Trump delivered a stunning admission live on CNN’s own airwaves Sunday, telling anchor Jake Tapper that his administration is actively working to steer the direction of the network, a statement that immediately set off alarm bells about press freedom in America.
“We’re trying to have CNN go on a normal path, and we’ll do that,” he said. A sitting president, on live national television, openly stating that he is working to control the coverage of an American news network. And instead of pushing back, Tapper thanked him. “Well, I’m on a normal path right here, sir, and I appreciate your time. And thank you for calling in,” Tapper replied.
