Once again, MAZE has gifted us with a then vs. now video of CNN being CNN. On June 19, CNN's Erin Burnett stated that, according to CNN's reporting, Iran was three years away from building a nuclear weapon. What's the rush? Let's wait until they have one and then start bombing.
A few days later, she was forced to admit that the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were "a big deal."
MAZE (@mazemoore) ~ Erin Burnett five days ago: Iran is years away from a nuclear weapon. Trump is risking starting a world war for no reason.
Erin Burnett today: Iran's nuclear program has only been set back a few months. This is a big deal.
This is CNN.

So, which is it, Erin? Is Iran YEARS away from having a nuclear bomb, which therefore means they never should have been attacked, OR did our consequential assault on Iran's nuclear facilities only set them back a few months from having a nuclear bomb?
For more context on Erin's latest take ...
Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) ~ 🚨🚨 The reporter who wrote the original story that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation is the same reporter who is now using deep state sources to claim classified intelligence shows we only put Iran back a few months.
Julio Murillo (@JEM_el_tarasco) ~ Went from years to months real quick. Talk about moving the goalposts. 😅
Gabriel Mican (@youwishmusic) ~ Congrats on being a disingenuous clown, Erin.
Speaking of being a disingenuous clown, this is the same Erin Burnett who claims that Iranians' chants of "Death to America" actually come from a place of friendliness. This isn't new for CNN. Back in 2021, reporter Clarissa Ward, clad in a hijab in Afghanistan, told us that "they’re just chanting death to America, but they seem friendly at the same time. It’s utterly bizarre."
Well, CNN is the Fiery, But Mostly Peaceful Riots Network, after all.
We've heard a lot of hot takes on "Death to America." Just a few days ago, Obama's Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, Richard Stengel, reported that Iranians do indeed chant "Death to America," but are respectful about it.
The other night, Burnett recalled to Dana Bash the time when she was in Tehran surrounded by people who were chanting, "Death to America," but there was a friendliness to it.
Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) ~ CNN’s Erin Burnett says there’s a “friendliness” to Iranians who chant ‘Death to America’:
“I remember, Dana, one point being in Tehran years ago and they’re chanting death to America all around me, even as I say, ‘oh, I'm an American, reporting for CNN.’ And they were happy to speak to me, so — so those two sort of jarring realities of the chant and yet, the — the friendliness have existed together.”

Yeah, according to CNN ...
JWF (@JammieWF) ~ They might be an Islamonazi death cult, but they're our Islamonazi death cult.
Laura Rosen Cohen (@LauraRosenCohen) ~ It was a mostly peaceful “Death to America” chant.
Jojo (@Jojo09987) ~ I wonder what happens if she’s alone without her camera among them ... will they be friendly to her?
Nah ... within a few minutes she be stripped naked, gang raped, and bleeding out of every orifice she has. Then, Round 2 would commence.
Charlotte (@Charlot57076751) ~ They just wanted to be seen on propaganda TV!
Exactly. Of course, they're happy to speak with CNN.
Dianna Deeley (@DiannaDeeley) ~ Yes, I'm always struck by the warmth of people who say they want me dead.
Echo 1 Project (@Echo1Project) ~ I think it's safe to say at this point that the MSM isn't just anti-Trump, but also anti-America and literally cheering for our enemies.
Dropsy Kildare (@CrassSquatch) ~
Not really.
Radically Right (@RadicallyRight_) ~ Erin Burnett wants us to believe Iranians chanting “Death to America” is just their quirky way of saying hello. That’s CNN for you — they’d call a middle finger a friendly handshake if it fit the script.
James V. Barcia (@jamesbarcia) ~ ANY enemy of America is a near and dear friend to @CNN.
Frank Masucci (@FrankMasuc49296) ~ So, if people chant 'Death to CNN' they would see it as friendly?
Poor Jim Acosta feared for his life when he had to cover Trump campaign rallies where the crowd chanted, "CNN sucks." He even wrote a book about what a dangerous time it was to be a reporter in America.
Well, ol' Jimmy-poo Acosta is a quivering pussy, so ...
We've been assured that "Death to America" doesn't mean death to Americans — it means they actually want the American people freed from their oppressive system of government. Katie Carpenter explained to us that "People taking offense to the phrase 'Death to America' are either being intentionally obtuse or they don't understand what it means. It doesn't mean literal death to the people here. It's not inciting violence. It means people want to destroy the oppressive system we live under."
Since the mullah's regime is just so downright friendly, I think CNN's headquarters and all of its broadcast facilities need to be moved to Tehran.
