Some in the media are actually suggesting the Iranian protesters are the terrorists. The mainstream media is siding with Iran. The MSM is protecting the terror nation of Iran as best they can.
Toby Young Extraordinarily one-sided report on the Iranian protests in the @guardian, essentially siding with the regime. Has the left ever been more morally bankrupt? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/31/protesters-who-spread-fear-and-violence-will-be-confronted-says-iran?CMP=share_btn_tw …
The guardian posted Iranian propaganda in their one-sided article.
Then there is this lie:
Many senior figures within the reformist camp and the opposition Green movement remain perplexed as to how to respond to the current wave of unrest. The sharp nature of some of the slogans, which have challenged the foundations of the Islamic republic, have left them mute.
CNN Quotes Iranian Front Groups
CNN is also doing their part, quoting Iranian front groups like the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), and claiming it’s not a revolution, just a civil rights movement or some angst over economic concerns.
That is similar to the lie coming out of the International Crisis Group as well. They’re funded by George Soros. It’s nothing, not a movement, not a revolution, it’s nothing.
They made it about Trump and his tweet warning Iran. Quoting Trita Parsi of the front group NIAC, “This is not about Trump, and Trump stepping into this is not necessarily helpful, because he doesn’t carry any credibility in Iran.”
Yesterday, CNN quoted the propaganda of the Iranian state news agency Tasmin, even using their cover photo, while they equated pro-government supporters in the streets to the many thousands tearing down Khamenei posters and marching through the streets of cities throughout Iran.
“Crowds of pro-government supporters demonstrated Saturday in Iran after two days of rare anti-government protests which spread to a number of cities,” CNN reported.
“Nearly 2,000 people gathered peacefully in the capital, Tehran, in support of the government’s policies, an eyewitness there said. State-run Iranian broadcasters showed demonstrators waving the Iranian flag at the pro-government rally, which had been scheduled before the anti-government protests broke out. Meanwhile, coverage of the anti-government protests was very limited on state-run media, which referenced them only in passing,” it continued.
They made no mention of the thousands Iran has jailed and the three who have been murdered nor of the ominous threats by Iran officials to anyone who protests.
NY Times Tells Trump to Shut Up
The NY Times also made it about Trump, telling him in a headline to basically shut up – they actually said, “Be Quiet”. Their paragraph minimizing Obama’s support for the regime was particularly deceitful.
They wrote:
Even if Mr. Obama’s support might have somehow been helpful to the Iranian opposition, Mr. Trump’s almost certainly will not be. Whatever Iranians think of their own government, they are unlikely to want as a voice for their grievances an American president who has relentlessly opposed economic relief for their country and banned them from traveling to the United States.
Obama gave them billions in cash and promoted business in Iran. The money is being used for terrorism which is why the people are protesting. They’re suffering while the Mullahs build the bomb, develop their ICBM program and sponsor terrorism throughout the world. They have ignored the Hezbollah story.
The entire article minimized Iran’s guilt and projected fear at the possibility of the President cancelling the absolutely awful Iran nuke deal.
Well Trump is on the Protesters side so they only have 1 way to go ,LOL
The left sides with Satan. That’s all you need to know. Then it all makes sense.
Professional courtesy.
Brothers in Totalitarianism.
When an Iranian protester holds up a banner saying “THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!”, the heads of MSMers will explode like Chinese firecrackers.
Anyway, the MSM is proving itself despicable beyond belief.
They thought 1979 in Iran was ‘populist.’
The Left are at the limit of corruption. They can’t get MORE corrupt. If the are not made moot by failure then they are going to hang around until they cross the line.
They--the Left--support the Islamic hardliners in Iran instead of the Iranian people.
But, of course, we knew they would.
Nothing will change until they at least change the name of the country from “The Islamic Republic of Iran” to something better.
Media will always and I mean ALWAYS root for the opposite of what President Trump supports..CNN has always been a far left, Jew hating, ISIS supporting bunch of Commies, its who they are, its embedded in their DNA..go watch footage of 2006 when Israel was fighting Hamas and watch who CNN was rooting for and who CNN was trashing non stop
CNN: The Arab Spring is still on, isn’t it?
Professional courtesy.
Brothers in Totalitarianism, anti freedom for individuals and anti American as in hating President Trump 24/7!
ANYTHING that Trump supports or is good for the US, the left automatically oppose., even if they will suffer, too.
This Mullah regime is going to fall.
Im OK with them going back to Persia
Makes it pretty clear who the enemy of freedom is.
Proof that there is evil in this land.
“The left sides with Satan. That’s all you need to know. Then it all makes sense.”
Yup. I always wondered why people were always wondering why Obama was making all these bad deals and always did things that seemed to benefit our enemies! It really all makes Complete sense when you realize he is our enemy. The conniving enemy of America was miraculously elected president of our country in 2008. Satan waited a long time for that year....even he was shocked it actually happened.
“..Anyway, the MSM is proving itself despicable beyond belief...”
Yep, but we all know they are...and they will continue to be on the side of evil until they cease to exist. They’re killing themselves everyday.
