The death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has smoked out the media fans of the notorious terrorist leader in the mainstream media, and at the top of the list is the New York Times.

In its tribute to the fiendish murderer whose command of the terror organization was terminated with extreme prejudice in an Israeli airstrike on his compound in Beirut on Friday, the once-venerable “newspaper of record” described Nasrallah as “a towering figure” and “powerful orator” and claimed that he wanted religious “equality” for Muslims, Jews, and Christians.

In the Saturday piece with no writer byline titled “Protesters Mourn Nasrallah’s Death Around the World,” the paper heaped praise on the dearly departed terrorist mastermind, who it claimed “was a towering figure not only in Lebanon but across the Middle East.”

“Over his 32 years leading the organization, and with the support of Iran, he built Hezbollah into a domestic political force and one of the most heavily armed nonstate forces in the world. Mr. Nasrallah was opposed to Israel, which he called ‘the Zionist entity,’ and maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians,” the article reads.

“A powerful orator, he was beloved among many Shiite Muslims, a historically marginalized group in the Arab world, and created a state within a state in Lebanon that provided social services,” the Times stated, portraying Nasrallah as some sort of humanitarian icon.

The paper’s fawning portrayal of Nasrallah drew condemnation from X users who were shocked by the hagiographic revisionism of the villainous Hezbollah boss’s history.

“Reading The NY Times, one would think that Nasrallah was not a terrorist doing the bidding of theocrats in Tehran but a civil rights leader, marching for the equality of Jews, Christians, and Muslims,” wrote Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY). “Attempting the mass murder of Jews in Israel, as Hezbollah has done, is a strange way of fighting for equality.”

More reactions.

Competitor newspaper the New York Post reminded readers that Nasrallah was quoted in a 2004 New York Times article as saying “If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide,” so much for religious “equality.”

The Times wasn’t the only domestic media outlet that gushed about Nasrallah despite his responsibility for the deaths of thousands of innocent people, including Americans.

“Among his followers, Mr. Nasrallah was seen as a father figure, a moral compass, and a political guide,” according to the Washington Post, where “democracy dies in darkness” but B.S. flourishes.

“Charismatic and shrewd,” wrote AP, which should stand for Associated Propaganda.

The media is determined to prove why it is distrusted and despised by the vast majority of Americans who view the corrupted institution as an enemy of the people.
