CNN is slamming President Donald Trump for calling out its national security correspondent, Natasha Bertrand, over her coverage of U.S. involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday, June 25, to write that "Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out 'like a dog.'"

The president's comments come as Bertrand and CNN reported earlier this week that the U.S. strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the country's nuclear program. Instead, they reported that it simply set the country's capabilities back by months.............

While unleashing against the network in his comments, Trump said Bertrand "should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN." .............................

1. G.O.P. War on Truth takes a minor whoopsie

Just because they have again been caught in a bigly lie and are getting a callout by CNN, does not mean the G.O.P. or its draft-dodging felon-in-chief will stop lying, or stop attacking people or institutions that present facts and truth.

8. No he won't stop in fact he just doubled down by saying he will stop giving information to Congress

2. Dogs are nice and so is Natasha B. too. Trump doesn't like her because she reported on his connections to

….. Putin and Russia.

[benfranklin1776]

6. Indeed she's a top notch reporter.

Hence a threat to his incessant efforts to warp the perception of reality to conform to his increasingly dementia shaped megalomaniacal psychosis. Good job Natasha I would wear his deranged criticism as a badge of honor. ✊🏼

And Brooklyn Dad is quite right: who other than this mentally disordered loon would be concerned with such matters while at a NATO summit 🤬 And he’s right: all reporters need to pay attention as sooner or later he’ll fixate on them. So it’s long past time for them to unite in collective self defense of truth, democracy and ultimately themselves.

3. Trump should be thrown out like a spoiled hot dog.

4. TACO Don's favorite word for women he does not like or challenges him is "DOG".

What a POS he is.

[sop]

5. Why is Trump watching a "FAKE NEWS" reporter on a "FAKE NEWS" channel for "three days"?

[Seinan Sensei]

24. "Executive time"

That’s what Sarah Huck called it

[Norrrm]

7. This is 'Presidential'.

Undoc immigrants are 'animals' acc to Donald.

[radical noodle]

21. Better to be an "animal" or a "dog"

than a magat.

[llmart]

9. We already know what trumpie thinkskin thinks about dogs.

It's along the same lines as what Noem thinks about them. He uses that term in a derogatory way because he's scared to death of dogs (and probably all animals too).

I'm going to start a new meme that's derogatory. "That person should be thrown out like a Trump." Hell, let's start with throwing him out first.

[Moosepoop]

10. Good on CNN

for standing behind Bertrand and her reporting.

[watertiger]

12. They will settle

I wonder how long we’ll have to wait before we find out See Men Bend plans on settling out of court when Dumpster Fire sues them for the coverage

[Miguelito Loveless]

13. CNN will cave,

and fire her. It is what the media does these days.

[AllyCat]

14. Contains No News will get its hand bit and they

Will throw her out like a dog in the name of access.

15. I'm sure Jake Tapper is on the case and ready to blame Biden.

[Silent Type]

16. I get the jab, but as these and other articles indicate, Tapper blasted trump.

Jake Tapper Slaps Trump With A Reminder Of What Journalists Do After He Rants At CNN
The CNN star had enough of the president vilifying the network and reporter Natasha Bertrand for her report on the bombing of Iran.

". . . . . . . .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.” . . . . . ."

17. So what? The fact is that he is part of a media that normalized Trump.

Going back to the days when Wolf Blitzer carried on about "Saddam Husein's weapons of mass destruction" I have regarded CNN as a propaganda outfit.

The fact is that less than one year ago we had a high functioning competent government and now we don't. Crapper seems not to have noticed that we had a high functioning respected government.

We'll add his late objection to Trump to the list of FAFO victims.

[Silent Type]

18. Yes, we had a high functioning government until voters decided it wasn't what they wanted. That wasn't media's fault.

The media -- except for FOX and similar -- showed us exactly who trump is by focusing on his indictments, Jan 6th, fraud case, rape cases, stupidity, etc. Voters made their own decision, despite knowing exactly who trump is.

[mdbl]

19. Does anyone other then dumb magats care who trump likes?

The question is rhetorical. Additionally, at least we all know Dump is a preference for animal cruelty.

[SouthBayDem]

20. CNN's job has never been to be a marketing arm for the White House nt

[Gimpyknee]

22. Trump is projecting once again.

He should be thrown out like a dog.

[Bozvotros]

23. Princess Pettypants is best new name for...

Daddy Dickweed.

[Hekate]

25. "Princess Pettypants" is good

[kacekwl]

26. Ok CNN, put up or shut up.

Time to devote a portion of your coverage of the trump administration to the many crimes, corruption, unconstitutional actions they are committing. It should be fairly easy because they are all doing it out in the open. If you are truly serious. We'll see.

29. Kegsbreath did the same even towards a Fox News reporter

Hegseth slams Fox reporter at press conference: ‘You’ve been about the worst’

“Do you have certainty that all the highly enriched uranium was inside the Fordow mountain?” Griffin asked Hegseth during a contentious press conference early Thursday morning.

“Of course we’re watching it,” Hegseth said before attacking the reporter. “Jennifer, you’ve been about the worst. The one who misrepresents the most intentionally.”

“In fact, I was the first to describe the B-2 bombers, the refueling, the entire mission with great accuracy,” she said. “So I take issue with that.”

“I appreciate that,” Hegseth replied.
