Trump slams CNN International- Katelyn Thompson
http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/26/media/president-trump-cnn-international-tweets/index.html
This article was written by Brian Stelter from CNN on 11-26-27.
It isn't news that our President prefers certain news organizations than others, and this is further revealed when he takes yet another aim at CNN. The president tweets,"Fox News is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly," the president said. "The outside world does not see the truth from them!" Most of CNN International's audience is outside of the U.S.
It's not clear as to why the president hd tweeted it, but earlier this month he was watching CNN in the Philippines. One thing that is interesting though is that even though the president is constantly tweeting about the "fake" news, the same day that this was tweeted, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed legislation that would allow foreign media outlets in that country to be listed as "foreign agents".
CNN International is a well praised organization from which CNN took the money out in order create a solid infrastructure with solid reporters. CNN International is known for top reporting on everything from human rights violations to global disasters. These types of organizations are hard to find in this day and age. The fact that the President is targeting credible news organizations while hiding behind others says a lot to the world.
This can be related back to when the first amendment of the constitutions: freedom of press.
