CNBC has taken some heat for its framing of the U.S. airstrike in Baghdad that led to the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. WASHINGTON POST BLASTED FOR REFERRING TO QASSIM SOLEIMANI AS IRAN'S 'MOST REVERED MILITARY LEADER'As U.S. officials confirmed Soleimani's death late Thursday, the business network tweeted: "America just took out the world's no. 1 bad guy" above a link to a piece by political and economic analyst Jake Novak. "CNBC has nothing to do with 'journalism'; it's a corporate propaganda machine for the US [sic] empire and national security state. "This headline has been updated to reflect that this is an opinion column," CNBC added to the bottom of the piece.
