Why half the country tunes out legacy media on Iran
 
“There is a deep anti-military bias in the media, one that begins from the premise that the military must be lying, and that American projection of power around the world must be wrong.”

When former ABC reporter and anchor Terry Moran told me this in an interview in May of 2006, his assertion elicited quite a few nods and not a few objections.
 

“I think that that is a hangover from Vietnam,” Moran continued at the time, “and I think it’s very dangerous. That’s different from the media doing its job of challenging the exercise of power without fear or favor.”

Moran’s comments caused him some blowback and certainly got the attention of both Left and Right in the Manhattan-Beltway media elite. When Columbia Journalism School Dean and New Yorker staff writer Nicholas Lemann decided to report on me and my program, he used the exchange with Moran as an illustration of how simple questions elicit answers that speak volumes. The above quote was deemed a “money quote” by Lemann. “efore long the blogosphere had worked itself up into a condition of mid-level outrage,” Lemann concluded.

Only half?

I'd only watch MSM Iran coverage if I wanted to know what American cheese-eating surrender monkeys sound like.

If the MSM was to cover the Battle of Bunker Hill, they'd crap on the Revolutionaries because they were fighting the battle on the incorrect hill - Breed's Hill.  Also, waiting until you see the whites of their eyes to shoot would be covered as a war crime.  Lastly, after the Battle, they would be bloviating that the American Revolution was a hopeless quagmire and would be prognosticating imminent defeat for the Americans.

The MSM resents America ... because, despite its flaws, it's still the envy of the World.

waiting until you see the whites of their eyes to shoot would be covered as a war crime.

Because CNN would consider that a racist phrase.
