Since #Israel's attack on #Iran, the #NYT and #WSJ have been pushing a pro-regime change agenda hard, mostly using nuclear fears and “terrorism” as justification.
But history shows regime change in the #MiddleEast usually ends in disaster.
Meanwhile, these papers ignore the damage sanctions cause regular Iranians and sidestep the double standard with Israel’s own nukes and actions in Gaza.

On Feb 22, 2019, the Wall Street Journal dropped a bombshell: popular health apps, including Flo, were quietly leaking reproductive health data to Facebook. No warning. No opt-out. Investigative journalism matters!

#DOJ escalates its attacks on judges who rule against Trump; university presidents who have faculty support to resist: #WSJ
Just when do these #MAGA# Congress members begin to understand that HE will come for them? This is a clear scheme to manipulate/control the judiciary. It is how they message their progrom. No horses, no whips, . . . just the fire of #TruthSocial and the weapon is #PamBondi and her league of corrupt lawyers.

#Trump on July 18 sued the #WSJ, its owners including #RupertMurdoch, & the #reporters who wrote the story asserting Trump's name was on a 2003 birthday greeting for #JeffreyEpstein that included a sexually suggestive drawing & a reference to secrets they shared.
In a court filing on Monday, lawyers for Trump asked the federal court in Miami, Florida to compel Murdoch, 94, to testify within 15 days, in part due to his advanced age.
#Trump on Monday asked a US judge to order a swift #deposition for billionaire #RupertMurdoch in his *#defamation* lawsuit against the #WSJ over its July 17 article about Trump's relationship w/ the late financier & [fellow] #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein.

“Perhaps a large part of the reason the Wall Street Journal is laundering Mossad propaganda is because it is owned by Rupert Murdoch , the media mogul with close connections to Israel”
