TEHRAN—In a bid to cut costs and save time, Iran has announced that its 24/7 state propaganda station will be replaced with an MSNBC broadcast.

The decision to broadcast MSNBC instead of official state propaganda came after an MSNBC reporter parroted the false claims of the Iranian government after yesterday's rocket attacks.

"Why spend so much time creating propaganda to brainwash our people when MSNBC could do it for us?" a representative for Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting said to reporters. "It takes a lot of work to put together news broadcasts that obscure the truth and tell the masses exactly what we want them to believe. But MSNBC has it down -- they really understand what we're trying to do. We decided we had to get those experts on our team."

The Iranian people say they have noticed no difference in the bias of the one television station they're allowed to watch after the switch occurred, except "maybe it skews a little more anti-America now."

Will the Iranians CGI hijabs on the women presenters? For some the MSNBC women, going full burkhas would be an improvement.

Great!

Reality is funnier than satire at times.

LOL!

...although, I'm not 100% sure this really is satire...

I trust the BB more than any news media for truth; it’s there but you have to be sophisticated enough to know where it is.

I can almost hear Rodney Dangerfield telling this one. “I thought I was watchin’ Iranian state-run TV and it turned out it was MSNBC!”

Brave woman tears down a “Death to America” poster.

The crowd is heard chanting, “Death to the dictator,” in a reference to @Khamenei_ir.

Iranians have no enmity against the U.S. or the American people.

This is a 40-year lie promoted by the mullahs only. #IranProtests

The Mullahs should have gotten CNN. CNN pays to have their broadcasts aired.

I’m waiting for the song, “O Soleimani!”

O Soleimani!
You blowed up real good,
I see your face over here,
I see you behind over there,
What a wonderful thing a drone can be . .
