CNN fired back at President Trump after he attacked the network in a tweet Saturday for representing the U.S. “very poorly” to the world.

“It's not CNN's job to represent the U.S to the world,” the network’s public relations team tweeted. “That's yours. Our job is to report the news. #FactsFirst.”

Our job is to report the news.


Except when they make agreements with dictators like Hussein in Iraq and suppress news to keep access.

Not a fan of CNN, but I don't think Trump should be spending time promoting a network (Fox News) and bashing another (CNN).

FOX has become no better than Infowarts and Trump is the same fecal smear he's always been.

More petty BS to distract us from the fact that Trump is becoming a failure.   Keeps his fans engaged, but it does nothing for the rest of us, or for the world.  How many of these reality tv controversies do we have now?  His dispute with Time over the Person of the Year, the squabble over the consumer agency and its head, and now this.  These are in  addition to his ongoing disputes like the ones with his own party.  Trump always has to be a hero, fighting the forces of evil.  Great for reality tv, but not for real life. 

Found out on Thanksgiving that my brother, a college educated guy, is now a Trump fan.  Why do so many supposedly smart people fall for Trump and his BS?

I agree. I no longer watch Fox News anymore. They are worse than MSNBC when Obama was President.  Just another BS distraction.


Here is thing..


I didn't like Bill Clinton attacking Talk Radio
I didn't like Obama attacking Fox News
I don't like what Trump is doing with regards to the Media (except Fox News) in general.

Unless there is huge breaking news we just don't watch News Channels in our home anymore. This seems odd when I think back to a few years ago when our nightly TV watching routine had  FOX News on and least 2 hours each evening.  FOX got rid of the shows I liked, and what's left I can't stomach.

Same here. I used watch Fox News once and while. There is nothing more on Fox worth watching.

Actually, CNN is wrong, too.  It is Trump's job to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and see to it that the laws are faithfully executed.  I think representing the U.S. to the world is delegated to ambassadors.
