The 2020 election is not just about Trump, but also the collapse of the Democratic "Socialist" Pelosi Party and the meltdown of credibility in the news media.
While the US news media chose to glorify the Iranian terror leader and support the radical Iranian revolutionaries over the President of the United States, the world news services got it right by reporting on the protests against the Iranian government.

Here is how American news outlets viewed the Iranian crisis.
MONTAGE: MEDIA MOURN LOSS OF IRANIAN TERROR LEADER
‘He’s regarded as personally incredibly brave’
Jan 6, 2020 7:37 PM
By Tom Elliott
News of the strike
on the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani is being felt not just in Iran but
also in U.S. newsrooms.
Many in the major media
are portraying the death of the terror leader as a grave loss to
humanity.
The morning Soleimani’s
killing was first reported, CBS’s Holly Williams described him as a “revered
figure” and a “war hero.”
“He wasn’t well-known in
the United States, but he was one of the most powerful figures in the Middle
East, sometimes even touted as a possible future leader of Iran,” Williams
said. “For America, though, General Soleimani was a problem.”
CNN’s
Fareed Zakaria agreed with Williams that Soleimani is “revered” in
Iran: “Imagine the French Foreign Legion, at the height of the French empire.
This guy is regarded in Iran as a completely heroic figure, personally very
brave.”
Picking up on the French
theme, Zakaria’s CNN colleague, Anderson Cooper, likened him to the World War
II leader, Charles DeGaulle, calling him “personally incredibly brave” and
reporting that “the troops love him.”
CBS’s National Security
Contributor Michael Morell praised Soleimani’s military prowess,
likening him to an “evil genius.”
Morell’s CBS colleague,
Holly Williams, agreed: “Even many of Soleimani’s enemies admitted he was a
military genius. He spearheaded Iran’s involvement in a Syrian Civil War hoping
to shore up the Syrian regime’s grip on power. … By killing Qasem Soleimani,
the U.S. has stripped Iran of an inspirational military leader. But it’s also
further inflamed dangerously high tensions. Iran has already vowed to take,
quote, harsh revenge.”
During Monday’s funeral
for the dispatched Quds Force leader, ABC’s Martha Raddatz — reporting from
Tehran in a headscarf — appeared awestruck at the display: “I have been in the
midst of anti-America protests in Iran before, but nothing like this. A
powerful combination of grief and anger with shouts of ‘death to America’
echoing through the streets around us. This morning, mourners filling the
streets of Iran's capital of Tehran for the funeral of general Soleimani killed
by that U.S. drone strike last week. Aerial images capturing the sea of
Iranians packing the streets to pay tribute to a man revered by many
here.”
NBC’s
Richard Engel, also reporting from the funeral procession, said the United
States had elevated the terror mastermind into martyr status: “Now, after
this killing, you saw people not only going out in the streets in millions, as
Ali was describing, he was there, but throwing articles of their own clothing
up onto the coffin so that attendants could rub it on the coffin so that they
would have some sort of memento of an object that was close to Qasem
Soleimani’s body. They turned him into a martyr, if not a saint. And we’re
seeing now all around the region Shiite groups, allies of Iran speaking in one
voice, and that is that U.S. troops have to leave the region, should be forced
out of the region starting with Iraq.”
