Another potential explosive device addressed to CNN has been intercepted, as Donald Trump escalated his attack on the media.

Following a week of violence, Mr Trump said "fraudulent" reporting was contributing to anger in the country and declared that the press was the "true Enemy of the People."

The US president tweeted: "There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news." He added that the media "must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly."

The president's comments came after a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue that left 11 dead and a mail bomb scare targeting Democrats and CNN. The violence rattled a deeply divided nation and prompted questions about whether Mr Trump should tone done his rhetoric.

It comes as CNN said on Monday that another suspicious package addressed to the cable news network was intercepted at an Atlanta post office.
