Media Miss by the left: Trump claims ‘authorities’ are investigating CNN
Trump says “authorities” are investigating CNN over the way it reported the ceasefire in Iran.
In its live blog, CNN shared a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council in which it claimed to have “achieved a great victory.” Trump responded in a post on social media. “Fake news CNN put out a knowingly false and dangerous statement,” he wrote.
CNN is standing by the statement, saying it came from official Iranian channels.
It was not the only news outlet to report the statement.
