Will the #FakeNews media support war with Iran because Trump opposes it?

The news is out; Trump scolded some of his aids about wanting a war with Iran.

This puts the #FakeNews media into a conundrum.  Their sole purpose in life is to oppose Trump and elect Democrat candidates.

They're on record as condemning all the military involvements in the Middle East, except for Obama's totally unnecessary destabilization of Libya, and they've been attacking Trump for the US governments approach to Iran. They've even been talking about how the Iranian situation is escalating.

So now they can either commend Trump for not supporting a war or they can find some way to attack him for opposing a war.  There's actually a third option simply not report on his objection to a war.  That option is probably gone since the NYT has already mentioned it.

Odds are they'll find some way to attack him. Perhaps they'll condemn him for having chosen aids who don't agree with him though that wouldn't make much sense since he's got the final call.

Time will tell.
