CBS report: Iranians still chant 'Death to America,' but 'more out of habit'

The original tweet by @CBSThisMorning has gone missing, but there are screenshots making the rounds seeming to confirm what many thought they saw earlier: a tweet reporting that Friday prayers in Iran were peppered with “the usual” chants of “Death to America”; however, in the wake of the historic agreement on a nuclear framework reached earlier this week, those chants were made “more out of habit than conviction.”

Blogger extraordinaire Sooper Mexican proposes that CBS removed the tweet because the network “is nervous that this obvious sign of evil intent might persuade Americans against Obama’s idiotic nuke deal. Because that’s what the mainstream media does.”

It’s no big deal, really.
