As tensions with Iran continue to dominate headlines, critics say some major news outlets are shaping the narrative in ways that reflect elitist bias rather than balanced reporting. Nicholas Fondacaro, associate editor at Media Research Center’s NewsBusters, joins us to break down what he calls the “worst of the elitist media” in their coverage of Iran. Fondacaro points to examples where major networks have downplayed Iranian protests, echoed regime talking points, or framed U.S. and Israeli actions as the primary source of instability while minimizing Iran’s role in regional aggression. He argues these narratives often leave out key context and fail to highlight the voices of Iranians opposing the regime, raising concerns about how Americans are being informed about a critical foreign policy issue
