At least two presenters working for the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB have announced they have quit their jobs, with a third saying she quit some time ago after having told lies on behalf of the state for 13 years. Gelare Jabbari apologised in an Instagram post, writing: “It was very hard for me to believe that our people have been killed. Forgive me that I got to know this late. And forgive me for the 13 years I told you lies.”

From the Guardian but interesting if true. I wonder if the American press will ever apologize?
(BTW - I searched with Google and was not able to find this story. I found it with Duck Duck Go.)

If being forced to lie is the reason they quit, and they’re openly stating it, I wonder when their heads will roll — literally?

Tired of lying???? Well, working for the US media won’t be an option for them. . . .

“Tired of lying???? Well, working for the US media won’t be an option for them. . . .”

don't hold your breath, the difference here is the Iranian is upset telling lies, Corrupt American broadcasters make up the lies and then enthusiastically promote them.

Wow! Iran has actual journalists where as our MSM has mouthpieces for the DNC.

Who would've thunk it?

Meanwhile, Mullah Pelosi is going on with The Lying Clinton Midget, Georgie Steponallofus, and trash-talking the oppressed Iranian common people.

I was wondering too. I hope Jim the Accoster is paying attention. This is what courage looks like. Not throwing childish temper tantrums in front of the White House press corps.

God bless all the courageous people of Iran who are fighting the muslim oppression.

Prayers for their protection and that God would remove from power those who abuse it.

Was the shooting down of a plane leaving Tehran the capital of Iran filled with people leaving it ordered ? It would appear many Iranians feel that it was, and no accident.
According to the Koran Moslem clergy can and do authorize followers execute anyone who refuses to become moslem which includes ones fleeing areas they control .

Wouldn’t that be great if the president offered a few of our “journalists” in trade in a tweet?

We will know that America has been pulled back from the brink of decadence and destruction when "reporters" of the propaganda machine (aka the news media) get tired of lying--

--and commit themselves to truth--truth for its own sake.

[MAGAthon]

when will the lying FakeNewsMSM at NYT, WaPo, CNN/MSNBC/Networks etc etc etc do likewise?

Wish Pelosie were as honorable. Alas, she is not.
