U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post this morning that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," as his threatened attacks on Iranian infrastructure loom ahead of an 8 p.m. ET deadline.
Iran has rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and says it wants a permanent end to the war.
UN Secretary General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law.
The death toll so far includes more than 1,900 people in Iran, 1,400 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel, about two dozen in other countries in the region, 13 U.S. service members and 11 Israeli soldiers.

I'm not defending it but my guess is that outlets do not want to seem partisan by picking the not trump side as this would immediately destroy part of their demographic (magats and magat adjacents) who will flock to Maga approving sources, and because this is the US Maga is probably like 60% of their demographic.
edit: tldr it's because of money
I'm pretty sure any mainstream liberal publication lost this demographic years ago.
