machine like FOX, and Breitbart, rightie favorites.
