So much for 24 hour News - Iran erupting and CNN barely noting; MSNBC not at all - bloggers...

If breaking news would favor the right, probably blogs and twitter are your best hope. What you won't see on PMSNBC or CNN:

On twitter: try #iranelection or #iranelections

Dittos that.

What’s frightening is the control of the media and its willing accomplices. Freedom-loving individuals have no voice; if these dictorial governments can prevent it, they will. There AND here.

I used to think Twitter was plain silliness. Not anymore.

Should have posted a warning the "war slut" Amanpour was reporting this video.

This is CNN world news, Wolf is still waiting for his talking points to put a positive spin on it for his King, Obama

They already are. There have been tons of arrests and people hauled off to who knows where.

Man. I have seen things get “interesting” before in Iran, but this Very Interesting. Some of the pics of demonstrations look stunning. I know that there are clashes with police, but are there clashes between Amadinnerjacket’s supporters and the opposition supporters?

30 reformist journalists detained, including Ahmad Zeid-Abadi, a very well known journalist.

The regime let people speak out before the election - as they tend to do - and now they are cracking down on all of them

Clashes with police are unusual.
The regime hasn’t sent basij out in force yet.

“are there clashes between Amadinnerjacket’s supporters and the opposition supporters?”

Who do u think IRGC and basij are? lol
I haven’t seen any reports of ordinary citizens fighting each other.
