Oliver Darcy Reveals Why the Press Refused to Call Trump's Iran Threat What It Actually Was

The American press watched a sitting U.S. president threaten to wipe out a civilization of 90 million people — and called it "strategic rhetoric." Jim Acosta and Oliver Darcy break down how mainstream media failed its biggest test yet, why legal experts, Amnesty International, and the Pope had no trouble using the word "war crime" when newsrooms wouldn't, and what it tells us about who's really holding power accountable right now. The ceasefire is fragile, the threat is on the record, and the story isn't over.
