The New York Times responded defiantly to a demand from President Trump's lawyer for retraction of a report on Iranian nuclear sites after the U.S. bombings. The article, based on a Pentagon assessment, stated that Trump's actions only delayed Iran's nuclear program temporarily, contradicting Trump's assertions. The Times' deputy general counsel stated no retraction or apology would be made, affirming their commitment to truth in reporting. Trump's lawyer labeled the article false and unpatriotic. CNN also defended its reporting amid Trump's public outcry against both outlets, emphasizing their commitment to journalistic integrity.
We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so.
We stand 100% behind Natasha Bertrand's journalism and specifically her and her colleagues' reporting of the early intelligence assessment of the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
