CBS reporter Debora Patta actually mourned the deaths of Iranian generals and nuclear scientists during her coverage of Israel’s defensive strikes, proving once again that our media doesn’t just lean left—it falls over completely.

Media Mourns the Wrong Side
In a stunning display of where the mainstream media’s loyalties truly lie, CBS reporter Debora Patta recently provided coverage of Israeli airstrikes against Iran that seemed more concerned with the fate of Iran’s military leaders than with Israel’s existential struggle. The report, introduced by Gayle King, who cheerfully stated, “Debora Patta’s in a Tel Aviv neighborhood that was damaged in last night’s attack with the latest. Debora, good morning,” quickly devolved into what sounded like a eulogy for Iran’s military leadership rather than balanced reporting.
“They were marching quickly. They would achieve a test device and possibly an initial device within months and certainly less than a year.” – PM BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
What’s particularly troubling is how Patta’s reporting focused heavily on the deaths of Iranian generals and nuclear scientists, as if we should all be deeply concerned about the loss of individuals actively working to destroy Israel and potentially develop nuclear weapons. The tears being shed by our media elite for those working to create weapons of mass destruction is both confusing and revealing. When was the last time you saw a mainstream reporter mourn the death of an American general with such apparent sincerity?
Assassination Claims and Media Manipulation
In the midst of escalating tensions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a statement that perfectly captures the reality of the situation, yet was predictably twisted by the media. Netanyahu suggested that targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader would be the quickest way to end the conflict, saying plainly, “It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict.” The statement reflects a simple truth that our media elites refuse to acknowledge: sometimes removing the head of the snake is the most effective and humane solution to a conflict.
“It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict.” – Benjamin Netanyahu
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon have been warning President Trump about the dangers of being dragged into a war with Iran. Carlson didn’t mince words, stating, “I don’t want my country to be further weakened and destroyed by another one of these wars.” It’s a legitimate concern that deserves serious consideration, not dismissal from a media establishment that seems increasingly eager to see America engaged in yet another foreign conflict that doesn’t serve our national interests.
The Fake News Machine in Full Operation
Just when you think media manipulation couldn’t get more obvious, we have the recent debacle surrounding the ABC presidential debate. Social media exploded with claims that ABC fired moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for their performance during the debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump. The only problem? It was completely false. The claim originated from a satirical website but was quickly spread as fact by those willing to believe anything that confirms their biases.
“The claim that ABC fired moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for their performance during a recent presidential debate is false.” – Fact-checking organizations
This incident perfectly illustrates the state of our media ecosystem. While some spread obviously false information, the mainstream media engages in a more sophisticated form of manipulation. They don’t need to lie outright when they can simply choose which facts to emphasize, which emotions to convey, and which perspectives to validate. Whether it’s mourning Iranian generals or fact-checking one candidate live while giving the other a pass, the bias is clear for anyone willing to see it.
The Media’s True Colors
What we’re witnessing isn’t journalism—it’s advocacy disguised as reporting. When CBS correspondents appear more disturbed by Israel’s defensive actions than by Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the mask slips. When debate moderators apply different standards to different candidates, we see the game being played. The American people aren’t stupid, which is precisely why trust in mainstream media continues to plummet to historic lows.
The next time you watch network news coverage of international conflicts or domestic politics, pay attention not just to what they say, but how they say it. Notice whose deaths they mourn, whose statements they question, and whose narratives they advance. In the supposedly “unbiased” reporting of our mainstream media, the bias couldn’t be more obvious if they wore team jerseys while delivering the news.
