At 8:17 tonight, MSNBC reported that there were at least 30 Americans killed in the Iranian missile attacks. The reporter did say that the number was not "fully verified". In reality, not a single American was killed. In fact, it seems that not a single American was wounded.
This "mistake" by MSNBC is outrageous. It shows just how badly the left wants to see America get a bloody nose at the hands of the Iranians or any other adversary. As far as I can tell, no other networks put out fake casualty numbers like MSNBC did. Not even CNN was so reckless in its reporting.
Remember, there are thousands of American servicemen and women in Iraq tonight. Their families in the USA could have heard the MSNBC report and then gone through the agony of waiting to hear if their loved one was one of the supposed dead. No family ought to be subjected to that just so MSNBC can exaggerate what happened.
MSNBC owes the nation an apology for this latest outburst of fake news.
By the way, I realize that the families of armed services members who are in Iraq are highly unlikely to watch MSNBC. There's no point in watching people who hate you. Still, what MSNBC did is unforgiveable.
