At least two Iranian journalists at a state-owned media outlet reportedly resigned from their jobs, with one of them apologizing to viewers for "the 13 years I told you lies."
As Tehran continues to grapple with the fallout from protests stemming from a cover-up of its accidental downing of a Ukrainian airliner, TV anchor Gelare Jabbari addressed her viewers on an Instagram post that appears to have been deleted.
It was very hard for me to believe that our people have been killed," the post read, according to The Guardian. "Forgive me that I got to know this late. And forgive me for the 13 years I told you lies.
Two other news anchors at the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) thanked their supporters in separate statements.
Thank you for accepting me as anchor until today," said Zahra Khatami. "I will never get back to TV. Forgive me.
Fellow anchor Saba Rad said she was leaving journalism after 21 years.
Thank you for your support in all years of my career," she said. "I announce that after 21 years working in radio and TV, I cannot continue my work in the media. I cannot.
The resignations come as Iranians again took to the streets in anti-government protests Monday. Many are calling for the ouster of government leaders after the shooting down of a Ukrainian passenger plane that Iran initially denied responsibility for. Tehran later walked back its denial and admitted to downing the plane in a misfire during attacks on bases in Iraq where American troops are housed. The attacks followed the killing of Iranian Quds Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. airstrike.

It just gets worse and worse for Democraps doesn’t it.
Keep praying for Iranians!
Many are coming to Christ in these last days!
May The Lord strengthen them and provide them Salvation, Mercy, & Peace!
Absolutely, prayers up.
Either the downing was an accident or the Iranian regime Trump would act like a typical American president and attack back after some useless missiles were fired? Did they want to down the jet and then as American fighter were (they thought) scrambled they would then blame the USA?No way a radar signature north of Tehran would be mistaken for incoming US aircraft. Of course it could be just crappy Russian tech manned with even crappier trained Iranians.
Dan Rather was lucky to get out of S. Vietnam alive. He was hated by fellow honest journalists as well as the Marines in I Corps.
Same for Don Webster of CBS, for abandoning his cameracrew when they came under mortar fire. He grabbed a jeep and left them standing in the middle of the road and under fire.
Reported happened in 1970 because it was told to me in Saigon by a fellow journalist either in later Oct. or early Nov. 1970, at the Majestic Hotel, Tu Do Street.
Morley Safer was viewed by all as a corrupt CBS putz. He was accused by people in the know of making money off the Saigon Black Market wherein he paid his staff in SVNese money (worth 275P -piasters - for $1 US, versus 475P per $1 US on the BM) by the Indian store owners on Tu Do Street, for one.
