Iran

The New Yorker contributor Ruth Marcus joined Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour to recap the week’s news that focused heavily on the Middle East. During a discussion about a potential nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, Marcus rewound roughly 50 years to the 1970s and claimed that the reason why the U.S. finds itself in a difficult situation with Iran today is because it made a similar deal with…

Many Americans disapprove of the war in Iran, but only the most unrealistic and TDS-afflicted would want a fake court to investigate the President for his social media posts. As crazy as that sounds, Catherine Rampell, the substitute teacher of MS NOW, did exactly that when she filled in for Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday’s episode of The Last Word.

As the war with Iran picks back up in its intensity, NBC’s Seth Meyers falsely declared on Wednesday’s episode of Late Night that President Trump is bragging about his war crimes in public like a game show host. At the same time, Meyers refused to call Iran’s actual war crimes what they are.

The Los Angeles Times recently published a “News Analysis” headlined: “Trump, long a critic of ‘forever wars,’ may be stumbling into one with Iran.” The analysis offers legitimate grounds for criticizing President Donald Trump. He has described the objectives of the war against Iran in different ways. He has made changing predictions about its duration.

Morning Jo"more powerful than they've ever been." Contributing editor at the Financial Times Kim Ghattas, speaking with Scarborough, acknowledged that while Iran may appear to hold the upper hand with actions like threatening the Strait of Hormuz and inflicting casualties, the reality on the ground tells a different story. “They also feel quite stuck,” Ghattas said, reading the tea leaves from…

With military operations kicking back up in Iran, ABC chief international correspondent James Longman joined Friday’s World News Tonight to play up the possibility that U.S. has committed, or is about to commit, war crimes.

On Monday, while taking questions on Iran in the Oval Office, President Trump, following a question from CNN's Kaitlan Collins, attacked the media, specifically calling out CNN as "fake news", and accusing them and others, of not wanting to see the U.S. win the war. When the presser ended, CNN's Jake Tapper referenced what the President had said, calling it "lies", but if you were tuned into…

A former Trump critic from the American liberal billionaire class has come full circle and turned his crosshairs onto the media for being so afflicted with TDS that they have no problem lying to the public about the president regardless of the facts.

Late Monday afternoon in the Oval Office, President Trump took questions from the media regarding his announcement that another U.S. military strike on Iran would take place later that night. CNN's Kaitlin Collins managed to ask two questions from the time CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper picked up coverage, late into the first hour of his show, in time to catch Trump rip CNN as "fake news",…

Don’t believe your lying eyes! CNN tried every narrative trick in the book to pre-spin the blockbuster June inflation numbers before anybody even knew what the data was going to say.

Last Friday, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had given orders to the U.S. Military to “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran” if he’s assassinated, which Iran has threatened to do many times. On Monday’s episode of MS NOW’s The Last Word, host Lawrence O’Donnell spun Trump’s post on a technicality, implying that, should they succeed in assassinating the…

The PBS News Hour marked its 50th anniversary last year (and the show’s first year deprived of taxpayer funding) with a clip package of its coverage of various historical events, while declaring the program had traditionally strove to be “even-handed to a fault.” If that was ever true, the current version of the show, co-anchored by Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz, certainly can’t make that claim…

Tensions with Iran remain high, but on Saturday's edition of MS NOW’s The Weekend, former MSNBC analyst turned Obama State Department official turned MS NOW analyst Richard Stengel found the real villain: President Trump’s blunt deterrent threat. Stengel’s verdict? That amounts to “threatening genocide.” He called it “more than unseemly” for an American president to issue a threat “in case he’…

The Wall Street Journal reported Israel shared intelligence with the U.S. that Iran had a new plan to assassinate President Trump, and CNN's online story heavily underlined some intelligence pros are "always skeptical are always skeptical" of Israel. CNN's Wolf Blitzer made it a major part of his coverage of the story Friday on The Situation Room.
