Followed in mere hours by Trump tweet...

".@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!"

Coincidence ? I doubt it very much. By the way...CNN INTERNATIONAL is the Gold Standard for journalism around the world. They have journalists in every country who have risked their lives to deliver factual reporting. I specifically thought they were outstanding in Syria.

This along with "rumors" our President has been overheard that he would like to see Fox as our "state news" A rumor I will remind you, but sadly, it has a readable ring to it.
I think the tweet by our President TO THE WORLD is significant......

"These are ominous words. Inside the U.S., CNN’s reporting is protected by the First Amendment and the courts. Outside of the country, U.S.-affiliated journalists do ultimately depend on the protection of the U.S. government. Trump’s tweet is a direct attack on those international journalists' freedom and even safety. Trump is inviting rogue regimes and other bad actors all over the world to harass CNN journalists—or worse. "
