CNN was accused of pushing out “pro-Iran regime propaganda” by the Trump administration Thursday after a reporter for the network said it appeared daily life was continuing despite the ongoing war.
Senior international correspondent Frederik Pleitgen said during a segment that all the shelves in shops are stocked, “even with fresh things,” as he casually held a cup of coffee.
“Fuel seems readily available and you just don’t see any degree of panic anywhere,” he said.
Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson who slammed Pleitgen’s 30-second report.
“CNN appears to now be doing straight up pro-Iran regime propaganda because someone gave this guy a coffee…” he wrote on X.
