What a f*cking IDIOT we elected. What happens when murderous autocrat and Trump buddy Erdogan in Turkey sees something from a reporter there that he doesn't like? "Well Trump said that guy sucks so i tossed him in prison" (or worse). Don't miss Christine Amanpour's reaction. Her camerawoman took a bullet to the face in Bosnia. You're a sad little man Donald.
Trump slams CNN International — and journalists fire back
President Trump's latest broadside against CNN is drawing ire from journalists who say he misunderstands the very purpose of news coverage.
"This is another way that Trump recklessly hurts us in the world," said Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday.
A day earlier, Trump took aim at a new target: the network's international programming. His evening tweet tarred CNN International while also boosting Fox News, the president's favored organization.
"Fox News is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly," the president said. "The outside world does not see the truth from them!"
A few minutes later, CNN's public relations department fired back: "It's not CNN's job to represent the U.S to the world. That's yours. Our job is to report the news."
The tweet included the hashtag #FactsFirst, which is part of an ongoing marketing campaign by the network. It also amassed more than twice as many retweets and likes as the original critique.
CNN International is carried by satellite and cable distributors around the world. Most of its audience is outside the U.S.
