Throughout the decadent, war-crazed Western world, many people are sharing what they’re seeing on the news. They claim that Iranians are dancing in the streets over Khamenei’s death.

But are you absolutely sure what you’re seeing is the full truth?

The West’s mainstream media has a long and notorious history. They spin stories in ways that shape a narrative. This is based on what the government demands.

Footage can be selective, context can be removed, and the way something is presented can completely change how it’s perceived. We have seen examples of this before, over and over again.

Think about coverage around events like 9/11, COVID, or even hurricanes and storms.

These places and others were where reporters were filmed kneeling in shallow water. They did this to make flooding look more dramatic. They would stand up moments later once the shot ended.

Moments like that make people question what they’re being shown. You can research this yourself.

The media has incentives and narratives. Therefore, it’s worth stepping back. Ask questions instead of immediately accepting every image or clip at face value.

Let’s walk through a completely hypothetical scenario for a second.

Imagine another country swoops in and kidnaps the current U.S. president. Now, be honest with yourself for a minute. How do you think Americans would react?

You know damn well there would be two very different reactions. One group would be devastated, mourning, angry, and shocked.

The other group would absolutely be celebrating in the streets. And don’t pretend that wouldn’t happen, because we all know it would.

Now, picture the media rolling in with their cameras. Do you think they’re going to focus on the grieving families and the people in shock?

Are they going to zoom in on the loudest footage they can find? This includes people cheering and dancing. Perhaps they will show people popping champagne.

Next thing you know, that’s the clip running on repeat across the world. ‘Look at this. Americans are celebrating that their tyrant and dictator is gone.’

Never mind that it might only be a small fraction of the population reacting that way. With the right camera angles, selective footage, and a little narrative framing, that tiny slice suddenly looks larger. It can even seem like the whole damn country.
