King 5 News in Seattle was doing anti-Iran propaganda.
It’s so blatant because they barely do any kind of international news whatsoever but will report on petty crime and random nonsense in the Seattle area. And then they do some random thing about Shah supporters doing a protest and protestors dying in Iran and repeating Trump’s rhetoric about Iran.
Like Americans get no understanding of the world by default from stupid TV news, but they’ll get a narrative about why the US needs to murder people in places that people in the US know nothing about (at least if they only listen to TV news).
It’s crazy how TV news is so much worse than every other kind of media.
Regime change propaganda from the NYT or CNN or on social media is infinitely more sophisticated than TV. I really don’t get it. It’s such a weird “time capsule”. But newspapers have always published more sophisticated propaganda. I guess you meet people where they’re at.
