Following an Iranian attack on a US Airbase in Iraq MSNBC decided to push the summary of Iran’s state news agency over the Pentagon’s assessment of the attack.
According to The Daily Caller:
MSNBC gave airtime to baseless Iranian propaganda alleging the Islamic Republic had killed 30 American military members in missile attacks Tuesday night.
Iran launched missile attacks on two Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops Tuesday, in retaliation for the U.S. killing notorious Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani. At the time this article was published, there were no known American casualties in Tuesday night’s attacks, but that didn’t stop MSNBC from giving oxygen to Iranian propaganda claiming otherwise.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews brought in NBC News Tehran bureau chief Ali Arouzi, who repeated the Iranian claims to MSNBC’s national audience.

At almost the exact same time that MSNBC aired the Iranian claims about U.S. casualties, CNN cited a U.S. official in reporting that there were zero known American casualties at the time.
US official tells CNN that are no reports of US casualties at this time but an assessment is still underway. Reports @barbarastarrcnn

The media has decided to pick Iran over the United States in what seems to be pure hatred of President Trump.
