president Donald Trump The latest Crusader campaign against the media focused on the CNN and the New York Times, but journalists say they are not annoyed despite the legal threats of the Supreme Commander.

Trump, who had a decades -old -time litigation history, launched major lawsuits last year against CBS News, ABC News, The Des Moines Record and Pulitzer Award Board, with the threat of other news organizations and correspondents suggest to reveal their sources about the strike in the United States on Iranian nuclear consequences.

“These days, the threats of the president have become a work as usual for journalists. It will not prevent us from performing our jobs,” said the White Petrus correspondent in the New York Times Fox News digital.

Trump CNN, the New York Times is following “fake news” about strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities

Trump has repeatedly criticized CNN and New York Times in recent days to inform him of what he called “fake news” about the American strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, with reports from both competitors indicating that they have effectively destroyed the country’s nuclear programs. A personal lawyer for the president called the “Times newspaper” to report “false”, “defamation” and “non -national”, while threatening to take legal measures. He also threatened to sue CNN for its reports.

“He does not affect my daily,” CNN journalist told Fox News Digital.

While Trump told the host on Sunday morning, Maria Barteromo, that he wanted to see a trial for an early intelligence leakage in the United States used by CNN and The Times, Baker believes that covering the strike on Iran was very important.

Baker added, directing the Fox News Digital to one of the first vice presidents of adults, who is the main lawyer in the newsroom, who held the position of the main lawyer in the newsroom, who held last week.

“It is a good summary from our point of view,” Baker said.

Makau dropped the idea that any apology or retreating on the horizon said that the Americans deserve to know whether the attack on Iran was successful.

“We rely on our intelligence services to provide a kind of neutral assessment that we all need in democracy to judge the foreign policy of our country and the quality of our leaders’ decisions. It will be irreplaceable to put a news organization to repress that information and deprive the public of the right to hear it.” “We have said the truth to our best. We will continue to do so.”

Meanwhile, Trump scored a victory in A lawsuit against CBS News Late Tuesday night, when Paramount Global settled up to $ 16 million. This amount will cover the legal fees, the costs of the case and contributions in his library or charitable reasons, according to Trump’s discretion. There is an expectation that there will be another allocation in the mid -eight -year numbers dedicated to ads, public service ads, or other similar transmitters, to support the preservation reasons by the network, according to Fox News Digital.

“60 minutes”, the former Scott Billy correspondent, said that the settlement will be “very harmful to CBS, to Plarmount, for the reputation of those companies.” Other CBS journalists, such as Leslie StallThey were strongly against a settlement.

“Opinion unanimously in” 60 minutes “is that there should not be a settlement, and no money is paid, because the lawsuit is the full bulls —” one of the old warriors “60 minutes” said the Fox News Digital product last month.

However, Shari Redstone, the control of Paramount, who got rid of the settlement discussions in February, explained that she wanted to settle Trump’s suit in the hope of clearing the path to integrate Paramount with billions of dollars with Media Skydance, which needs approval from the Trump administration.

Trump also received $ 15 million from ABC last year to settle a lawsuit for the lawsuit that was filed when George Stefanopoulos, George Stefanopoulos, confirmed that he was “responsible for rape” in a civil case during a controversial interview with Representative Nancy Mass, in March.

In 2018, an investigation correspondent in the United States of America examined Nick Pinzzamter, what Trump called “I will sue you.”

“Threats can be effective” Written at that time. “Even the possibility of a lawsuit by a rich and strong opponent raises the ghost of years of expensive litigation and takes a long time.”

“60 minutes” producers against “bulls” from Trump, and “awe”

“Trump has shown that there is already barking his bite” over the past few years, and it will be wise for news organizations to try to try to be fair when the administration is covered.

“These media companies that have not been held accountable for bias will be pursued. He will file lawsuits in the south, where the media institutions in New York are in a non -favorable situation,” said the CEO of the media company told Fox News Digital.

“ABC and CBS were easy marks because its parent companies have more important businesses with Trump than the Gorge Stefanopoulos and Sakut Billy. “But they must prepare for an ugly battle presented in the Southern Court hall with embarrassing discoveries, judges and non -sympathetic jurisdictions.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump also nodded on Tuesday as Minister of Internal Security Christie sleep, she is working with the Ministry of Justice to see if CNN can be “prosecuted” in a recent segment on an application that tracks the ICE Agency website. CNN said there is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of an application.

CNN also stood, along with its reports on Iran, the strike.

“CNN stands alongside our comprehensive reports on early intelligence evaluation of recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which has since been confirmed by other news organizations. The White House has admitted the existence of the evaluation, and their statement is included in our story,” said a CNN News Digital spokesman.
