MSNBC Pushed False Iranian Propaganda That 30 American Troops Were Killed In Missile Attack

[The Purge]

Now that we have learned NOTHING IMPORTANT OR ANY MILITARY were killed, MSNBC looks like an ARM of Iranian propaganda!...NEVER TO BE TRUSTED AGAIN!

------------

MSNBC pushed the unverified report from Iranian state media that claimed to have killed 30 U.S. service members in their ballistic missile attack on Tuesday evening.

The Iranian claim of U.S. causalities in Iraq also circulated on social media despite the Department of Defense quashing the rumors.

"They launched the first wave of attacks in revenge for Soleimani’s killing. We're getting reports as you've just mentioned They have launched a second wave of attacks in the same vicinity. We're also getting unconfirmed reports from state media saying that they have leveled Al-Assad base in Iraq and they have killed 30 U.S. troops. Now, Iran is saying that if there is any retaliation from the United States from these latest two attacks that they have launched by the IRGC directly, they will target all U.S. bases," NBC's Tehran Bureau Chief Ali Arouzi told MSNBC host Chris Hayes an hour after the Pentagon confirmed the attack.

The Pentagon's press statement about the missile attack was released almost a full hour before MSNBC's segment aired. The press statement did not mention any U.S. or Iraqi causalities from the attack.

The Fake News has sunk to such depths that they have to look up to see down.

MSNBC doesn't care about the parents of American troops that were worried sick waiting to get a knock on the door from the government.

I’m shocked! The network of Ritchie Maddow, Mika Scarblower, et al?

 

[BULLDOG]

They clearly identified those reports as "UNCONFIRMED"

From the OP

We're also getting unconfirmed reports from state media saying that they have leveled Al-Assad base in Iraq and they have killed 30 U.S. troops.

As of this morning, they were still digging through some buildings but, so far, have found no casualties. I was wrong. They didn't just hit open fields. If there were no casualties, it was just the luck of the draw.

So was MSNBC reporting what Tehran was telling Iranians, or were they reporting it as fact. Since they said the report is "unconfirmed", I suspect you are putting a spin on it that Hayes is reporting this as fact instead of reporting it as an Iranian blurb.

If you aren't outraged by what MSNBC did to those parents you should be ashamed of yourself.

All the time. The problem is reporting unconfirmed information without designating it is unconfirmed. Watch fox if you want to see examples of that on a regular basis.

Disagree. When a major network reports anything, there is an assumed level of credibility. It is not enough to say "unconfirmed" especially given the enormous stakes of these events. We aren't talking about Juicy Smollet's unconfirmed report.
