Trump interferes with free press again

 Independent, UK -  Despite his administration confirming that an American intelligence assessment on the effectiveness of last weekend’s airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities is indeed real, the president took to his social media platform on Wednesday afternoon and demanded CNN terminate the reporter who broke the story.

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN!” Trump exclaimed on Truth Social. “I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog’.”

After claiming that Bertrand falsely reported other stories, the media-bashing president went on to claim that the CNN correspondent “lied about the Nuclear Sites Story” before accusing her of demeaning American troops with her reporting – an allegation he made earlier in the day about CNN as a whole.
