CNN had repeatedly insisted that senior international correspondent Fred Pleitgen and the network maintained “full editorial control” about what they reported when the former was in inside Iran. But, in an interview with the U.K.-based newspaper The Guardian, which was less of an interview and more just answering prompts, Pleitgen asserted that he and his cameraman didn’t have a “minder” lurking over them. Yet, when he described who guided him around and what he was allowed to see, it very much sounded like a minder.
Biggest “no s#!t” thing I’ve heard this week. I’m just going to say it- if you believe anything coming from an “official” source inside Iran, or Syria, or Gaza, or Canada, or any of those places- you’re a fool and a sucker. You’re being played, however well intentioned you may be.

Has anyone else noticed that any country that requires media to be escorted and monitored also have a system of government that is designed to protect and preserve the government at the expense of its nation?
An example would be a country invoking emergency powers because of a parking infraction in front of its legislature
Forget CNN … the entire mass media are portraying this as a LOSING war by the BadOrangeMan. That Israel and all the Western bases are being hit … badly … by the crazed Iranian Mullahs. They are justified in striking back against anyone who doesn’t HATE the Great Satan as much as they do. Yes, the US is getting their asses kicked by yet another Islamic State. The Great Satan is going down!
Every … single … media … outlet.
Orangebadman LOSING.
The media lies just keep coming.
