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.
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.
