Israel-Iran War

On CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, commentator Scott Jennings mocked a Democrat for suggesting Iran wasn't a threat by using the phrase "fiery but mostly peaceful Iranian butchers." The Democrat was new CNN pundit Xochitl Hinojosa, who was until recently a spokesperson at Biden's Department of Justice.

Over the course of this second Trump administration, the legacy media selected several poster children for immigration before settling on alleged MS-13 ganbanger and accused human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The first of these, though, was Columbia student agitator Mahmoud Khalil- who spent the past several months in ICE custody and was turned into a cause celébre. Now that he’s…

Media reaction to news of the U.S. bombing of critical Iranian nuclear sites was mixed at best, as evidenced by initial Saturday night coverage. Below is a compendium of some of those reactions, which ranged from plain goofy to outright awful. 

The media are trying to collect themselves in the immediate aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer- the U.S. mission to destroy critical Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow. As we see on CBS’s Face the Nation, some have decided to do the same old thing as always and get wrecked for their efforts.

Speaking with Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin suggests that Benjamin Netanyahu "dog-walked" President Trump into attacking Iran.

Minutes after President Trump announced that U.S. airmen had safely left Iranian airspace following successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapon enrichment facilities Saturday night, CNN’s Clarissa Ward took to CNN Newsroom to gripe about how Trump threw a “curveball” into the plans of European leaders who wanted to negotiate with the regime. She went further and suggested that…

Hop in the time capsule and set the calendar for the 1930’s. Specifically set the date for September 21, 1930 and then pick up the New York Times. Here’s the headline in the Times that day, replete with the Times-provided capital letters. 

President Trump recently announced that he would give Iran two weeks to agree to a diplomatic solution on its nuclear program before considering whether or not to join Israel’s campaign against it. On Friday’s edition of NBC Nightly News, Andrea Mitchell platformed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to trash the idea.

If one were only to watch Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour, they would come away with the impression that “rotten” political rhetoric is mainly a right-wing phenomenon. Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart went so far as to claim Republicans are afraid “of being human” on the matter.

Friday’s CBS Mornings rightfully touted the successful evacuation of Americans trapped in Israel through the efforts of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a headline you would expect would be getting more attention. However, their broadcast network competitors ignored the story entirely. Rather than cover real news, particularly news that would paint a Republican governor in a positive…

As President Trump continues to consider his options on whether or not to join Israel’s campaign against Iran, Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast host Jon Stewart expressed confusion on Thursday on why Israel doesn’t just accept that we live in a world full of risk.

Washington Post journalist Evan Hill let his biases show in a dangerous way Thursday in a series of posts covering damages in Israel following Iranian bombing. While other reporters might show their bias through one-sided stories or fake news, Hill’s X posts could ultimately cost people their lives, all because he decided to share the precise coordinates of the Iranian missile strike…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

On Wednesday night, MSNBC’s: The Briefing With Jen Psaki, had some absolutely egregious takes. Psaki used a Rolling Stone article to claim that President Trump had been making most foreign policy decisions on Iran based off of what he saw on Fox News. Yes, according to MSNBC, the president of the United States, a country with the strongest intelligence agency known to mankind…
