To be fair, Axios didn't rag on Iran here. They didn't do any kind of labeling, just stating what happened: Israel bombed a live Iranian news station.
That's what news is supposed to be. The opinion columns are where terms like 'Zionist regime' goes. Same with whatever you'd want to call Iran's govt, but news is just the event as it comes, maybe with context.
Bombing a live news station, and clarifying that there was no warning, speaks for itself. More context of Israel's many other crimes would be better, but Axios has a very-brief writing style.
This is not the full video. In the full video, she's reporting on some random stuff when there are some explosions in the background (2-3), so she starts talking like this until the big one hits.
Well, I thought I’d feel nothing if perhaps a little shock, but seeing her flee for her life as she was self-righteously wagging the finger, something that she probably does often in defense of the Ayatollah, was kinda satisfying. Let’s not forget who these people are who uphold this tyrannical theocracy, TV propagandists included. I do not condone what Israel is doing, but just for one moment this felt good.
Wow, you really should be disgusted with yourself right now. Go take a shower, Jesus Christ.
You were satisfied seeing someone "flee for her life" because you interpreted her foreign language and hand gestures as "she was self-righteously wagging the finger", and that was enough to make a journalist fleeing for her life because a fascist genocidal state bombed her TV station "felt good".
There were subtitles for fuck sake 🙄 I didn’t have to interpret anything. Also, Iranian state TV. There is very little that is ambiguous about the video or what the lady in question represents. Also, I seriously doubt she’s a “journalist” as we like to imagine them, doing investigative work,
field work, serving the people, and uncovering the truth. Probably just a mouthpiece for the theocracy on state tv.
Calling her journalist is a stretch. She is the token woman mouth piece of the Ayatollah regime. When the Zan zendegi azadi protests were going on, she called for the protestors to be shot.
She is objectively an evil person who is now sitting in the bed she helped make.
Israel is bad and this unprovoked attack is a move by Netanyahu and Trump to distract from their domestic problems. But in the giant pile of shit that this situation is, that bitch getting scared is one of the few nuggets of pure karma.
I hope Khamenei dies too btw. Is that a problem too?
