New York Times Slammed For Labeling Embassy-Storming Mob As ‘Mourners’

The New York Times caught flack after the publication labeled Iranian-controlled militias, which attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, as “mourners.”

“Hundreds of Iraqi mourners tried to storm the United States Embassy in Baghdad, shouting ‘Down, down USA!,’ in response to deadly American airstrikes this week that killed 25 fighters,” the paper said in a Tuesday tweet.

Fix your tweet. Mourners? What a flat out lie.

The tweet met with swift condemnation from those saying they were parroting Iranian propaganda. Protesters shouted, “Death to America,” as they broke into the embassy compound.

Your “mourners” must be upset about a video. But these attackers are Hezbollah supporters. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. #fixthis @nytimes https://t.co/43p72T49so

The demonstration came in response to airstrikes by the United States against Iranian-backed militias, which were stationed in Iraq. The U.S. has sent in Marines to help reinforce the compound.

Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi called the airstrikes an “outrageous attack.” Mahdi called for a three-day mourning period following the strikes.

The Iraqi military said an attack on foreign embassies would be “punishable by law with the most severe penalties.” The U.S. ambassador to Iraq is planning to return to the embassy in Baghdad to show that “America is not going to flinch in the face of this pressure.”
