The Iranian regime is using schools and other civilian areas for military purposes just like its proxy Hamas. A new Shi'ite terror group popped up seemingly overnight after claiming responsibility for three anti-Jewish attacks in Europe. The record-breaking sale of Israeli cybersecurity company "Wiz" to Google required outside-the-box financial planning by Israel.
CNN's reports about Iran have amplified the Islamic Regime's propaganda. Interestingly enough, the outlet became the first U.S. network to enter the country following the start of the war, a privilege that remained entirely dependent on the permission of the Iranian government. But has that privilege come at the cost of journalistic freedom and unbiased coverage?
It’s extremely dispiriting that, with all Max Hastings’ erudition, he nonetheless succumbed to mind-numbingly banal cliches and ahistorical arguments about the root cause of violence and instability in the Middle East.
The BBC has shown in recent days that it is absolutely capable of drawing those lines, labelling potential propaganda, and clearly pushing back on guests making unverified claims when it comes to the Islamic Regime in Iran. It would seem that when the conflict involves Israel alone, as opposed to Israel and the US, the rules are applied somewhat differently.
Viewers of ABC News Live in the past 12 days may have thought they were watching Iranian State Media with the platforming of two Iranian regime mouthpieces, Trita Parsi (four times) and Negar Mortazavi, and no push back whatsoever by ABC.
The New York Times obituary of Ayatollah Khamenei did a reasonable job of describing his cruelty to his own people. But when it came to his pursuit of nuclear weapons, the Times dropped the ball and portrayed him as a victim.
AP shares without challenge propaganda from Mehr News Agency while also failing to disclose that its Iranian regime-controlled partner is owned by the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization.
It’s horribly dispiriting – particularly given the tsunami of antisemitism in Britain since the Oct. 7 massacre – that Telegraph editors not only allowed such a toxic trope to be published, but actually defended it.
CNN's access in Iran does not guarantee an unfiltered look inside the Iranian capital, especially when that access is granted by the Islamic Republic itself, CAMERA's Darcie Grunblatt writes in The Jerusalem Post as foreign correspondent Frederik Pleitgen adopts the regime's narrative portraying Iran as the victim of Western aggression.
