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.

    The US gained basically nothing

    You’re forgetting, though, that Trump changed the Epstein news cycle. So since Trump doesn’t understand the difference between him and the “US,” I’m sure he’d disagree with you.

      He may have shifted the new cycle temporarily, like with Venezuela, but people are still talking about it enough that it isn’t totally dead, and it’s about to come back and rear its ugly head once again. And thanks to Jimmy Kimmel repeating it nonstop, people are now starting to refer to it as the Trump-Epstein files, lol.
