Iran

On Thursday, just a few days before the one year anniversary of President Trump almost being killed, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng and The Daily Show’s audience found great amusement in Iran’s recent threats to assassinate Trump, not so much because Chieng actually wants him dead, but because it gave them an opportunity to mock Trump’s physical appearance.

Washington Week with The Atlantic, public television’s taxpayer-funded weekly political roundtable featuring a rotating stable of journalists, touts itself as "objective.” But a review of the last three months of Washington Week (April 4, 2025 – June 27, 2025) proved Trump-phobic liberalism still reigns over the public airwaves: Republicans were covered negatively 93 percent…

The Nation justice correspondent and frequent MSNBC talking head Elie Mystal appears to be in a competition with himself to see just how outrageous he can be. On June 28, he joined The Joy Reid Show podcast to claim “our country needs to be sanctioned” because “we are the bad guys on the world stage” after President Trump ordered strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

On Tuesday, in what it labeled an “exclusive,” CNN reported that initial intelligence assessments of the Iran bombing suggested Iran had been set back a couple of months in its quest for a nuclear weapon. The report’s lead reporter was Natasha Bertrand. In 2020, Bertrand played a lead role in attempting to discredit reports of Hunter Biden’s laptop. One cannot understand the new report without…

On Sept. 11, 2001, Muslim fanatics flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing upward of 3,000 innocent American civilians. Americans asked why? We ask again today. We hear from the Iranian regime, “Death to America,” “Death to Israel.” Why? The unfortunate answer is, for the fanatics in Iran, our very existence is sufficient reason for them to serve up a death sentence.…

CBS sent foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab to Iran for a Friday report on Evening News that was ostensibly about getting Iranian reactions to the recent war with Israel but in reality was just an uncritical regurgitation of regime propaganda.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show may have had the week off, but its podcast, The Weekly Show, did not. On Wednesday, Jon Stewart claimed that the Trump Administration reacted angrily to assessments that suggest the B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities weren’t as successful as advertised not because they were wrong or had obvious problems, but because “they demand 100…

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had one of her strongest briefings yet Thursday afternoon as she launched one scathing broadside after another at the liberal media for their anonymously sourced stories falsely claiming the weekend U.S. military airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites were a failure, calling these “agenda-driven leaks” and “fake and false narratives” led by CNN’s Deep…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth left CNN seething with rage Thursday morning as he took to the Pentagon press room and, standing next to Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, tore the liberal media a new one for this days-long disinformation campaign using anonymous sources to falsely claim U.S. intelligence has determined the weekend airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites were a massive…

Factcheck.org may not have a truth-o-meter like PolitiFact or a Pinocchio scale like The Washington Post, but their Tuesday article by Alan Jaffe still claimed that President Trump was false in saying that the B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities “obliterated” their program. One of Jaffe's main points of evidence was the fate of Iran's centrifuges, but even his own selected expert…

On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s The Briefing With Jen Psaki, regurgitated the same unreliable, CNN article that claimed the U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities “only set them back by a few months.” Psaki even went as far as to say that Trump was always “about obfuscation and defiance being prioritized over facts.” Yes, Jen Psaki was the one who said this.

Bias by omission was highlighted Monday and Tuesday as CBS Evening News Plus and Fox News’s Hannity covered the 11 Iranians arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week, while ABC and NBC did not touch the subject on their lead morning and evening shows.  

CNN is the latest to suffer from the utter humiliation of prophesying Armageddon-level economic catastrophe as a result of President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran, only to have their predictions collapse faster than Biden on the steps of Air Force One. 

CNN hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory on the Israel-Iran War, but on Tuesday, former MSNBC rabble-rouser Joy Reid had a hot take so insane that even NewsNight host Abby Phillip had to rebuke her. According to Reid, the only reason why Iran wants a nuclear weapon is because Israel is attacking it in the first place.
