FCC boss Brendan Carr said CNN must face ‘accountability’ for a report he claims is inaccurate without providing evidence

Donald Trump fired off a seething threat against CNN Tuesday night in response to its reporting Iran had claimed a “great victory” over the U.S. following the president’s announcement to delay his ceasefire deadline by two weeks.

Trump had originally given Iran until 8 p.m. ET Tuesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning a refusal would mean a “whole civilization will die.”

Around 90 minutes before that deadline, Trump and the White House released statements saying the U.S. and Iran had agreed to negotiate an end to hostilities that would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the suspension of fighting for two weeks.

Following the announcement, CNN published a post to its online live blog detailing the Iranian response.

    Oh, and Israel gets to keep bombing Lebanon.

    About that. Iran and Pakistan have said, contrarily to what Israel claims, that the ceasefire includes Lebanon and applies to the US and all US allies. Soo, I guess we’re about to see whether Trump will put the ceasefire talks in jeopardy to continue being Israels bitch or is he desperate enough to throw Israel under the bus just to get out of this massive fuckup he himself created.

      I think we all know which way that’s gonna go. But, hey, maybe we could all be surprised?
