Trump’s Attacks on CNN, Fox Underscore Effort to Stifle Questions, Put Media on Back Foot
- President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a news conference on Thursday to defend recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
- The event followed media reports based on a leaked intelligence assessment suggesting the strikes only delayed Iran's nuclear program, contradicting Trump's claims of complete destruction.
- The White House spokesperson criticized CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand for promoting misleading stories, while Hegseth denounced outlets such as CNN and The New York Times for circulating inaccurate narratives.
- Trump called the strikes a 'spectacular military success' that 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities and urged CNN to fire Bertrand, while CNN defended her reporting as accurate and professional.
- The administration's offensive aimed to reinforce Trump's foreign and domestic agendas amid congressional negotiations on his economic bill, with mixed views on the strikes' effectiveness and ongoing investigations into intelligence leaks.
