Iran

The repellent coordinated terrorist attacks Saturday by Hamas on the state of Israel on Saturday, targeting both soldiers and citizens for rape and murder and kidnapping. But in its ongoing live coverage the New York Times consistently refused to call the Hamas terrorists, using the less dramatic word “militants,” which is standard practice for the paper. It’s the same word…

On CNN's State of the Union, host Dana Bash conducts a toadying interview of Secretary of State Tony Blinken regarding the Hamas attack on Israel. She lets NSA Jake Sullivan off the hook for recently bragging that the Middle East is quieter than it's been in decades, and that he spends less time on it than any of his predecessors in 20 years. And Bash virtually apologizes to Blinken for asking…

On Sunday, the day after the horrific and unprovoked terrorist attacks by Hamas against the state of Israel, the Biden administration's surrogates in the media have begun circling the wagons around the president and pretending that the $6 billion he provided Iran didn't embolden Hamas's reign of terror. The latest evidence of this came during NBC's Meet the Press when moderator…

During Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate, the various reporters at The New York Times assembled to fact-check the various candidates and it did go well as they attacked them everything from “Joe Biden hides in his basement” to Iran to energy to transgenderism.

Jay Solomon over at Semafor is out with a piece that details how the Iranian Foreign Ministry worked closely with a bunch of American and European academics to help sell the Iran nuclear deal back in 2014 by repeating Tehran’s lines. Members of the group, dubbed the Iran Experts Initiative, were frequent sources for media outlets before and after the deal was signed in 2015.

NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie has developed a surprisingly strong track for grilling Biden administration officials when they make the rounds of the broadcast network morning news shows, particularly on foreign policy. Wednesday’s show featured at least the seventh installment as she respectfully hammered Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Iran, Ukraine, and the alliance…

Chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour joined Tuesday’s CNN This Morning to celebrate her 40 years at the network as well as to discuss current foreign policy issues including the Biden Administration’s $6 billion hostage bribe to Iran, which for her and co-host Poppy Harlow is no big deal because it “is Iranian money” and shows conservatives are hypocrites.

Eight years ago this week, the liberal media touted the “major victory” of President Obama’s “historic” deal with Iran that would supposedly limit the terrorist state’s access to nuclear weapons for at least a decade.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid had some gloomy and hysterical predictions for what the future holds if America elects “toy-sized Mussolini Ron DeSantis” in 2024 on Tuesday’s installment of The ReidOut. As Reid tells it if DeSantis were to become president, America would turn into “China, Cuba, North Korea, Afghanistan, or Iran.”

CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert commemorated International Women’s Day on Wednesday by lamenting the state of women’s rights around the world including in Iran, Afghanistan, and the United States. For the Catholic Colbert, the downfall of Roe v. Wade means that Justice Samuel Alito is just as much of a “turd” as the Taliban.

Hillary Clinton joined PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Thursday to preview the Clinton Presidential Center’s upcoming summit on the status of women’s rights around the world. For the former Secretary of State, the state of women’s rights in Iran, in Afghanistan under the Taliban, and in Ukraine where Russian soldiers use rape as a weapon is analogous to Arkansas, where pro-lifers run…

In a truly puzzling piece of clickbait, Washington Post columnist Jason Rezaian -- who reported from Tehran for the Post until he was taken hostage by Iran for 544 days -- proclaimed he was rooting for Iran to beat the USA in the World Cup soccer tournament....since it would keep the focus on Iran's dismal human-rights record. But Iranian dissidents were rooting for the USA! 

Where are the American feminists and “progressives” when we need them? You know, the men-versus-women, pro-abortion types who say things like the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents “men wanting to tell women what to do with their bodies”? Last month, on Sept. 16, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman living in Iran, died in a hospital three days after being arrested in Tehran by the state’…

Injustice in Iran provoked AOC to come close to criticizing radical Islam as oppressive for women. But she couldn’t quite get there and fell back on her usual woke pablum.
