MSNBC Pushed False Iranian Propaganda That 30 American Troops Were Killed In Missile Attack
The Federalist ^ | 01/08/2020 | Julio Rosas

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.

MSNBC pushed the unverified report from Iranian state media

Iranian state media wouldn't even have that information. MSNBC is just so eager to put out news damaging to Trump; accuracy be damned.

Our domestic enemies (MSM and Democrats) WANT a war with Iran.

They would love for hundreds of US casualties. To blame on Trump.

Copy and paste journalism. As long as it makes Trump/USA look bad.

Chris Hayes’ mouth has a natural downward turn frown. Liberals are miserable.

Iran said 80. They won’t be pleased with MSNBC. I’m guessing they said 30 so the FakeNews would be more believable.

So, they say 30 were killed, but this morning they say no Americans were killed. You see, they said they purposely missed American troops, they meant to do that.

Yeah. Sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hNIX7V21pU

How did the President get the Iranians to attack the US Embassy in Baghdad?

The US performed a flawless direct proportional response to the people who planned, and organized, that internationally recognized act of war. A target which has direct documented links to the assassination of 700 US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan

That these infantile scum are trying to play politics with this is yet another indication of their total lack of any intellectual, or moral, credibility
