Media Decay: The New York Times shedding tears for Hassan Nasrallah
Terror master Hassan Nasrallah is dead at the hands of the heroic IDF, and The New York Times is very upset.
Per the paper’s simpering posthumous piece on the former Hezbollah chief — killed in a daring airstrike on the headquarters of his murderous cadre — Nasrallah was a “gifted orator” who “maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians.”
The piece’s headline ran “Protesters Mourn Nasrallah’s Death Around the World.”
That echoed The Washington Post’s equally obsequious piece, praising Nasrallah for transforming Hez into a “potent regional force” and portraying him as a cuddly and beloved religious leader.
What’s next — a reappraisal of Hitler over his oratorical gifts or Mussolini and his train-schedule improvements?
Maybe a paean to the egalitarian desires of Pol Pot? The unshakable faith of Jim Jones?
Look, we get that the Times, the (other) Post and much of the rest of the media have turned deeply anti-Israel, with much of their audience hungry for terror apologia.
But Nasrallah was as bad as they got — a bought-and-paid-for-satrap of Iran’s regional hegemonic project; a blood-spattered, terror-dealing antisemite and Holocaust denier.
