Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[putnam6]

If as is reported Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the attack that killed his father it would make no sense appointing him to his fathers position if he was in a coma , reports are that he was injured but not seriously.

Hard to trust anything Ive read, he is in an ICU in a coma, completely unaware of the war or the deaths in his family, lost a leg, and has abdominal injuries, and there was a dispute over his selection to begin with.

“This is because, more than being biased to the left or right, the media is biased towards conflict: Young voters upset with Biden about climate, or MAGA voters upset with Trump about Iran make for juicy, conflict-driven stories. Never mind whether or not they’re true. The media is also biased towards high engagement voters: journalists ourselves are highly engaged with politics, and often so are our peer groups, and our audiences, and our sources.

This means we try to capture the perspective of youth voters by covering a youth-led protest, or MAGA voters by talking to a MAGA media figure, even if this gives us nothing approaching a representative sample of the group in question. Polls are not perfect, but they are the best thing we have to capture what large groups of Americans are thinking in a rigorous, empirical way. If journalists spent more time immersing themselves in the data, and less time taking the word of highly engaged activists with ideological agendas, you would have fewer stories falsely claiming that there is a MAGA split on Iran, when the data tells us there very much is not.”
