Trump Accuses Media of Treason Over Iran Coverage
As the costs of the Iran war continue to mount, the US president has accused media outlets of treason for reporting what he deems false information. He specifically targeted a report from The Wall Street Journal detailing damaged US Air Force refueling planes in Saudi Arabia, calling the story “false reporting” without substantiating his claim. This latest attack follows threats from the FCC chair to revoke broadcasting licenses of outlets accused of “news distortions,” a move described by a US Senator as a “blatant attempt to muzzle the free press.” The president has also complained about fabricated AI videos purportedly showing an American aircraft carrier on fire, distributed by “Corrupt Media Outlets.”
