Trump on CNN and the New York Times: "If you see CNN, you'd think [Iran's] winning the war. If you read the New York Times, it's actually seditious in my opinion." This is full authoritarian playbook. Reality doesn't matter. Only the narrative matters. Disagree with the leader's version of events and you're the enemy. Media reporting facts that contradict the official line isn't journalism, it's treason. We've seen this before. Doesn't end well.
