Ask yourself: Is the media the friend of the people?
All the Iranian Propaganda That's Fit to Print
Think WaPo couldn't be one-upped for their Baghdadi was an "austere scholar" with "canny pragmatism""?

@nytimes: Soleimani was a "larger-than-life hero," "his asceticism and quiet charisma joined to create an image of a warrior-philosopher"

I can't believe we're seriously having this discussion

Does the media not care that an American was killed?

President Trump drew a red line. He enforced it. End of story.

It simultaneously is true that Soleimani was preparing more attacks. He just tried to siege our embassy!
Why is the name Nawres Hamid virtually absent from CNN and MSNBC's coverage of the strike against Soleimani?
Literally ZERO results

The media doesn't care

Zero results for Nawres Hamid, the American contractor killed by Soleimani on Dec 27th, in CNN, MSNBC, or NYT

(The only NYT result is an AP story)

The era of weak American foreign policy is OVER

Reminder of how Democrats treat our enemies:

They thank Iran for holding 10 U.S. sailors at gunpoint.

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Democrats send billions in cash payments to the world's leading state-sponsor of terror

That money is then traced to Iran-backed terrorists

Democrats let terrorist groups "off the hook" to run multi-ton loads of cocaine into the United States, and launder hundreds of millions of dollars

@LizRNC
In 2011 the entire Senate, Republicans and Democrats alike, cosponsored a resolution commending Obama for killing Bin Laden

This resolution is worded EXACTLY the same. Are Democrats capable of commending @realDonaldTrump?
foxnews.com/politics/ted-c…
Welp, Iran's state run media is running Democrat talking points so doesn't look like it

UPDATE: No, Democrats are not capable of honoring American military and intelligence community members who helped conduct the raid that killed a terrorist monster

Why?

Because @realDonaldTrump made the call

Democrats are so blinded by their hate!

Fascinating details in this report with #Baghdadi's brother-in-law about the hunt to the ISIS leader. Interesting insights on how ISIS used sheep herders to move around, and how these shepherds ended up stealing about $70m from an ISIS hideout:

Thread:
July 2019, Iraqi National Intelligence Service intercepts a person by the name of Mohammed Ali Sajet al-Zoubai, Baghdadi’s brother-in-law & close aide. He crossed into Iraq and was traveling under “Othman Ahmed Farhan.
He‘d been tracked for a month after he entered the Iraqi borders. Within a month, he was captured as he entered Baghdad wearing his suicide belt, carrying a message to cells in the capital.

Well. I hate to say it but.... I fucking told you so.

Islamic State group announces successor to al-Baghdadi -- and he's Quraysh.

apnews.com/808e1f546b9c48…
Here's the thing. #Baghdadi's replacement, like I've been saying (and unlike Trump), is not ONE person but multiple candidates waiting in the wings.

I hate hate hate to be correct about this because it is NOT a positive sign -- but the successor announced is also Qurayshi.
Al-Furqan announced it (ISIS media), and refers to the new caliph as 'Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.'

That's about all we know.

And guess what?

I hate to say it, but if reported death of #Baghdadi is true (by suicide blast or Special Ops), it’s hardly the end of ISIS.

ISIS isn’t structured like Al Qaeda; ISIS’ organization was intended to be resilient in the event of decapitation strikes.

Regrouping won’t be as hard.
ISIS learned from Al Qaeda’s missteps - a network structure overly reliant on a singular charismatic figurehead like Bin Laden.

Post-Afghanistan, OBL was marginalized (in hiding); the Iraq war allowed (a new) Al Qaeda to regroup.

Baghdadi’s, sadly, death isn’t a game-changer.
*Baghdadi’s death, sadly, won’t be a game changer.

THE THEORY OF PROPAGANDIST & MODUS OPERANDI

A person who disseminates propaganda is a propagandist.

Propaganda itself is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view....That's what GOOGLE says, & I agree.
Look at that picture again:

Picture A: BREAKING NEWS...A vehicle ALMOST crushes a smart phone.

Picture B: BREAKING NEWS...A vehicle crushes a smart phone.

Picture C: BREAKING NEWS...Smart phone survives the accident.

Picture D: BREAKING NEWS....PROPAGANDA ACCOMPLISHED!🕺🕺🤪
Truth about PICTURE A: Vehicle did not ALMOST crush any smart phone.

Truth about PICTURE B: Vehicle did not crush any smart phone.

Truth about PICTURE C: Smart phone did not SURVIVE any accident.

Truth about PICTURE D: There was NO VEHICLE in the first instance.

“What the agency does not report, does not take place” truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom…
Most of international news coverage in Western #media is provided by three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris. The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording
«The central role of news agencies also explains why, in geopolitical conflicts, most #media use the same original sources. In the Syrian war, for example, the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” – a dubious one-man organization based in London – featured prominently»

1) Here is an op-ed attacking free speech, but it has some good content and I think we should talk about it. bigleaguepolitics.com/media-matters-…
2) The op ed is embedded in an analysis by @bigleaguepol but if you want to see just the video go here:
3) The title of this video op-ed is: “How The Far-Right Is Dividing Americans With Social Media.”

It is published by “Now This” and features Melissa Ryan, “Editor, Ctrl-Alt-Delete” and a “Visiting Fellow, Media Matters.”
