BREAKING: CNN boldly stands up to Trump and REFUSES to back down after he attacked their Iran ceasefire reporting as "FRAUD," demanded a retraction, and threatened an investigation.
This is journalistic integrity at its finest...
โThe statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us," CNN posted on X in response to a post from corrupt FCC Chair Brendan Carr whining about their "fake news" reportng.
The reporting in question quoted Iranian officials as having described the ceasefire as a "great victory" for their nation and a "crushing defeat" for Trump that he agreed to in order to reopen the Straight of Hormuz. The Iranians also (correctly) described the war as "unfair, unlawful, and criminal."
Trump saw the coverage and promptly had a Truth Social meltdownโ
"The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows," he wrote. "The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a 'legitimate' headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below."
"Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player?" he continued. "CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible 'reporting.' Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future."
"No one can believe that Fake News CNN put out a knowingly false and dangerous statement pretending it came from the upper levels of the Iranian Government. It didnโt!" he wrote in a followup post. "It was totally made up and posted, as a headline, for purpose of, perhaps, inflaming a very delicate situation. It was a new, trouble making site from Nigeria, and CNN just got caught cheating - A very dangerous thing to do!"
Unlike Trump, CNN is actually interested in the truth. They don't run reports on random, half-researched Nigerian clickbait articles. They have a robust verification process and network of sources that they use to assure their reporting is accurate.
The likeliest explanation here is that CNN struck a nerve while Trump was still trying to paint his ceasefire as some kind of win, when all he actually accomplished was opening a strait that was already open before he launched his war. It's also entirely possible that he's so lazy, so checked out of the negotiations, and so gripped by dementia that he didn't even realize what he'd agreed to.
In any case, we commend CNN for standing strong. Never cave to the fascist bully!
Please โค๏ธ and share to thank CNN!

#Implement5DayBanking in India๐ฎ๐ณ
With less burnout and improved mental health, a 5-day banking week results in more engaged employees and better customer service. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/Zf8bB0Fesa
A better banking experience starts with a sustainable workweek. With acute staff shortages and mounting stress, 5-day banking is about public service and employee well-being, not a privilege.
UFBU has been pressing since 2015; IBA has already recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024) records the Saturday holiday clause, pending approvals/clearances.
Honour whatโs on record. Approve all Saturdays off.
