15. Did Kernan dispute the LIE that "Iran was about to get a nuclear weapon"?

No objective sources agreed with that, and Trump asserted less than a year ago he had completely "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capability.

Kernan did more than most, sad to say, but it was still weak sauce compared to what's needed. With thorough fact checking in real time, the media is platforming lies.
