Consistently enemies of the people.
Media headlines are echoing claims by Iran’s regime that only 3,117 people were killed in the Islamic tyranny’s massacres of protesters.
Protesters claim a death toll that is far higher and considering that the propaganda of totalitarian regimes tends to be fake, they’re probably closer to the truth.
Some have pointed out the media’s hypocrisy in echoing the fake Hamas death tolls in Gaza while being skeptical of the death tolls put out by the protesters in Iran.
But the media’s approach only appears inconsistent. While it’s inconsistent in whether it chooses to run unverified claims from a war zone or trust the official government numbers, it’s quite ideologically consistent in a way that explains everything.
The media believes Hamas and believes its state sponsors in Tehran because its actual rule is to believe Islamists. And to reject anything that their opponents claim.
This is consistent behavior and it’s also consistent with the behavior of a machine broadcasting enemy propaganda. The sooner we think of the media that way, the clearer we will be able to see them for what they are and understand what must be done.
