Greenwald Calls Out NYT, CNN For Equivocating On U.S. Bombing Of Hospital
[su_center_b]
Glenn Greenwald properly tagged the New York Times and CNN with their unwillingness to bluntly call the strike on an Afghanistan hospital what it was: a bombing by U.S. forces.
We now have an active agent identified in the headline, rather than the passive "Hospital Hit by an Airstrike" https://t.co/oAlj7pd0lS

Now that US has officially admitted carrying out the airstrike, might @nytimes & @CNN find the courage to say this? https://t.co/EK3eqppvGI

Greenwald writes:
“From the start, not even the U.S. military had the audacity to try to obscure that they did this,” Greenwald concludes in his piece. “They left that dirty work to their leading media outlets, which, as usual, are more than eager and happy to comply.”
