Chris Cuomo criticized The New York Times for a headline that misrepresented the effectiveness of President Trump's airstrikes on Iran, implying they failed. He emphasized how 60% of readers only view headlines, leading to distorted perceptions. Cuomo argued that the article contained information that contradicted the headline, saying that while the headline suggested failure, the reality was that the necessary equipment for nuclear enrichment had likely been damaged. He accused the media of intentionally manipulating public perception.
Cuomo pointed out that typically 60% of readers simply read a headline while a quarter make it halfway through an article. Do you know who knows that? The Times and other dirty people in the media, he said.
Cuomo argued that the Times pushed a 'we're screwed' headline. They know you're going to take it like that, he said.
Deep down in the piece, deep down you had to read this one. To cover their hiney, he further argued, the Times wrote that the equipment needed to enrich the uranium to make a nuke had been damaged or destroyed, probably beyond repair.
Talk about perverting perception to distort reality, Cuomo said. Trump approved strikes against Iran last month following tensions rising between the country and Israel.
