Following Monday&#8217;s interview with Elon Musk, former President Donald Trump garnered significant attention. Naturally, CNN\u2014known for its left-leaning bias\u2014felt compelled to undermine the momentum Trump had built. To achieve this, the network selectively edited a segment of the interview. According to CNN&#8217;s misleading edits, it appeared that both Musk and Trump downplayed the significance of the World War II bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n<p>The official social media account for Trump&#8217;s 2024 campaign responded on Tuesday by sharing the complete clip in its full context, demonstrating that neither individual made such claims. They highlighted how CNN had manipulated their conversation to suggest they trivialized these historic bombings when in fact they were discussing nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p>In an edited clip from CNN, Musk stated that &#8220;Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, but now they&#8217;re full cities again,&#8221; with Trump agreeing as Musk continued by saying it\u2019s &#8220;not as scary as people think.&#8221; This editing made it seem like they were minimizing two of history&#8217;s most devastating bombings.<\/p>\n<p>However, when viewed or listened to in its entirety, it&#8217;s clear that their discussion was focused on nuclear energy as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and addressed misconceptions about nuclear safety following incidents like Fukushima. Musk recounted how he reassured Californians about fears stemming from Japan\u2019s disaster by stating there was no real danger from Fukushima; he even visited and ate locally grown food on camera to demonstrate this point.<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s mention of Hiroshima and Nagasaki served only as evidence against the notion that nuclear fallout renders areas uninhabitable for extended periods. He and Trump did not imply that those bombings were insignificant at all. In response to CNN\u2019s distortion of their words, Trump&#8217;s campaign remarked simply: \u201cAll fake news does is lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s puzzling why CNN continues these tactics; surely they realize we are no longer in 2004 but rather 2024\u2014a time when their dishonesty is widely recognized and old media manipulation techniques have lost their effectiveness forever<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-vs-Bash.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[9373,32929,4250,3634],"class_list":["post-2324083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cnn","tag-dana-bash","tag-musk","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-vs-Bash.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
