Fox News channel media reporter Howard Kurtz took off the gloves in his condemnation of MSNBC for pushing Iran’s state-media propaganda and frightening families of service members following the dust up with the Middle Eastern nation.
Chris Matthews blindly reporting Iran’s propaganda that it had killed 30 American troops at a base in Iraq should come as no surprise. Nicholas Fondacaro of News Busters reports that the liberal leftist media has a long history of siding with Iran in making that regime look like victims of the United States. Here are just a few examples:
Harassing the U.S. Navy: The liberal media turned a blind eye when Iran endangered the lives of American sailors with its erratic ship maneuvers in the Strait of Hormuz. Much of this, which occurred during Obama administrated, went unreported by the mainstream media.
Taking Americans Hostage: When Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian became a victim to Iran’s targeting of Americans, NBC and ABC skipped that story choosing to focus on the weather instead. When American graduate student Xiyue Wang was sentenced to 10 years in prison, little was reported.
As Fondacaro points out, “The networks have willfully omitted and downplayed this terrible behavior from the radical regime for years … It’s really no wonder the public doesn’t trust the liberal media, especially when they’re playing footsie and sympathizing with our enemy.”
