Staff Reports
The ongoing saga of the media versus the Trump administration continued this week as CNN suggested that President Trump’s recent military action was less than successful. In a move that has become all too predictable, CNN seemed eager to discredit the achievements of the U.S. military by leaking a report claiming that the massive bombs used in the strikes didn’t work as intended. This naturally sparked a strong reaction from the White House and its allies, who were understandably quick to rebuff the claims.
Let’s break down what happened, according to reports from government officials. Seven B-2 bombers flew halfway across the globe to deliver a whopping fourteen 30,000-pound bombs right into the heart of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The results, by all accounts except CNN’s, were nothing short of spectacular. The facilities were reportedly obliterated, with significant setbacks to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Not a single American life was lost in the operation. One might think this would be cause for celebration, but CNN believes otherwise.
Senator Ted Cruz, never one to mince words, laid out some truths that should be plain as day. There’s a persistent feeling that certain media outlets have never come to terms with Donald Trump’s presidency. Since 2017, it’s been like a bad reality show rerun with endless discussions trying to paint the president as nothing short of villainous. CNN’s latest stunt is just another episode in their ongoing saga of attempted character assassination, and frankly, it’s starting to get old. Is CNN scraping the bottom of the barrel to air accusations instead of applauding the defense of the nation?
Moreover, one needs to ask why, while American forces are performing magnificent feats abroad, there seems to be a faction that is more interested in positioning itself opposite the administration. The Democrats are spending time and effort trying to undermine what is arguably a pivotal moment in international security by seeking to disapprove of Trump’s strategies. Talk about misplaced priorities! Instead of uniting in the face of global threats, there appears to be a relentless pursuit of undermining the president.
Finally, let’s not forget the context of these actions. When hostile leaders are chanting “Death to America,” it’s essential that the United States shows it means business. The destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities is not just an act of support for allies like Israel; it’s crucial for U.S. national security. Iran’s intent to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles presents a real and present danger. Yet, despite this clear and decisive action by the president to protect American lives, there’s a portion of the media and the political landscape that struggles to cheer a victory for national security. How perplexing and disappointing.
