Kuwait and Bahrain are sounding alarms over Iranian missile and drone attacks, and suddenly, mainstream media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are all over it, echoing the same stale narratives. What’s happening here? The real question is whether these outlets are genuinely informing the public or just pushing their perpetual war agenda. Their coverage is riddled with hyperbole, framing the situation in a way that feeds the military-industrial complex’s thirst for intervention.

On the other hand, what do we hear from Fox News? They pounce on the opportunity to amplify fears, portraying the Biden administration as weak and ineffective—yet where was their outrage when the previous administration was cozying up to autocrats? It’s like a game of musical chairs, with the media swapping their opinions based on who’s in power. There’s a striking inconsistency in how they frame threats based on political convenience.

Jordan’s sirens blaring should be a wake-up call for everyone, but instead, corporate media seem more interested in sensational headlines than the implications for regional stability. Does anyone care about the ordinary citizens caught in this geopolitical chess game? I doubt it. Instead, we get a nice tidy package of fear-mongering, all while pretending to ‘hold power accountable’—what a joke.
