Trump rages that media outlets should be charged with 'treason' over Iran war coverage [View all]
Source: Raw Story
President Donald Trump raged in a rambling Truth Social post on Sunday that media outlets that write negative stories about the Iran war should be charged with treason.
Trump issued the threat in response to a report by The Wall Street Journal about five U.S. military refueling planes being hit by Iranian forces. The report said the planes were hit at a Saudi airbase. They were damaged, but not totally destroyed, according to the report.
In his post, Trump accused the Iranians of "feeding" the story to the U.S. press.
"The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!" Trump raged in his post. "The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they 'win' are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets."

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.
