I said a few months ago. I’m pretty sure 24+ months doesn’t fall under the categorisation of “a few”. Iran has been barely touched upon for years, and now the headlines are rolling about how horrible they are now there is a war to justify.

Basically nothing for 2 years (the protests ended), and the first term for Trump ended in 2021, so 4 years ago. The only thing I have seen is about arms sales, occasionally and it doesn’t express any opinion other than an Iran drone was used.

In the last few days since the attack, it’s quite a lot about nuclear weapons that may be 2 months, 2 years or a 20 years away, and now about journalists. Basically, the strategy has changed to bumping them up the enemies list to justify the attacks.

We don’t see much about the Syrian leader, as he’s not much of a terrorist now he’s working with the West.

It’s interesting how media can pivot their narratives about who the heroes and villains are at any time, and it’s always in line with government foreign policy.

I said tolerable to the media. Been barely discussed in UK media until Israel attacked them, now they’re scrambling to justify it based on how bad Iran is…

If you read your sources, you’ll realise Palestine is the worst. “Palestine has become the world’s most dangerous state for journalists, as almost 200 reporters were killed in Gaza by the Israeli army over the first 18 months of war, at least 42 of whom were likely killed due to their work. In the West Bank, where journalists were already the victims of abuses by both the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli occupying forces, Israeli pressure has intensified since 7 October 2023, with an increase in arrests of reporters and obstructions to their work.”

2 bad guys are fighting it out here. One was an aggressor who started this conflict…

In the UK they were not a problem. Not even discussed until Israel attacked and now they’re scrambling to paint them as the biggest evil to retroactively justify the attacks.

Media freedom is rubbish in Iran. They’re not good guys. However, media is silent on the number of journalists Israel has killed recently, and no, they’re not allowed in Gaza, so the threat of death and lack of freedom seems to apply to the aggressors also.

In reality, they should be clearly communicating this is 2 bad guys fighting this out. It’s obvious who the aggressor is who kicked off another front though.

Israel attacks Iran. Iran which was tolerable to media a few months ago is now the root of all evil.

Talk of manufacturing consent. The scrambling to justify these attacks on Iran is real interesting.

See you tomorrow and the next day for an Iran did this bad thing story. Keep drip feeding that narrative.

Whatever, the point was even Vance couldn’t do that. Started questioning Biden’s health before.

I was not defending Trump, I was criticising how Vance limbo’d under Trump’s response…

He is a vile PoS. Even when Biden announced cancer, Trump demonstrated more humanity than Vance did. Vance has no chill and no human decency.
