US President Donald Trump's favourite time-pass activity is bashing Democrats and the moderate wing of his Republican Party and also accusing the mainstream media of peddling fake news.
He did the same on Sunday, when he alleged CNN international of not correctly portraying news of US to the world.
Check out the responses below:
.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!

CNN international was prompt in replying back.
It's not CNN's job to represent the U.S to the world. That's yours. Our job is to report the news. #FactsFirst

The reply instantly got praised by Twitter users.
Wow @CNN . Awesome response. Now you might try actually doing that.

Brilliant response! Too Bad Trump is our POTUS. He’s an embarrassment to the office. #Factsmatter #Resist

Several of CNN's top journalists also entered the fray. "Thinking about @cnni and my brave and hard-working colleagues there who cover famines and wars and politics and terrorism and everything else. Amazing men and women, thank you for your continued excellence," tweeted Jake Tapper, a popular CNN anchor.
"@realDonaldTrump My @CNNi & @CNN colleagues regularly risk their lives in #Syria #Iraq #Afghanistan #Niger and beyond, following US Troops into war-zones, chronicling natural disasters, holding dictators to account & profiling everyday heroes," tweeted Jon Sciutto, CNN s national security correspondent.
Interestingly, for consecutive two days Trump has been called out on Twitter by major American brands. On Friday, Trump had claimed that he turned down Time Magazine's offer for a photoshoot for their Person of the Year edition. However, Times was prompt to deny the report. Also Trump's tweet spawned a new joke format. Well with US President's Twitter habits, there is no dull day on the social media.
