  • Iran

    Jan 16, 2026 - Iran

    I just listened to Dr. Marandi talk about the Iranian protest, on Al Jazeera news. If I heard correctly, he was saying that mossad, the Israeli intelligence, is the one causing the problem in Iran, and that most Iranians support their government.

    IF that’s true, I hope your reporting will reflect that

    Also, in relation to Trump’s first election, I understand that Russia gate was really made up to discredit tRump; and it was started by Hillary Clinton. IF that’s true, I hop... more

  • Shameless

    From anti-imperial journalism, to compatible “left”, to complete propagandist!

    Millions Iranians are marching against foreign-backed (we all know which ones) rioters, who killed hundreds police and civilians, and destroyed neighbors and mosques. Pompeo openly admitted it.

    Yet somehow this is all turned upside down into a narrative that better fit the official agenda. It’s like the Maidan 2.0.

    Am I watching CNN or FOX?

  • Misinformation

    Cherry picked information on a platter for autocratic anti-American regimes of all stripes to add to their propaganda. Amy loves to feature guests with ties to terrorists, like right after 10/7, a guest who said “we are all Hamas”. Leftists are the most naive people in the country and would watch it burn to satisfy their savior/guilt complex. Grew up listening to and watching this communist propaganda, now I know the truth. Never again. Antisemitic garbage.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Democracy Now! 2026-07-13 Monday
Q: How does media framing influence public perceptions of this crisis and the legitimacy of actions taken by the U.S.?
Media narratives have been used to present a simplified tale of either side's aggression, which helps political leaders justify aggressive posture; independent reporting, including from voices like Khalidi and Scahill, emphasizes the complexity of the situation and the legality of actions, urging scrutiny of official narratives.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-13 Monday
Q: What is your assessment of the current escalation between the U.S. and Iran and the role of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)?
The escalation reflects a larger pattern of miscalculation and propaganda, where both sides claim advantages while Iranian negotiators push back, and where U.S. efforts to bypass mutual terms undermine diplomacy; the MOU is being treated as a live framework rather than a fixed settlement, and Iran's position remains that the U.S. must de-escalate and abide by agreed terms.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-17 Friday
Q: Ari, what were your takeaways from last night's primetime address?
Ari Berman explains that Trump's speech was weak on new evidence, that many outlets chose not to air it, and that the speech appears to be groundwork for pressuring midterms rather than presenting verifiable facts.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-16 Thursday
Q: What changes are being proposed to the Endangered Species Act and why?
Levitin explains that the administration's change to remove the term 'harm' would allow destruction of habitat, undermining species protection and prompting the lawsuit by Earthjustice.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-16 Thursday
Q: What is your assessment of Todd Blanche as a potential attorney general?
Jayapal argues Blanche is not fit for the role, noting he acts as the president's personal attorney and raising concerns about his handling of Epstein files and other cases as a sign of unreliability for the office.
