President Trump is continuing his sniping at one of his favorite targets — CNN.

But the network, or at least its public relations department, isn’t remaining silent.

On Saturday, Trump sent a tweet that again criticized CNN, although he also recognized the network’s international influence. “.@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’s public relations department had a response to @realDonaldTrump on Sunday morning:’’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 .’’

Trump didn’t immediately respond Sunday, although he earlier in the day had sent tweets in support of Roy Moore’s senate bid in Alabama.
