Donald Trump's attacks on broadcaster CNN are an "an outrageous assault" on freedom of speech, according to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director Michael Hayden.

“If this is who we are or who we are becoming, I have wasted 40 years of my life,” the former spy chief, who now works as a national security analyst for the broadcaster, said in a Twitter post.

General Hayden, who is also a former director of the National Surveillance Agency (NSA), added: "Until now it was not possible for me to conceive of an American President capable of such an outrageous assault on truth, a free press or the first amendment."

Another Obama general who had zero problem with the corruption and anti Constitutional actions of Obama. Hayden’s credibility with real Americans is zero.

Since when are we as citizens forbidden to criticize the media? Oh, they can do no wrong and everything they say is true?

Ask the bust of MLK if he ever heard of fake news.

In fact, we need much more criticism of the media. Especially when they have publicly aligned themselves with a political party.

Trump has the right to criticize, not to shut down but to scream about their bias for as loud and as long as possible.

It’s true, swamps get a bum rap, except in popular culture, they more or less represent a sewer.

“This guy has no idea what the first amendment really represents.”

Retired 4-stars, who live their whole lives on base (often for generations), do the same thing on the Second Amendment all the time.

If 95% of the so called Journalists in this Country were Conservatives / Republicans instead of what they are today, Democrats / Liberals, would be reading stories like this?

Like I’ve said before, if the Illegals who cross the Southern Border came here and Voted Republican instead of Democrat, then President Bill Clinton would have built a 100 foot tall Border Wall with Machine Gun Towers, Mine Fields and Alligator filled Moats.

It would have made the Korean DMZ look like Disneyland.

Yeah, a lot of those years were wasted.

Not sure if the 2011 gala falls into that category.

At least your date looked nice.

Also, those years on That Seventies Show.

They couldn't have been a total waste.

Exactly. Why would a retired military be an expert on criticism of the media?


He’s paid to criticize Trump. His job title is just meant to give gravitas to the smears.

Jeremiah Denton and Bull Halsey must be spinning in their graves watching what has become of the Navy; Curtis LeMay the same with the Air Force.
