At least Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin is admitting that the media is a willing accomplice to Iran – he believes they will just placidly and stupidly accept what Iran says in the deal:
US media largely not skeptical of Iran deal; GOP presidential candidates will be highly competitive in fierce denunciation of the pact

And if the media is gonna be “meh” about it, then they’ll sway the public of course:
Spidey sense: public opinion will become decidedly more pro-Iran deal than conservative elite view is. @SenBobCorker

Not even just regular conservatives, but only the “elite” give a crap. And Halperin will make sure no one else cares. And this is how they’ll do it:
In US politics now, race is on by both sides for man-bites-dog voices: Rs who support Iran deal & Ds who oppose

You’ll hear the media say, “yeah of course that’s what conservatives would say. that’s what we expect them to say!” in order to dismiss criticism of the deal. Just watch.
What a brave new world we inhabit.
