@Flowermob @theothersimo yeah, that i agree more with, though independent media also has its problems, the MSM does mute things and give more space to things that are ridiculously unimportant in comparison.

@theothersimo @Flowermob i agree, but that doesn't mean that what the Iranian government says has to be reported without precaution, and while i do agree that trump is causing immense damage to US prestige, including the army (which went from "most feared army in the world" to "most expensive army to regularly get its ass handed to itself" in perception), it's clear that the words a minister of a country you are at war with, about your government, have more intent than just what they say, making headlines of them can be irresponsible.
I also can't help but think they fear retribution from the state if they give it too much visibility, but it's not the only reason, there is a more legitimate one, whatever i think of the trump administration (and i think it's terrible, again, i want to be very clear).
@Flowermob i have no sympathy for either regime, and think the US is losing this war and it's this admin's fault for creating this mess in the least competent way possible, BUT, it does make sense that journos would not give air to propaganda, because that's what it is.
