Iran's protests are powerful and real. Why are mainstream media outlets so hesitant to report on them?
********
The echo chamber of media outlets that are now hesitant to report on the uprising in Iran cannot be ignored, especially after the coordinated lash-out on the heels of Josh Meyers devastating report in Politico over the Obama administration killing an investigation into Hezbollahs drug trafficking operation. The Obama administration reportedly took the action to appease Iran and facilitate a nuclear deal.
Despite a near blackout, these protests are not intended for domestic Iranian audiences only.
How will the Obama Presidential Library wing look celebrating a nuclear deal with an oppressive Iranian regime that could possibly be deposed by security forces and the military joining with protesters, thirsty for democracy and a return to an Iran before the 1979 revolution?
More to the point, how will it look if the Trump administration, of all things, facilitates and encourages such change in Iran?
