Why can’t they?
More like why won’t they?

Selling the protesters short is a mistake. For 38 years Iranian crowds have been gathered by regime minders to chant Death to America, Death to Israel. When their chant spontaneously changes to Down with Hezbollah and Death to the Dictator as it has now, something big is happening.

The lamestream media doesn't like to cover stuff that runs contrary to their playbook.
It is killing them that their political buds are not in charge.
They are not trusted by most of the American public.
They have jumped the shark.
They are way past their past due date.

The Obama administration used the press to mislead the American public in order to win the presidents signature foreign policy initiative. The bill for that program of systematic misinformation is still coming in, and the price is much higher than anyone could have imagined, including more than 500,000 dead in Syria and an American press incapable of understanding, never mind reporting, that this death toll was part of Obamas quid pro quo for the nuclear deal. And what was gained? America enriched and strengthened a soon-to-be nuclear regime that murders its neighbors abroad while torturing, oppressing, and impoverishing its own citizens. Whether the current wave of protests is successful or not, they show that the Iranian people are heartily sick of the regime that Obama and his servants spent eight years of his Presidency praising and propping up.

I'm getting sick and tired of 3rd-party and independent news sites complaining why the big guys like CNN aren't covering the things they want covered.
Just get out there and cover it yourselves. Yes, I'm talking to you too Breitbart. If you want to be in the big leagues, you've got to blaze your own trail. Instead of harping on the sidelines during a playground basketball game that you got more skills than the people playing.
No I'm serious. Stop bitching about what Scarborough said last night and create the news on your own. Half of Breitbart is commentating on what other news media have ran with. Why can't they just BE the news themselves?

The regime has already murdered at least 3 protestors yet the bad joke of a media in this country does not see the event as newsworthy.
At this point, anybody who says he has faith in the American media is doing nothing more than outing himself as a radical leftist.

I think I prefer no news over fake news.

During Obama’s “arab spring” revolution, the only uprising he did not support was in Iran.

Because it would lead to Barry giving these cretins 1.6B in cash and bullion. Hard to explain that one to the libtards.
