Facts:
1. Iran overwhelmingly has targeted civilians in Israel.
2. Longtime biased HRW itself contradicts its "phosphorus " propaganda.
3. Israel is an open society liberal democracy and very self criticized. If a serious successful "hit" by the Islamic Republic is really happening, we would all hear it from mainstream.
4. Some of Iran's AI "clips" are too dumb.
5. At this garbage site "dropsite" , a racist Arab "Palestinian" justified the Arab Islamist attempted massacre of 140 toddlers at TempleIsrael on Michigan...

Drop Site News & MintPress News: The Independent Media Echoing the Iranian Regime.
Drop Site News and MintPress News are two alternative media sites that pride themselves on being independent news sources with a focus on accountability and journalistic integrity. On X, this “independence” usually translates to anti-Israel and anti-American reporting.
However, when it comes to the protests in Iran, both news sources seem to have swapped their “independence” for “acquiescence,” mainly reporting on the protests from a regime perspective.
For its part, Drop Site News’ coverage feigns objectivity by reporting on the protests and what drives the protesters, but a closer look shows that it heavily relies on statements and messages put out by the Iranian regime.
It took several days for Drop Site News to report anything about the protests, and when it did, it blamed the state of the Iranian economy largely on U.S. sanctions (as opposed to mismanagement, corruption, and wasteful spending that characterize the Iranian regime’s financial policy).
Since then, Drop Site’s coverage largely features statements by official Iranian sources (such as state media, ruling politicians, etc.), creates a moral equivalence between the killing of demonstrators by the state apparatus and the killing of security forces, spotlighting pro-regime demonstrations, and casting doubt on the number of protesters killed by the repressive regime.
