    CBS hasn’t completely lost its credibility on all issues yet, but it’s definitely lost a lot and is rapidly losing it. It was bought out by a right wing billionaire specifically to exert editorial control and the current head of their news was a right wing activist before this position

    That said, I do believe their reporting on the violence against protesters in Iran. It’s wholly within the behavior we’ve seen escalating over the past decade

      There’s definitely violence against the protesters there. The awfulizing and amplification of the issues in Iran are specifically to bolster this administration’s desire to make war there.

      Fascism need not always lie but instead selectively reveal pieces of reality and fudge the lines of credulity. There are ways to support Democratic revolutions that don’t involve sending our military in.

      The people of Iraq were also very grateful to see Saddam Hussein go but that doesn’t mean that they wanted to lose hundreds of thousands of people to starvation and wanton destruction to satisfy our foreign policy goals.
