Trump has called out CNN, big time, over a leaked report on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. He even called for the network to fire reporter Natasha Bertrand.
Bertrand has a clear reputation for pushing fake news nonsense. Prior to joining CNN, she pushed the ’51 intelligence experts’ story about Hunter Biden’s laptop being a Russia disinformation operation.
Today, CNN anchor Dana Bash tried to respond to Trump and it was clear that she was upset about how this is all unfolding. She was reduced to a stuttering mess.

Trump Once Again Got Under CNN’s Skin…and It’s Beautiful to Watch
President Trump clinched another win against CNN, exposing the leaked intelligence report as trash. That report claimed little to no damage to Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It was a low-confidence, top-secret report, which got leaked likely by some Democrat congressional staffers since it’s facially untrue: you’re telling me that Operation Midnight Hammer, which has zero leaks, is suddenly going to be hollowed out like this—please. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard even admitted the program has been severely degraded.
It was plastered all over CNN yesterday, and lo and behold. It’s trash. We knew it was trash, and the Trump White House’s approach is to say those touting it are denigrating our troops. Host Dana Bash was especially triggered that Trump would smash the network again at the NATO presser earlier today, adding that the network isn’t demeaning the US military. She added that it was a “tell,” noting that it was another episode in which Trump was “trying to manipulate the conversation.”

There will be consequences for this.
Rubio at NATO pushing back on reports re: Iran’s ☢️ sites: “These leakers are professional stabbers. That’s what they are. They go out and they read this stuff and they tell you what it says, against the law, but they characterize it for you in a way that is absolutely false.” pic.twitter.com/bDJdF2BkSC

Still, it’s always fun to watch CNN melting down.
