   Neither have the ways that outlets described a brutal murderer whom they humanized in an effort to make Trump look bad.
   With the death of another Iranian leader in the news,
   I wanted to revisit this media moment.
   I wasn’t prepared for how bad the coverage was.

     Remember When a Trump Airstrike Was Going to Start WW3?
     That was only the tip of the iceberg of the awful coverage of the death of Soleimani, the Iranian terrorist the media turned into something of a folk hero.
     Today’s thread focuses on two of the media’s weaknesses:
     1) making predictions about world events, and
     2) greeting the passing of public figures.

     In focus is Qasem Soleimani,
     an Iranian general who controlled a global terror network and was responsible for perhaps tens of thousands of deaths around the globe,
     including hundreds of American servicemembers.

     He was killed by an air strike in January 2020 ordered by former President Donald Trump.
     The responses to that killing, and the predictions that it spawned,
     haven’t aged well.

     The intellectual dishonesty from the #AP is bottomless.
     Yes, Congress made noncitizen voting illegal three decades ago.
     But all 50 states have been blocked by the courts from *implementing* that law:
     not one state in America is allowed to verify citizenship before voting.
     Not one.
