Let’s Talk About the Missile That Hit the School in Iran, Because It’s a Masterclass in How Media Propaganda Works
13th March 2026
- “Verified by NBC News” = Trust me, bro.
- “Adding evidence, experts say, that an American missile likely hit…” = We have no actual proof.
- “…hit a compound once home to a military base” = This is a buried lede, please don’t pay attention to it.
- “Weapons expert Jeffrey Lewis” = Here’s a left-leaning DC thinktank nerd to make our scant evidence seem more concrete than it is.
- “4 other weapons experts, who agree” = Trust me bro, Part Dos.
- “NBC News spoke on the phone with a father who said his 8-year-old daughter, Zahra, was killed…” = Let’s end with a sad story of a random Iranian man so the audience really hates Trump.
