🧵here’s thing. on anything tangentially iran related, the opponents to this US admin are going to try make it politically toxic, 24/7, until the end of eternity. this admin has nothing to do with this zarif tape leak. still, it seems it would behoove it, to push back fast &hard

which, admittedly, since it has no forewarning what this thing is, would require basically having people doing it all the time. anyhow, result of not having that is, the story tonight is essentially kerry denies beating his wife. which is irritating and unfair. and stupid.
and i think the NYT among others had a probably inadvertent role on US side in making that the de facto headline and they should examine why that is.
almost as shameful and problematic as the NYT coverage of the Russian hacked/Wikileaks leaks of the Hillary Clinton emails nytimes.com/2021/04/26/us/…
the nyt should be ashamed of its coverage of this. and turning it into a kerry denies beating his wife.

they are dealing with another leak situation. they don’t know the motives of the leakers. and they are acting like it is just a click festorama whatever impact on the US politics and policy side. nytimes.com/2021/04/26/us/… did they learn anything?
