| 0:00.0 | The Western media is justifying and whitewashing the US-Israeli illegal war on Iran, |
| 0:05.8 | just as they did for the catastrophes of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. |
| 0:10.2 | We are going to give examples of this ludicrous and outrageous bias, |
| 0:15.0 | which underlines that the Western media plays a crucial role in the West War Machine. |
| 0:19.2 | And we're also going to discuss the outrageous role of other Western leaders, |
