Second, until the NYT's report 2 weeks later, media repeatedly and unquestioningly spread the Biden Admin's false story that the drone strike killed ISIS terrorists headed to the airport with bombs, and that this caused "secondary explosions." This dominated news for 2 weeks: https://t.co/BREf8GH74v — PolitiTweet.org

Several points about the above video report on how the Biden Admin lied about the Aug. 29 drone strike and was helped by uncritical media endorsing the false claim that they killed ISIS terrorists - until the NYT's Sept 10 great exposé. First, there's no doubt the Pentagon lied: https://t.co/gMXB2jhcHj — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond that, the fact that a rarity happened here -- not that the Pentagon lied but that it got caught lying -- is almost secondary. The point is that this media practice -- of publishing US Govt claims about who they killed with drone strikes *with zero skepticism* -- is common. https://t.co/oWlXGvNF2U — PolitiTweet.org
