A former speechwriter for President George W. Bush\u00a0said that President Trump\u2019s attacks on CNN\u2019s international bureau put journalists in danger.<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Frum, Bush speechwriter and senior editor at the Atlantic, tweeted Saturday that U.S.-affiliated journalists operating internationally depend on the U.S. government to protect them and their reporting, and that Trump jeopardizes that when he criticizes the network.<\/p>\n

\u201cInside the US, CNN\u2019s reporting is protected by the First Amendment and the courts,\u201d Frum tweeted. \u201cOutside the US, US-affiliated journalists do ultimately depend on the protection of the US government. Trump\u2019s words are a direct attack on those international journalists\u2019 freedom & even safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Trump has feuded with CNN consistently throughout his campaign and presidency, he intensified his attacks in a tweet Saturday that specifically targeted the network\u2019s international wing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
