That was only the tip of the iceberg of the awful coverage of the death of Soleimani, the Iranian terrorist the media turned into something of a folk hero.
Bush’s approval rating got a big spike for every asinine foreign policy “win” of his presidency. The economy kept dragging Bush’s approval ratings down and so without those spikes Bush probably loses in 2004. Obama barely got a spike out of taking out OBL because the right wing media didn’t want Obama to get a “win”. Btw, Biden taking out al-Zawahiri was a much bigger deal than Sulemeini and you probably don’t even know about it!?!
The *right wing* does not control the media. Kinda the essence of this newsletter is to document how the mainstream media---which is all left-leaning or hard left---works, in aggregate, as the functional state news organ of the left.
People are free to immerse themselves into whatever echo chamber they desire in today’s America. So Substack is the devolution of the fracturing of the media which started with cable news in the 1980s. So I was characterizing the people that died of Covid after the availability of vaccines due to consuming disinformation on the right wing echo chamber as “low information voters”…a better characterization of those people is “high disinformation voters” because they actually consume a lot of news except it is mostly #fakenews.
Thanks! Great reporting on these clowns! Their TDS has no limit. I despise them and the damage they do and have done to our society. Well done!
This is excellent. Can you compare the death coverage of Sulemeini during Trump's presidency, with the death coverage of Bin Laden during Obama's?
