‘You make Prez Trump look bad’: Leavitt goes scorched earth on CNN over coverage of US troops’ death

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lashes out at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins over how the media reports the deaths of U.S. troops in the Iran war, accusing CNN of bias against Trump. The heated exchange unfolded during a press briefing after Collins pressed Leavitt on Pentagon comments about troop casualties making the president “look bad.” Leavitt defended the administration’s stance and argued the press should also highlight military successes like Operation Epic Fury. The clash underscores growing tension between the White House and major news networks over Iraq/Iran coverage and political narratives.
