In this episode of “This Just in From the Totally Unbiased, Quasi-Official Democrat State Media”…
As the violent conflict between Israel and Iran continued to escalate, with President Donald Trump leaving the G-7 Summit early on Monday to return to the White House to focus on the deteriorating situation, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming the Islamist regime plotted to assassinate the president, the American media have yet again proved on which side they stands.
While the last line of the above might sound harsh, consider the following:
On CBS’s Monday edition “CBS Mornings,” senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta, who was live on the scene of an Iranian missile strike in Tel Aviv, described the attack, then quickly changed gears, focusing instead on the death tolls in Iran — and bewailing the targeted deaths of the Islamist regime’s top military commanders and nuclear scientists.
Co-host Gayle King kicked off the festivities:
Debora Patta’s in a Tel Aviv neighborhood that was damaged in last night’s attack with the latest. Debora, good morning.
Patta started out fine:
Good morning. The American Consulate is just down there, as you can see it’s in a densely populated area that was the scene of a devastating attack overnight. Behind me, buildings have been destroyed, windows blown out, some reduced to rubble, shops have also been demolished. It’s been a rough night.
[Cuts to video]
A direct hit right in the heart of Tel Aviv, the night sky lit up with explosions as Israel’s air defense system intercepted one Iranian missile after another. The strike destroyed homes of people living in this densely populated neighborhood. Not far from Tel Aviv in the city of Petah Tikva, at least four Israelis were killed after a missile slammed into this building, bringing the number of deaths since last week to at least 24.
Fair enough.
But Patta then went straight to work, pushing her (and CBS’s) blatant bias (emphasis, mine):
But the toll Israel has inflicted on Iran is far higher, 224 killed including women and children, as well as the ongoing assassination of top military commanders and nuclear scientists. Thousands of civilians are fleeing the capital Tehran, they are not used to being under attack and we understand the regime is concerned it could spark unrest.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already hinted at regime change. Israel has said the purpose of the war is also to cripple Iran’s nuclear capability. When pressed on why they acted now, Netanyahu had this to say.
PM BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: They were marching quickly. They would achieve a test device and possibly an initial device within months and certainly less than a year.
Should we tell her?
Should we tell Ms. Patta that the conflict isn’t a game of counting bodies? That what Israel is presently undertaking is likely supported, if not cheered, by much of the world, including in the Middle East? That radical Islamists can never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons?
Why bother?
The lapdogs of the left-wing media are well aware about what’s happening and why it’s happening — just as they were well aware of the goings-on during the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, along with other important events — all of which they’re programmed to blame on Trump (TDI: “Trump Did It”), and in the case of the Israel-Iran showdown, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish state.

Patta ended her prattle thusly:
There are reports that President Trump rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader, but the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told CBS News these are fake.
Before we wrap this one up, here’s a relevant thought:
While it’s not always easy, clarity and consistency in official communication are called for — both from the White House and from Netanyahu — now that the situation has reached the brink. Lack of clarity potentially makes an unstable situation like this even more unstable. And in this case, potentially unthinkable.
