I would highly suggest everyone take a look at how MSM sources are describing this assassination.

If you had any faith at all that CNN, CBS, etc are resisting the fascist takeover of America let it remove the last of your naivete.

if it's consolation, nobody but boomers is wating those 3-4 letter news networks. for better or worse, most people get their news from streamers/tiktokkers/podcasters/varipus other types of "influencer" now.

the only legacy network with any sort of presence still is Fox/Murdochs propaganda sphere

I don't think it's as simple as that — there is also bribe money from a bunch of the Arab petromonarchies, personal ego, and incompetent negotiation in the mix. There isn't a single reason, which means that the aftermath is going to be handled in a way that's incredibly detrimental to US interests.
