Media Propaganda on Iran
Okay Mike, I had to share this with you, I would have laughed at how pitiful this propaganda is, but as a british ex-pat, maybe I will just cry.
You know the LA times article you listed with Ahmadinejad waving and the caption 'Hundreds of thousands in Iran protest vote result'?

It is clearly the same protest as in the background are the same tree and odd circular building. However, the BBC managed to outdo the LA times in quality reporting- their actual comment under the photo from the huge PRO-Ahmadinejad rally reads 'Supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi again defied a ban on protests'- a blatent lie and deliberately misleading description of what is actually occuring in Iran!
