cretin's like the orange man can't stand opposition and that gives us results like this;
As the unconstitutional war against Iran enters its third week, President Donald Trump has declared that U.S. media outlets could face “charges for treason” for reporting what he called false information about the conflict. The threat came in a lengthy tirade on his Truth Social platform late Sunday. The president accused journalists of spreading fabricated stories about the conflict and amplifying Iranian propaganda.
The threat reflects a familiar wartime pattern, as truth is often the first casualty of war. Governments seek to control the narrative, and reporting that contradicts official claims quickly becomes suspect. In that environment, “fake news” can come to mean little more than news that challenges the government’s version of events.
Under U.S. law, treason carries the most severe penalties in the federal criminal code, including death. The Constitution narrowly defines the crime as levying war against the United States or aiding its enemies. Trump’s statement, therefore, placed his attack on the press within one of the gravest legal categories available to the government.
The president also praised his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr for warning that he could pull the broadcasting licenses of media outlets he accused of “running hoaxes and news distortions” in their Iran coverage.
War Reporting
Trump’s threats followed reporting by several outlets about Iranian strikes on U.S. assets. Trump specifically singled out The Wall Street Journal reporting that five U.S. Air Force refueling tankers had been struck during an Iranian missile attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia...........more..........
