Never seen a U.S. president 'order' the press to retract a report before

[bigtree]

...if this was allowed, everything written that the govt disagreed with would be subject to this imperial edict.

Adam Steinbaugh @adamsteinbaugh
Trump says the United States is investigating a statement republished by CNN World News to see if a crime was committed, and the President is “order[ing]” CNN to retract and withdraw the story.

Not how it works in a free country.

4. Since when are official presidential policies broadcast on minor social media websites?

I believe Truth Social should be banned to publishing governmental policies. Most Americans will never have access to it. It should be forbidden for federal officials to use it for anything except celebrity gossip and pet photos.

11. Many real Americans don't want to have anything to do with that site.

And wasn't there something a couple of months ago about how both his site and twitter are basically infested with bots? That basically many of the so called "followers" on both sites don't really exist?

13. Exactly right

And it's all the more reason that REAL news media (such as CNN) should never publicize information that appears on Truth Social. It should be ignored and treated as "fake news" only.

5. WHOOPY FUCKING DO!!

Fuck TSF and the lies he road in on!!

[leftstreet]

6. Will he threaten to blow up their headquarters?

You have 48 hours!!!

9. I hope he does.

CNN will end up with free satellite service and raises for all the employees. Trump will get a set of CNN covfefe mugs.

Win-win.

7. he's going to have to

order a lot of outlets foreign and domestic from doing this. Just as an example: https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/iran-claims-historic-victory-after-trump-announces-truce-unveils-10-point-plan/ar-AA20nJVJ among many others. His art of this deal was hardly artful.

8. So tell us exactly what you agreed to Donnie.

10. Have you ever noticed he never mentions exactly "WHO" is doing the investigation?

12. It's like his whole

Obamas-birth-certificate-isnt-real investigation. We'll have the results in two weeks!
