A resurfaced clip shows Fox commentators waving away the Iran war as a non-factor in the midterms, a claim that looks badly wrong in hindsight.

• Before the election, pundits cited a Fox poll claiming only a small share of voters cared about Iran, predicting it would not sway the midterms.
• Critics now argue that take was dead wrong, pointing to a Republican wipeout they say was tied to the war.
• The commentary also blames a broader pattern of U.S. media figures pushing the country into repeated wars, which critics say has helped drain the government's finances.
• The clip is being replayed specifically to highlight how confidently wrong the original prediction was.

Outlook: Expect continued finger-pointing at media figures and pundits over the Iran war's political fallout as the midterm results get picked apart.
