    Oh right. The “liberal news media.” The one that’s owned by six billionaires. The one that sucks up to Trump constantly. The one that’s constantly doing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ in response to Trump’s demented bullshit. THAT liberal news media.

    As if starving and murdering detainees in ICE concentration camps weren’t enough.

    What a motherfucker.

    So I listened to it and heard nothing about death penalties for reporters. Am I missing something?

      Quoting Trump’s post, the nugget of truth is from:

      The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!

      Which they turned into “Demands Death Penalty” because DailyBeast is a tabloid.

      TBH I’m sick of DailyBeast and Rawstory showing up in my Lemmy feed. I’d argue they violate this community’s “credible sources” rule.

        Yeah no, the president saying people should be charged with something thats punishment is death or life in prison is exactly that… saying those journalists should be put to death or life in prison for what they have written.

          It’s tough, because I don’t want to give him or the American justice system the benefit of the doubt, but I really hate the misrepresentation of this in the media. Charging someone with treason doesn’t mean they’ll be imprisoned or executed, it means they’ll be put on trial. If this story had addressed the potential for the president to bias the country against these reporters by calling personally for them to be charged with treason, I would be a lot less annoyed by the headline, but it’s inaccurate and they didn’t put any actual investigation into this piece.

          It might be splitting hairs, but I really do wish for exhaustive Nuremberg style trials when I call this regime criminal, treasonous, and genocidal. I wouldn’t mourn if a few of them didn’t make it to trial, but I don’t want them to be able to take their secrets to the grave en masse.

        I’m sorry but I’ve seen plenty of people lose their jobs and get a visit from SS because they mentioned Trump’s actions were treasonous. Which someone then interpreted as death threats. One side doesn’t get to point fingers and then play coy when they do it themselves.

        Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations. They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at “feeding” the very appreciative Fake News Media false information. Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is! The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies. Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information! The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they “win” are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility! I am so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic “News” Organizations. They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, “FIRED.” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

        Of course Bill Clinton was one of the best ones, but who is counting THE LAST OK DECADE (90’s). Everything was horrible after that. Everyone who was an adult in 2000 knows everything turned to poop.

          You’re not wrong. The SCROTUS deciding the 2000 election was an early warning sign, then 9/11 came and it just kept getting worse from there.

    Iran does have sea drones, and they have made giant holes in tankers at sea level with them. Iraq claimed that 2 of them were used to turn 2 real tankers into 2 giant fireballs in their harbour. I have seen AI of 20 simultaneous missiles hitting downtown Tel Aviv, but a bigger problem than AI on Israel is that Israel is criminalizing the sharing of strike information, with selective permission after for whining about civilian areas. There is a lot of damage every night in Israel.

    Trump said the rallies in big square of Tehran are also fake, and even the hits Israel/Israelis admit to are fake. Same with GCC hits that GCC acknowledges.

    If using AI for fake news, there is a Netanyahu video out early today, where his wedding ring fades in and out. He should then give death penalty to IDF/Netanyahu (he could be hiding instead of dead) for fake news.

    It is next level, Hitler’s bunker, and losing, to be resorting to this level of desperation.
