The Iranian National Broadcasting Company

Silly me. All this time I thought the “National” in 
National Broadcasting Company referred to the US. Boy, was I wrong.


You know, I always assumed that the “National” in National Broadcasting Company referred to the United States.

Boy, was I wrong.

Apparently it’s the Iranian National Broadcasting Company.

How else do you explain NBC deciding to air live the burial service for Iranian Terror Chief Qassem Soleimani?



Why on earth would an American news corporation feel the need to broadcast in its entirety the funeral of a foreign terrorist who has the blood of hundreds of Americans on his now decomposing hands?

Who thought this was a good idea?

I think the last funeral service NBC aired live was John McCain’s.  I could be wrong.  Maybe they broadcast Elijah Cummings’ funeral.

But those guys were Americans.  Soleimani was not only not an American, he was our enemy.

Why in Lucifer’s reach is it so damn hard for these people to stop canonizing a butcher?

But broadcasting live the burial of Qassem Smolderimani isn’t the only stupid decision the Iranian National Broadcasting Company made yesterday.


And when Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk criticized MSNBC for regurgitating Iranian propaganda, Chris Hayes snottily gave this comeback:

“Somehow you managed to cut out the part where I emphasized that that was Iranian state media and not verified. What a weird coincidence.”

Why is a supposed “news” outlet disseminating unverified reports at all? Is there no such thing as “fact-checking” at the Iranian National Broadcasting Company?

That wasn’t the righteous comeback you think it is, Chris, you clown.

Now you understand why I said that the American news media has enlisted in Iran’s Propaganda War against the US?

Meanwhile, over at the Tehran Washington Post, writer Paul Farhi laments the accusations that the American news media is not being patriotic. Skepticism is a part of journalism, he explains.

Okay, sure Jan; the complaint is over your “skepticism.”

What an idiot.

You want to be skeptical, be skeptical.  Nobody is asking you to gobble up press releases and press statements with uncritical acceptance.  In fact, I’d love a little skepticism from you assholes when it comes to regurgitating the garbage coming out of Tehran.

But this kind of skepticism?

Yeah, that’s not so much skepticism as stupidity.

And, see that’s the point, Paul Farhi of the Tehran Post.  It isn’t skepticism that bothers us.  It’s the fact that you guys are acting like Iran’s propaganda partner.

Be as skeptical as you like, but how’s about you stop doing that.  Is that too much to ask?

I have never liked the American news media.  But I have never loathed them as deeply as I do today.
