Footage appears to show a CBS reporter being told not to cover a rally celebrating the US-Israel joint strikes on Iran – before he proceeds to do so anyway!
The incident unfolded Saturday in Austin, Texas, as a large group gathered in front of the Texas Capitol praising President Donald Trump for the strikes earlier in the day that reportedly decapitated the leader of Iran’s oppressive religious regime, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Video posted to Facebook by CBS Austin captioned, “WATCH: People gather at Texas Capitol in support of U.S. and Israel’s actions against Iran” showed the group celebrating, waving Iranian flags, and chanting, “Thank you Trump!” and “Thank you Bibi,” as reporter Vinny Martorano appears on screen getting ready to film a report.
Martorano is then handed a phone and reads a message, before asking a producer, “What does that mean?”
“It means they don’t want us to focus on this,” the off-camera producer replies.

Martorano looks around momentarily, before responding, “Well, I am.”
He proceeds to film a report describing the celebratory scene saying, “Some people like this group behind me are thanking Trump and the United States government for following through with this attack against Iran, while other people across the city say there needs to be more peace in the Middle East.”
The reporter also posted a clip to X captioned, “‘Thank you Trump’ A large group of people in front of the Texas Capitol are celebrating the coordinated strike against Iran early this morning.”

As Infowars reported Saturday, celebrations appeared to break out in Iran following the joint strikes on Tehran and other parts of the country, with residents evidently joyful at the possible elimination of the nation’s oppressive regime, despite reports of casualties.
But why is the mainstream media trying to suppress coverage of these celebrations?
