Centcom’s announcement of striking 90 Iranian targets while the Iranian health ministry reports 14 killed should make alarm bells ring. And yet, where’s the mainstream media’s outrage? CNN is busy spinning narratives about how this is a necessary action for “stability” in the region, while glossing over the potential for escalating violence. Fox might touch on the death toll, but more likely they’ll focus on how the Biden administration is trying to “project strength.” It’s all a smoke screen! They want you to believe this violence is justified and crucial for American security, but what’s really happening is a classic case of war profiteering dressed up as patriotism.

Meanwhile, you can bet that networks like MSNBC will sensationalize this tragedy in a way that keeps their viewers frozen in fear—ignoring the human cost while pushing their endless cycle of conflict. The framing keeps Americans distracted from the uncomfortable truth: every airstrike has real lives attached to it, and not just some abstract geopolitical chess game. Where is the honest coverage on the long-term implications of these strikes on Iranian civilians? It’s conveniently absent.

In the end, all these networks play the same game, pushing their own versions of reality while you’re left trying to make sense of the chaos. It’s a coordinated effort to ensure we accept military intervention as a viable option without questioning the moral and ethical implications. Wake up, America!
