The Watchdog with David Bozell

For nearly half a century, Iran’s regime screamed “Death to America!” seized our embassy in 1979, funded terror proxies that killed our troops, and raced toward nuclear weapons, while the media barely raised an eyebrow.

Then President Trump struck back decisively. Operation Epic Fury eliminated key Iranian military and political leaders, shattering the mullahs’ command structure and giving the Iranian people an opening to break free from decades of brutal oppression and exported terror.

The media’s reaction? Instant outrage, directed not at Tehran, but at America.

ABC’s This Week treated Iranian state media’s unverified claim of a U.S.-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school “killing 148” as an established fact, with no pushback, no mention of Israeli denials. The New York Times fixated on alleged gaps in the administration’s justification: Trump “made little effort” to prove an imminent threat, intelligence didn’t confirm an ICBM commitment, and there was “no proof” Iran was on the verge of a bomb.

CNN platformed Democrat Rep. Jason Crow to attack Trump’s record rather than confront Iran’s long terror campaign. MS NOW’s Barry McCaffrey called the operation “unlikely” to succeed repeatedly and a strategic disaster. The Washington Post humanized Supreme Leader Khamenei, killed in the strike, with descriptions of his “easy smile” and love of poetry, as if he were a misunderstood artist instead of the architect of terror.

The same media that buried Joe Biden repeatedly checking his watch during the dignified transfer of 13 fallen heroes at Dover now spin Trump’s words of “immense love and eternal gratitude” for U.S. soldiers killed in Iran as “relatively callous.”

No credit for U.S. forces. No patriotic context. Just the tired reflex: minimize American strength, run interference for enemies — and attack Trump. That's why MRC stays on watch 24/7. We call out distortions and put the real story in front of the American people when the media won’t. Thank you for making it possible.
