@Flowermob dear god it really is The Onion meme https://theonion.com/fbi-uncovers-al-qaeda-plot-to-just-sit-back-and-enjoy-c-1819576375/

@Flowermob It's mid '26 and people are seriously still asking "why MSM doesn't..."?!

@ShnoofleBear it’s rhetorical and meant to shame them. Not sure it’s possible. But if it makes people cancel their subscription, I’ll take it as a win.

@Flowermob I think that this rhetorical question has been worn out to the extreme, and i daresay it didn't help.

At this point we should probably move to outright shaming the Marionette State Media directly for their complicity.

@ShnoofleBear you are welcome to your opinion.

@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.

@tshirtman Truth is not propaganda and the MSM publishes all sorts of BS.

@tshirtman @Flowermob we’re long past the point where propaganda from Tehran has more credibility than propaganda from Washington.

@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).

@tshirtman @theothersimo I just resent the power that mainstream media has over America when there’s no accountability for the owners of said media. And I understand not publishing Iranian proclamations as is without editorializing to be important. It’s just that their prior failures have resulted in the situation. We find ourselves in because the MSM have been so dishonest for so long.

@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.

@wooramel @Flowermob Fearless leader looking for Sun Tzu to get war answers

@Flowermob literally the hypest shit I've seen all month

@Flowermob This is a music-related account, but honestly, music is art and art is political. As an American antifascist, I'm totally cool with the end of the USA. Good riddance. No leftists want it to survive, I can tell you that. So really, the only people LAMENTING what Trump has managed to do to the USA are centrist neoliberals and Democrats who think abolishing ICE, police, the Senate, capitalism, and the military apparatus; taxing wealth to provide homes and medicine and food is all CRAZY.

@Flowermob I mean, he is right. PAEDOonald probably will kill himself in the most stupid way he can. So, why waste missiles or bullets?

@Flowermob Strategically, Iran's interest isn't in "decapitation" or even in "election influence." It is in turning the screws tight enough that military compulsion will not be attempted in the future. It doesn't matter who sits in the big chair, their counterpart is the now and future US.
