Iranian officials are claiming that recent U.S. strikes in Bushehr province have wreaked havoc on civilian infrastructure. Now, where’s the coverage? CNN treats this narrative like it’s a side dish at a buffet, while platforms like Fox News are busy spinning their wheels on everything but the blatant civilian casualties that should be front and center. Why? Because if it doesn’t fit the “good versus evil” narrative that they’ve been peddling, it’s just not newsworthy enough.

Let’s be clear: mainstream media outlets have turned their collective gaze away from the devastating impact on innocent lives. You think these might be the same outlets that would be shouting from the rooftops if it were American civilians in the crosshairs? Absolutely. Selective empathy is a sport these days, and they’ve mastered it. The inconsistency is glaringly obvious, yet here we are witnessing yet another example of corporate media cherry-picking narratives to suit their agendas.

To the pundits clinging to outdated ideologies while desperately trying to create a narrative of America as a global savior—wake up. The damage is real, and it’s not just a footnote in a larger geopolitical chess game. If they truly cared about justice, they would shine a spotlight on these atrocities instead of running for cover under well-crafted talking points that serve the elite’s interests.
