Trump is threatening news agencies with treason

Trump accuses US media of treason over Iran war coverage
The US president has lashed out at US media over their coverage of the war on Iran, calling for treason charges against outlets that spread false information.

In a Truth Social post, Trump accused the US media of being manipulated by Iran, which he claimed is using AI to disseminate disinformation.

"Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at " Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!" he wrote.

"The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they "win" are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES," he added.

no one believes you

How about this?

Why don't our media, all of them, put a full court press on the WH and Pentagon to explain why the fuck we are in this war and what we are trying to achieve?

How about that for a start?

It is depressing that Tucker Carlson is the voice of resistance.

Do Americans have any concept of what we have done?

This is national suicide level stuff.

America spends a trillion dollars per year on defense.

We are running out of munitions 2 weeks into a war.

That is -------------------!

And on top of that we don't have the production capacity to ramp up production.

And on top of THAT we don't have access to the minerals to build the high end munitions.

This is criminal neglect

Let's be clear. The US and Israel are losing BADLY.

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz

That strait controls 20% of the world's oil, 25% of the world's natural gas and 35% of the world's fertilizer (we are entering the planting season for like 70% of the world's arable land).

There are no feasible military options to reopen the strait. UNDERSTAND THAT. There are no feasible military options.

Western allies-Europe, Japan, S. Korea, Australia, India, Taiwan all rely heavily on oil from the gulf. Taiwan has enough oil for like 10 days of power left. Then their industries go black.

Who has oil? Russia.

We are pushing these nations towards Russia and China.

the Gulf state's relationship with the United States was based on our security guarantees. That is being shown to be a paper tiger. Now the gulf states have limited options for security, but they are likely to take serious body blows to their economies.

Make no mistake, Iran will be dictating terms to the US and Israel.

And that will be HUMILIATING.

And it all didn't have to happen

"Mideast War Intensifies" is a neutral headline. It is factual. It is appropriate for news both from a reporting and editorial standpoint. A story like that is NOT an editorial it is a factual statement. The intensity of a conflict can be objectively measured i.e. we are flying more sorties today than yesterday

"Iran Increasingly Desperate" is an editorial headline. It is not based on facts or more accurately put; it would require far more supporting facts to justify. Desperation is a state of mind. What acts or statements by Iran indicate increasing desperation? That headline is more appropriate for an editorial headline where opinion on the state of mind of the Iranian leaders has to be inferred from other actions and requires a bit of mind reading.

As an aside it is unclear who the title even refers to. That headline is needless unclear-Iran government, Iran people, Iran military, Iran Opposition-WHO is increasingly desperate.

Hegseth was a "journalist" or at least a news host and would understand the basics of journalism.

Of course all of that is immaterial as to why the ---- the Secretary of Defense is worried about news headlines in the middle of a ------- war.

These people are not serious

These people are lying to us.

Thanks magat scum

Breaking trust in the data that comes from the government is incredibly damaging and will be incredibly difficult to repair.

Businesses use this data for all sorts of investment purposes.

Thanks magat scum. yet another way you have ------ our country for decades.

Like I said you're scum
Truly truly scum

Thanks for admitting it, that took a long time

which is accomplished through specific acts you drooling idiot

Like

Starvation
Killing
Displacement
Denial of education
Denial of medicine
Destruction of housing
Denial of clean water
Denial of basic rights

You know, Israeli policy

You really are an idiot.

You do understand how time works, right? 2000 happened before 2023. You understand that correct?
You do understand that the genocide did not start in 2000, it started in 2023. You understand that right?
You understand that 2023 is LATER than 2000? Right?
You do understand that the population growth rate is not the definition of a genocide right? You understand that right?
A genocide are the actions and the intent of one group over another.

Look at the intentional targeting of civilians
Look at the land theft
Look at the starvation
Look at the collective punishment
Look at the forced displacement
Look at statements from the Netanyahu government
Look at the treatment of Palestinian detainees (aka hostages)
Look at the destruction of the Gaza strip
Look at the restriction of aid and food
Genocide

In their own words.

the deputy speaker of Israel's parliament, said was the country's "one common goal" after October 7, 2023: "erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth."

Netanyahu described the operation as Israel's "concluding moves," the purpose of which was to ensure that "Gazans choose to emigrate outside the Strip."

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declared in early May that in six months, Gaza would cease to exist. The surviving population, he added, would be herded into a single "humanitarian zone" and"broken by despair"would depart, "understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza."
