Attention Please: This thread is about propaganda, NOT the subject of specific propaganda; please contain your comments about politics, international crisis, or personalities. I wish to focus on something that has become a common trend in major media reporting.
From Fox News: Iran humiliated, Hezbollah and Houthis 'completely stunned' by Israel attack failure, says Gen. Keane
Subtitled: Keane called the failure of Iran's missiles a 'humiliation' and 'huge opportunity' for the US
Point made... A US general is stoked about one nation's assault on another failing.
In the meantime... CNN runs with this article: Iran’s attack seemed planned to minimize casualties while maximizing spectacle
Point made... Wasn't that nice of Iran, ... to "hold back?"
These messages have 'intent' within them... Or am I the only one thinking that the "engineered" appeal of these two articles is for two entirely different audiences?
Help me out here...
