>>What’s the difference between an American voter and an Iranian one?
The Iranian voter recognizes a rigged election.<<

The difference is that in Iran they will do something and probably get results.

We get phallus and eggs, and they ran out of eggs in the last election.

More on the media coverage. From Iran Clamps Down On Protests, Press

......"Mackell says the crackdown on protests has also extended to journalists, making it almost impossible for the media to cover the story. "I saw yesterday a Japanese camera crew who have full government permission and were working with an approved government translator, still were beaten and arrested by the police for filming at a protest. That kind of thing is happening to a lot of people. Journalists are having their cameras taken.

"There's been a decision not to extend any press visas. None of the foreign press are going to have their visas extended. And because the visas are only given out for a week to ten days to start with, that means very shortly all of the foreign press will be gone, except for those who have bureaus here.

"I wouldn't say the police have been showing restraint, they're been really going hard after the protestors, but after the foreign press goes, who knows what will happen."...............
