From the article:

"The point? There is a substantial portion of the Iranian people who are pleased that Trump took out Soleimani but nevertheless felt pressured to attend his funeral processions."

Continued from the source:

“Alinejad chastised the “Western media” for being properly skeptical of “state-organized events” in places like North Korea and Russia while at the same time displaying “unwarranted gullibility toward the official version of events” coming out of Iran.”

“She also lamented separately on social media how she herself has tried to inform her colleagues in the “Western media” — such as CNN, The New York Times and even The Washington Post itself — about the truth of what is occurring in Iran, to little avail. Yet, those same outlets have had no problem broadcasting all of the manufactured details of a state-run funeral procession for a mass-murdering terrorist.”

Watch this short video clip. This Iranian guy is great at explaining the turnout to a reporter.

Maybe FOX NEWS will stop broadcasting their handsome portraits of this monstrous killer, as recently as yesterday. They didn’t give Mother Theresa that much loving treatment for days after her death. And perhaps they can explain their fulsome coverage of Mike Lee’s nasty comments blasting the President for assassinating this terrorist leader.

A familiar pattern, someone from the target country assuring us that 90% (never 75% or 80%) of the people in the target country hate the regime. How long before this author or another is assuring us that the people will be out in the streets cheering US troops who invade and throwing flowers to them?

I, for one, need a lot more convincing that whether or not Iranians hate the regime determines whether or not they'd resist a foreign invader kicking the regime out and then hanging around as occupiers for twelve to twenty years.

...Masih Alinejad wrote an Op-Ed in The Washington Post, published Monday, that contained a simple yet important message for the U.S. media and those who pay attention to it: “Don’t take what you’re seeing at face value.”

Our press is so stupid they fall for Soros 'bought and paid for' fake protest - so of course they'd fall for this crap. The Washington Post probably 'feels' the women in North Korea really are 'crying for joy' when the see the chief thug...

We will know that Iran has been pulled back from the brink when the Iranian People convert en masse to Christianity.

The press only do the bidding of the Democrat Party. She should have chided the Democrats, severely. It would have had a greater impact, and by extension it would have encompassed the press.

Sorry no sale enough of the population supposed these losers. The Iranian people are no friends to anyone least of all themselves. They have become a garbage culture. It’s time to stop with this illusion the people want some other form government that isn’t maniacal. The sooner these folks get the message we make no distinction between them and the mullahs the faster things get better

After the U.S. took out Saddam Hussein, CNN’s Eason Jordan who was the bureau chief of their Baghdad office, wrote an Op Ed for the New York Times. In it he admitted that all the news that came out of Iraq via CNN had to first be approved by the Hussein regime. In other words, it was propaganda....

Back in the Death to America days, while Iran had our hostages, they had tons of students here, most in engineering, for obvious reasons. There were stories about the ‘expectations’ of these students if they wanted to keep getting money for college from the Mullahs...so they had to protest the US, on US soil, if they didn’t want to be sent home (and likely having bad things happen then).

So any pro-regime ‘protests’ or demonstrations is simply fake.

Like I’ve been saying... What Iran fears most is a revolution. And that’s now possible with Hussein no longer POTUS

True. I’ve seen some here actually believe the MSM videos. We need to be as wary of their propaganda as we were of the old USSR pictures. Things are not rosy over there. The people are sick and tired of being isolated from the modern world and struggling to pay bills, get gas, get groceries. National feeling will always take a back seat to these things when it’s your government that is the source of the problems.

Anyone on twitter can check out #ThxPOTUS4Soleimani and #FREEIRAN and see clearly the pictures and homemade videos of people in Iran celebrating, making cakes with “Thanks, President Trump” on them in Farsi, and dancing in their homes. The crowds supposedly “mourning” have been bought: with promises of prison release, money, whatever. Watch those crowds in videos. They are low-energy, and most look bored. Astro-turfing, folks. It’s not reality.
