Political science professor and host of PBS' "Ivory Tower" program, Nina Moore, proved that she could push back on statements from her fellow academics at the roundtable when she wanted to. When Israel was slandered by Professor Anirban Acharya, Moore said nothing.
The Wall Street Journal's obituary for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei erased his regime's brutal repression of women, instead lauding it for boosting female literacy rates, and whitewashed its bloody fueling of conflict and terror as a defensive posture.
EFE's and RTVE's preoccupation with defending themselves against false accusations of passing off old Kabul images as current scenes from Iran detracted from justified criticism of instances in which the mainstream Spanish news outlets provided less than rigorous reporting.
A lack of critical thinking has led major media outlets to resort to old canards and conspiratorial thinking instead of geopolitics, regional dynamics, allies and assassination attempts when analyzing why the U.S. initiated military action against Iran.
