"According to a Zeteo analysis, the New York Times underrepresented Iranian victims in its early coverage of the US-Israeli war on Iran. The Times published over 100 articles on the Iran war in its Middle East section in the first four days. Only 18 of the 103 stories Zeteo analyzed mentioned Iranian victims, compared to 29 that mentioned casualties for the US, Israel, or Gulf countries."

"Doesn’t the fact that he is bombing the hell out of a country for no particular reason, endangering the region, and destabilizing the world make it incumbent upon you to be blunt about the problem, rather than dancing around it? Isn’t it time for clarity instead of euphemism?"

"Isn’t it time to put aside your aloofness, your concerns about appearing partisan, and your fears of offending your corporate masters? Isn’t it time to tell the whole truth, in the best interests of the country and the world?"

Froomkin notes that major news outlets including Chicago Times have ignored Cardinal Blaise Cupich's blunt statement about how death and destruction are being pushed by Trump's regime as entertainment.
