You Don’t Hate Media Enough: NYT, WaPo Remember Ayatollah As ‘Cleric’ With ‘Easy Smile’

 Brianna Lyman 

"You don’t have to hate the media to notice the absurdity of these obituaries, but if you didn’t hate them before, you probably do now." 

"If you thought The Washington Post’s infamous decision to describe ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” was a once in a lifetime lapse in editorial judgement, you were mistaken. With the death of Iran’s brutal dictatorial supreme leader, both The New York Times and The Post are back to remind you that legacy media still has no shame.

"Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s longtime supreme leader responsible for executions, censorship, repression, and sponsoring terrorist groups worldwide, was killed in an airstrike on Saturday. His death comes weeks after his regime oversaw the execution of tens of thousands of Iranians who took to the streets to protest his very rule.

"But rather than recount the misery and destruction of his reign, the propaganda press has set out to humanize him. In a Washington Post obituary by William Branigin, readers are introduced to the Ayatollah not as the brutal dictator he was, but simply as “Iran’s supreme leader,” who “is dead at 86.” . . .

Iranian woman slams Muslim Mayor of NYC and the useful idiot Democrats for their disgusting hypocrisy   "Elica Le Bon says the Democrat mask is off! “It’s the first time these people have spoken up on Iran, the Mayor of NYC, Congress people, they spoke up not to defend the Iranian people, but to defend the Islamic terrorists who are massacring them.'”

‘Disgrace of a human’: Whoopi Goldberg ‘minimizes’ the struggles of Iranian women    “Let me be clear, the Iranian regime will hang you from a crane in the public square for crimes like blasphemy, witchcraft, homosexuality and of course, if you dare show any dissent, if you challenge the brutal regime. Whoopi thinks that's pretty much how black folk are treated in America,” Ms Panahi said.

“You absolute disgrace of a human being, Whoopi Goldberg, to show absolutely no regard for the Iranian women who risk their lives to challenge the Islamist government, to minimize their struggle and compare it to your fever dreams about oppression in America in 2025.”
