CNN anchor Abby Phillip sounded the alarm on Thursday night over the White House’s efforts to punish the media for reporting on a preliminary intelligence assessment of the Iran military strikes represent a “slippery slope to the autocratic governing that Donald Trump claims to be against.”
Philip’s warning comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s fiery press conference on the effectiveness of “Operation Midnight Hammer,” which featured the one-time Fox News morning host assailing CNN and other news outlets – including a former Fox colleague – for covering an intel report that indicated the bombing raid on three underground facilities only set Iran’s nuclear program back a few months.
