Jane Koston: 我在节目中向《洋葱报》致敬，因为他们就伊朗袭击事件向每位国会议员邮寄了一份特别的信息。特朗普对有线电视新闻的关注，特别是福克斯新闻，对他的决策产生了重大影响，包括对伊朗采取军事行动。在对伊朗核设施发动袭击之前，MAGA媒体界对袭击的智慧和卷入另一场中东战争的风险存在分歧。特朗普有能力让他的支持者转变立场，将袭击描绘成避免中东战争的成功举措，但这并不现实。宗教自由的法律概念旨在确保少数宗教信仰者能够实践他们的信仰。美国的宗教自由因那些实践你可能一无所知的宗教的人而受到保护和加强。 Tim Kaine: 美国在过去曾干预伊朗内政，这给伊朗留下了不好的记忆。美国帮助推翻了伊朗民选政府，并扶植了残暴统治的沙阿。 Brian Stelter: MAGA媒体主要是由评论员和政治评论员组成，他们对特朗普的忠诚度很高，但缺乏对该地区的深入了解。MAGA媒体内部存在明显的分歧，一些声音持孤立主义立场，但他们在过去几天里被边缘化了。在福克斯新闻上，几乎一直都是支持战争和支持特朗普的论调。当故事涉及特朗普与他的选民时，中间派的影响者会试图通过电视、播客或TikTok视频直接与特朗普对话，以保持他们的影响力和地位。数字媒体评论员试图影响总统，但很少表达犹豫或怀疑。除了福克斯新闻之外，其他主要新闻网络对这次军事行动进行了全面报道，但也需要关注哪些故事被暂时搁置了。新闻报道反映了特朗普的声明与实际情况之间的差距。与2003年入侵伊拉克相比，这次事件的视频资料很少，而且特朗普政府与福克斯新闻的关系更加紧密。特朗普政府限制美国之音和自由欧洲电台等媒体的运作，阻碍了它们在伊朗传播准确信息和揭露虚假信息的能力。我既希望有像Terry Moran这样表达鲜明观点的人，也希望像ABC News这样秉持公正立场的媒体能够蓬勃发展。我们需要意识到特朗普政府可能施加的压力，但现在人们的意识比几个月前更强了，并且通过法律诉讼来提高这种意识。

Shownotes Transcript

Iran fired missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar Monday in retaliation for American strikes on three nuclear enrichment sites, marking another major escalation in the growing Middle East conflict. The Qatari government said U.S. forces were able to intercept those missiles. And President Donald Trump downplayed the strikes on Truth Social, writing Iran had alerted the government ahead of time and now "gotten it all out of their 'system.'" The situation is changing quickly, and each development is being chronicled by the media, from the traditional major news networks to MAGA influencers. Brian Stelter, chief media analyst for CNN, breaks down how the media is covering what could become another U.S. conflict in the Middle East.

And in headlines: The Supreme Court gave the Trump administration the green light to quickly deport migrants wherever it wants, New York City starts the process of voting for its next mayor, and the U.S. government moves to keep a wrongfully deported man in detention ahead of his pending trial.
