No. 1 Sponsor of Terrorism? US Media Name Iran, but Overlook a Candidate Closer to Home
Joshua Cho | fair.org | 2020-02-13
After the illegal assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, FAIR ( 1/9/20) noted that the corporate media offered no moral objections to murdering another country's high-ranking state official. The media consensus was that Soleimani was a despicable "terrorist" responsible for the deaths of "hundreds of Americans"–a formula that buried the crucial distinc…
