Iran’s Messaging About The Downed Airliner Echoes Democrats and Liberal Media – PJ Media

President Trump has accused the media of being "enemies of the people," and he has been proven to be even more correct than he could have known.

Iranian officials originally denied responsibility for the Ukrainian airliner that crashed near Tehran. On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Sharif tweeted his official statement about it, he conceded it was accidentally shot down, but blamed the United States, nonetheless.

Human error at time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster, he tweeted.

Of course! They shot down the plane, but it's America's fault, which is to say it's Donald Trump's fault! Just as the left couldn't quite celebrate the news that General Soleimani had been killed, they also are willing participants in the Blame America Brigade, even Democrats running for president.

American media has also chosen the blame America narrative. In their story about the crash, the Associated Press published a story with the headline, An Iranian general dies in U.S. attack, and innocents suffer, which prompted significant outrage. The Associated Press attempted to explain the absurd headline.

The headline was updated to more clearly describe what the story is about: Canadians struggling to come to terms with how the killing of an Iranian general in a U.S. drone strike may have led to the deaths of dozens of their citizens in a plane crash, an AP spokesperson told Fox News.

Why is it that the messaging of Democrats and the media so often sounds the same as that of our enemies? Is it because Barack Obama made it cool, is it Trump Derangement Syndrome as usual, or something bigger?
