CNN: 'Make No Mistake' Trump, 'CNN Does Not Lie'

CNN sprang to the defense of Carl Bernstein Wednesday after President Trump savaged him on Twitter, escalating a row over the veteran journalist's role in a disputed report alleging the president had prior knowledge of the controversial Trump Tower meeting. "Make no mistake, Mr. President, CNN does not lie. We report the news. And we report when people in power tell lies," communications staff for the cable news network tweeted. "CNN stands by our reporting and our reporters. There may be many fools in this story but @carlbernstein is not one of them." CNN's sharp rebuke follows Trump earlier lambasting of Bernstein for being “sloppy” and thinking like a “degenerate fool.” Bernstein helped uncover the Watergate scandal, which precipitated the resignation of former President Richard Nixon. "CNN is being torn apart from within based on their being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake," the president wrote online. "Sloppy @carlbernstein, a man who lives in the past and thinks like a degenerate fool, making up story after story, is being laughed at all over the country! Fake News."
