THREAD

1)
White House @PressSec @KayleighMcenany raised a very important issue about various outlets in mainstream media.

This thread sheds light on the fact that MSM is also active in pushing the talking points of #Iran’s regime.
2)
CNN is a mouthpiece of Iran’s regime
-inviting chief Tehran lobbyist @tparsi
-saying Iran's “small steps” actually "make sense"
-blaming everything on Trump
-expressing outrage over the terrorist-designation of the notorious Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)

Nov 9, 2018 – The Washington Post published a piece by a senior Iran-backed Houthis official (terrorist).

“Houthi leader: We want peace for Yemen, but Saudi airstrikes must stop”

Houthi flag: "Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse Upon Jews"
4)
Jan 4, 2020 – The New York Times published a piece by known Iran apologist @farnazfassihi

“Iranians Close Ranks Behind Leaders After U.S. Kills Popular General”

Soleimani led militias that wreaked havoc across the Middle East & killed U.S. soldiers.
5)
Dec 16, 2019 – Newsweek
“If Iran falls, ISIS rises again”

This was just one month after people across Iran rose against the mullahs. @khamenei_ir responded by ordering his thugs to open fire, killing over 1,500 protesters.
6)
Bloomberg has a series of pieces running Iran’s talking points written by @yarbatman, a known Tehran apologist/lobbyist who has close ties to Hamid Baeidinejad (@baeidinejad), Iran’s ambassador to the UK.
7)
July 1, 2019 - NYT’s blind hatred of U.S. President Donald Trump (Trump Derangement Syndrome) pressed this outlet to the point of defending Iran’s murderous mullahs acquiring nuclear weapons.
8)
More of NYT publishing Tehran’s talking points.

Compare them to tweets by @JZarif, known as Iran’s chief apologist.
9)
When NYT says “finding ways to contain such regimes” they are referring to appeasement.

Reminder:
Chamberlain appeased Hitler, leading to World War II & over 60 million dead.

Hitler was a dictator. Iran’s regime is also ruled by dictators.
10)
The New York Times could be the worst example of mainstream media parroting the talking points of Iran’s regime.

And there is good reason for that.
This outlet has direct ties to the regime in Tehran.
