Jake Tapper Slaps Trump With A Reminder Of What Journalists Do After He Rants At CNN
CNN host Jake Tapper schooled Donald Trump Wednesday on the mission of journalists after the president targeted the news network and other outlets for their reporting on the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. (Watch the video below.) Trump called the media 'scum' and 'fake' for correctly reporting that a preliminary Pentagon assessment said the strikes perhaps set back Iran's nuke development by a few months ― but did not obliterate its program as Trump claimed. The president also zeroed in on CNN's Natasha Bertrand, who was the first to surface the finding, demanding that CNN throw her out 'like a dog.' In an impassioned address, Tapper outlined Trump's mode of attacking the messenger and branding outlets that reported the analysis as unpatriotic and disrespectful to the military. The anchor reminded Trump of the Fourth Estate's goal. 'Our obligation as journalists is not to praise President Trump, or protect his feelings, or to disparage him, or to praise him for that matter,' Tapper said. 'Our obligation is to report facts. In this case, the fact is that an initial DIA intel assessment out of [Defense] Secretary Pete Hegseth's own Pentagon exists. And that's not going to change, no matter how many insults Trump levels.' After a history lesson on government deception in the Vietnam War, Tapper concluded: 'We don't know yet whether this administration is accurately portraying what happened in Iran or not. We don't know. That's the point of publishing what we know, that the government learns, once we learn it. ... The news media needs to press for facts, even if it's uncomfortable. Even if, as Americans and as humans, there is a personal instinct to rally around the flag. Asking questions is literally our job. Demanding facts and answers instead of just taking a president's word for it. History has taught us that the most pro-service member action we can take is to ask questions of our leaders, especially in times of war. That, for journalists, is the height of patriotism.'

Trump admin to reveal proof ‘fake news' outlets CNN, NY Times ‘lied' about damage inflicted by US strikes on Iran
President Trump has teased the release Thursday of 'irrefutable' proof that 'fake news' outlets like CNN and the New York Times 'lied' about the damage inflicted by the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Trump said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth would hold an 8 a.m. press conference at the Pentagon in honor of the 'Great American Pilots' who carried out the bombings. 'These Patriots were very upset! After 36 hours of dangerously flying through Enemy Territory, they landed, they knew the Success was LEGENDARY, and then, two days later, they started reading Fake News by CNN and The Failing New York Times. They felt terribly!' Trump said in a Truth Social post. Advertisement 3 Jake Tapper defended CNN's reporting on Wednesday. CNN 'Fortunately for them and, as usual, solely for the purpose of demeaning PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, the Fake News (Times and CNN) lied and totally misrepresented the Facts, none of which they had (because it was too soon, there were no Facts out there yet!).' 'The News Conference will prove both interesting and irrefutable. Enjoy!' he added. Advertisement Trump has been adamant that the strikes wiped out Iran's nuclear facilities and set the program back decades — despite a preliminary intelligence assessment, which was leaked to CNN and others, suggesting Tehran could salvage it within months. The commander in chief has repeatedly trashed the lefty outlets — accusing them of diminishing the pilots' results. 'I believe it was total obliteration. I believe they didn't have a chance to get anything out, because we acted very fast,' he said at the NATO summit on Wednesday. Speaking to the press, Trump added: 'You should be praising those people instead of trying to find out by getting me, by trying to go and get me. You're hurting those people.' Advertisement 3 President Trump claimed 'fake news' outlets 'lied' about the damage inflicted by the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. REUTERS 3 US airstrikes destroyed buildings at Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center. via REUTERS CNN's Jake Tapper defended his network's reporting Wednesday, saying: 'Trump and his administration are going after shooting the messengers in an increasingly ugly way.' Tapper insisted the scrutiny of Trump's strikes was not directed at service members. Advertisement 'The key questions for the American people in the world are simply about the degree of success of the operation, and the current state of Iran's nuclear weapons program and what the intelligence — not the politicians — what the intelligence reveals,' Tapper said. 'We don't know yet whether this administration is accurately portraying what happened in Iran or not. We don't. That's the point of publishing what we know that the government learns, once we learn it … The news media needs to press for facts, even if it's uncomfortable.'
