Seems Fox's opinion piece was pretty spot on. Iran was humiliated. They threw a crapload of munitions against Israel and they didn't hit anything except a 10 year old girl who got seriously hurt. Even Muslim Jordan was out shooting down Iranian rockets. And to make matters worse for Iran, they faked film footage of fires and people getting uptight and claimed it was all Israel, but that was debunked in hours.
CNNs opinion piece is obviously propaganda. They claimed Irans attack seemed planned to minimize casualties, but the exact opposite is true. You don't launch hundreds of rockets at civilians and then say it was 'planned to minimize casualties'. It's just ridiculous.
When you look at the headlines of the big three ... FOX, CNN, and MSDNC ... they are often in conflict over the same event. It depends on what they want you to think. But in the case of the ones you gave as examples ... The FOX opinion piece wasn't propaganda whereas the CNN one obviously was.
I hope that stayed within the bounds of what you called for for discussion. I think so.
