Questions for @nytimes
If they are all "protesters" in #Iraq, why do some carry the Iraqi flag while others carry flags of #Iran-backed militias?
How come 500 were killed trying to enter the Green Zone for the past 3 months, while militia members reached the US Embassy in 1 day?

@nytimes .@nytimes proves once again that #FakeNews is truly the enemy of the people.

This outlet is literally going the distance in describing #Iran-backed militia members/supporters who attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad as "mourners" & "protesters".

Shame on you, NYT!

@nytimes .@washingtonpost also joins the show.

Describing #Iran-backed militia members/supporters who attacked the U.S. Embassy as "protesters" is a severe insult to the 500 true Iraqi protesters killed & 20,000+ wounded during the past 3 months... by these very militia members.

@nytimes @washingtonpost Attention @nytimes & @washingtonpost

THESE are Iraqi protesters.

Not those members & supporters of #Iran-backed militias that you described as "protesters" & "mourners".
