What’s taking place in Iran?

For an answer, don’t turn to CNN or Fox News and don’t listen to White House officials.

Millions have taken to the streets to protest the June 12 rigged election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The University of Tehran has been ransacked.

Several protestors have been killed and thousands have been injured.

It is the greatest popular uprising that the 21st Century has witnessed.

And yet, to find fair and balanced coverage of the momentous event, one had to turn to foreign news outlets.

My understanding is video feels have been stopped so the only contact is twitter - since Fox cannot show anything, what are they suppose to show?

I don’t know what you’re talkng about, but I saw news of the uprising this morning on Fox News. Perhaps you need to report a little more reliably.

Welcome to the New World Order...the Elite tell us who we voted for and we’ll be excited and like it. Props to the Iranian people for speaking their mind.

I am paid to monitor Al Jazeera and other Middle-Eastern media stations..day in and day out. Whatever the excuses, the MainStreamMedia in North America has for decades been self-censoring and insulting to the US audience. We have no idea of what is really going on in the world.

Is Dr. Paul Williams “just another blogger”??
Hmmm...interesting. I suppose Bob Spencer and Steve Emerson are also?

I am still wondering why these protests matter. The other guy just sounds like “Mahmoud 2.” Either guy would still try to destroy Israel, build nukes, support terrorists... etc.

NC Sez: The Iranian authorities are using the same techniques of telecommunications black-outs as favoured by “NY Mayor Bloomberg and Barack Obama! Moreover, the Obama Administration and the LameStream US Media have tried their best to cover the blood-stained asses of the Iranian Mullahs. [Jimmy] “Carter’s Folly” continues into the 21st century, flowing from crisis to crisis in a never ending river of blood. Some commentaors have suggested that the current Administration finds the Iranian response to dissent “deeply moving” and “inspirational”. Where was Jimmah Carter’s Ballot Box Inspectors? Huh, Jimmah? You seem awfully quiet these days, Boy! When it concerns Iran you seem to be very quiet! You phony! “
