Relations between Donald Trump and American media have always been strong. Especially when journalists criticize Trump in intelligence or military matters, they come down on personal attacks.
Recently the US had an air attack on some nuclear bases in Iran. It was described as a big success in the government statement, but CNN reporter Natasha Burtrand and his team reported that Iran may not have been as much damage as it is being claimed. Trump's anger erupted on this matter.
Trump even called Bertrand "false", fake news spreading and "patriotic pilots" on Truth Social. Not only this, he also demanded CNN to take away his job. Trump wrote in his post that Natasha Bertrand should be fired from CNN. I saw them spreading lies for three days. People like these are ruining CNN.

This is not the first time Natasha has come under the target of Trump. Even before this, the Trump administration has been uncomfortable with the reporting made on his intelligence cases. At the same time, CNN immediately issued a statement on this whole matter and openly supported Bertrand. CNN stated that he stands "100 percent" with Burtrand's reporting.
“We do not believe it is reasonable to criticize CNN reporters for accurately reporting the existence of the assessment and accurately characterizing its findings, which are in the public interest,” CNN wrote in statement.

The White House on Thursday publicly attacked CNN journalist Natasha Burtrand, saying, "They should be ashamed of themselves, not reporting." Press Secretary Caroline Levit accused Burtrand for about two minutes during the White House press briefing, and accused the CNN reporter of publishing a "false story" and holding a history of giving false information. "This is a reporter that unfortunately in this government has been used by people who dislike Donald Trump to pursue fake and false stories."
