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.

The numbers that Iran is admitting are 5000, but I recall that there were days after the internet shutdown when their total death toll was reported to be anywhere b/w 20,000 to 30,000. It’s a disgrace what we have allowed thanks to the president’s empty threats. If he meant consequences for Iran if even one person got killed, it should have happened right away, w/ some minimal bombardment of IRGC weapons depots
Although there are reports that the ayatollah has gone underground, I’m not holding my breath expecting anything to happen this weekend

The most accurate figure, in my opinion, is 16500-18000 as reported by the Iranian Physicians’ Network, but the exact number really doesn’t matter. Even if we take the minimum number of 5,000 as reported by the Iranian government, this cannot be attributable to a rogue faction of the Iranian police or military; it represents regime policy and a state sponsored crime against humanity. All the Iranian mullahs, and the military officers and other perpetrators need to be hanged from the same cranes that they have been using all along!

The media will believe anything that supports their leftist narrative.

It’s just too late for any type of “diplomatic settlement’.” The reason why this is so is because the massive human carnage is so horrendous that those murderous despots of Iran must be brought to justice . Likewise, their tyrannical Islamic regime need to be destroyed.

Whatever the death toll during the protests one can be sure there will be many more as we have no numbers of those arrested who will surely be murdred in addition.
It was a sad day for bioth US and Iran when DT did not act on his threats to take action
OLD GUY says
While we question our Presidents position on Iran, we must not forget where is the UN and it’s peacekeeping forces. Or even the UN condemnation of the Iran regime? Where is the support from European countries and willingness to send their economic or military to stop this?
