Putting the lamestream media’s dishonesty on blast, President Donald Trump slammed CNN and MSNBC for their biased coverage of recent events.
Specifically, the president criticized how these outlets portrayed the successful U.S. military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Standing on the White House lawn before departing for the NATO summit, President Trump defended the brave American pilots who risked their lives.
The president did not mince words when addressing reporters about the media’s attempts to downplay the effectiveness of Operation Midnight Hammer, which targeted Iran’s nuclear infrastructure over the weekend.
He specifically called out CNN and MSNBC for their biased reporting that questioned the extent of damage inflicted on Iranian nuclear sites.
“I think it’s been completely demolished,” President Trump said about the targeted Iranian nuclear sites. “I think the reason we’re here is because those pilots, those B-2 pilots, did an unbelievable job.”
The president’s frustration centered on how networks have consistently tried to undermine America’s military achievements while pushing their anti-Trump agenda.
President Trump pointed out that the skeptical coverage by networks like CNN was not just an attack on him but dishonored the brave military personnel who executed the mission.
“And you know, the fake news like CNN in particular, they’re trying to, you know, they’re trying to say, ‘Well, I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed,'” he said.
President Trump’s decisive military action came in response to Iran’s continued nuclear threats and regional aggression.
While military experts praised the precision of the strikes, CNN and other outlets quickly published analyses questioning whether Iran’s nuclear program was fully neutralized.
President Trump did not hold back his contempt for the dishonest reporting. “CNN is s*** and so is MSDNC. They’re all! And frankly, the networks aren’t much better. It’s all fake news!”
The airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities have raised concerns about a wider conflict.
However, President Trump emphasized that his administration’s forceful response was necessary after the broken ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
The president demanded that media outlets apologize for their disrespectful coverage that discredited the military’s achievements.
He insisted that the pilots deserve full credit for successfully hitting their targets with precision, contrary to what CNN and The New York Times have suggested in their reporting.
As President Trump heads to the NATO summit in the Netherlands, the Iran situation is expected to be a major topic of discussion.
While America’s enemies and critics around the world watch closely, the president remains defiant in the face of domestic criticism regarding his zero-tolerance approach toward terrorists.
