Trump basically caved, and accepted a variation of Iran’s 10 point plan. The US gained basically nothing while Iran gained complete and total control over the Stait of Hormuz, which they did not have before. and now they’re going to monetize it, when it used to be free to pass through.

Oh, and Israel gets to keep bombing Lebanon.

So, yeah, by any measure, Iran really did get to claim victory here.

CNN must face ‘accountability’ for a report he claims is inaccurate without providing evidence

oh.. yes goof ball... open that box...

I'm sure your friends at Fox would love for you to set require that news agencies need to provide evidence for what they report.

People claiming the US is getting nothing are again ignoring what came out in the Chat leak from last year, involving Hegseth, Gabbard, Vance, and so forth. One of their complaints was that the US was policing the region / ensuring trade routes for EU allies and Gulf states, without getting fully paid for the assets deployed in the region.

If Iran's plan says the US leaves the region, and/or if the result is that Gulf states/EU take a more active role in the region going forward, and/or it results in those parties paying the US more to maintain a security presence in the area, those are all things that align to the objectives of the current administration. The media really needs to update their expectations / get a better read of what the administration's objectives are -- the right-wing is quite explicitly publishing things like Project 2025 / other ideological books that paint their roadmap in brutally plain terms, it really doesn't take that much effort to dig up.

Another fun side thought, though entirely conjecture, is that the last time there was a major iranian conflict, it triggered significant recessions in many western nations. Canada, for example, had three things in the 80s that triggered interest rates to climb to 20%: Iranian energy crisis, US protectionism hammering the Canadian auto industry, and a softened global Canadian dollar/export problems. Almost seems like America's attempting to force a similar issue. If their current gong show in the middle east triggers similar issues globally, it'd potentially even serve to help the states with their stated ambition to annex Canada via economic warfare.

They're not wrong. The way everyone but the pedophile and his protectors see it is Iran had the upper hand and US is the struggling cry baby instigator in this war. All the pedophile has been doing is whining the entire time, as Iran holds firm... what a cry baby little bitch this giant pedophile is.

Brendan Carr has no jurisdiction over cable, but we all know that's not going to stop him from trying

Any major news outlet has a duty to report statements from sovereign nations engaged in war. Obviously.

It's important to keep perspective on what is right and what's normal, tiring as it is lately. We have to challenge this moron's tyranny at every little step, lest any of the insanity become normalized.

It's okay, Larry Ellison will have Skydance take a buzzsaw to CNN after they fully acquire CNN.

Media fascist messaging consolidation is why they wanted WB so bad
