From video game clips to cartoon characters to blockbuster movie scenes, the administration's Iran messaging has embraced a style that critics say blurs the line between propaganda and entertainment and risks reducing a real war to spectacle. They told us in a statement in part -- quote -- "The legacy media wants us to apologize for highlighting the United States military's incredible success, but the White House will continue showcasing the many examples of Iran's ballistic missiles, production facilities, and dreams of owning a nuclear weapon being destroyed in real time." And I don't like to see it reduced to some sort of a gaming strategy type of event, if that's been in fact what's happening, because it's really real to the families that are involved, like ours.
