Nightly strikes between the U.S. and Iran have escalated into a dangerous game of rocket tag, and do you know what the mainstream media is obsessing over? The verbiage of an agreement! Outlets like CNN and MSNBC are spinning this narrative as if it’s another episode of “Keeping Up with the Diplomats.” Instead of adequately covering the reality—America ramping up hostilities—they’re parading the MOU like it’s a peace treaty while sidestepping the urgent threats brewing overseas.

Fox News, on the other hand, likes to play both sides, shoving sensationalist headlines that stoke fear while pretending to give viewers the “truth.” They transition from warning about Iran’s threats to deep dives into hysterical analyses of Biden’s policies. But spare me! Their framing allows them to pivot blame rather than genuinely report on what’s happening in a dangerous landscape. It’s as if they’re writing a script without recognizing they’re growing the problem by sensationalizing its parts.

Let’s talk about accountability. No one in the establishment media wants to touch the actual fallout from these strikes; instead, they focus on who said what in press conferences, giving us a wallpaper-thin interpretation of events. What we need is to question: Why are nightly strikes the status quo? Why is the MOU being treated like a miracle rather than a band-aid on an active wound? It’s time for some raw truths that the talking heads don’t want to admit: War is profitable, and so is fear.
