Were you following the news during the "War on Terror"/"War in Iraq" era? Because the Kissinger coverage, while infuriating, pales in comparison to the horse shit the media was uncritically publishing in the early 2000s. The story that sticks out in my mind the most is the Tora Bora mountain fortress/lair[1], but there are plenty of others. Many of those responsible for this crap failed upwards[2].

Or the 3d visualization of a very similar complex supposedly under a hospital in gaza, that a major US newspaper ran just a few months ago. The exact same institutions are doing the exact same things now.
