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." There's a good chance those two brave journalist will lose their lives - or the lives of someone they love. Midnight knocks happen in Iran... often the people taken are never seen again. Prayers for these two brave men... may God watch over them..

Partner, it is amazing that this type of Nazi type behavior still exists in this day.

The Gastapo type of atmosphere will end when they completely get rid of the Mullahs ruling in Iran and all the people in Iran can vote a Constitutional government.

The Iranian folks are Persian folks since there great...grandparents were told with a very sharp sword to their necks to accept the Mooselimb religion or else.

The YW do not want to wear that silly Hajib and I am being told that the religious police stay away since they will be beaten up by these YW.

The Mullahs will continue to rule over these folks since nobody wants to get the ruling Mullahs out of power but they are making rumblings right now. We need to support the folks that are protesting the The Mullahs. The time has come to just leave the power in Iran to other folks who want to progress instead of the Mullahs. Somebody in Iran just needs to say that we are in the year 2020 and not 1220.

Trump should point this out to CNN.

If only that can happen here.

So Iranian journalists who knowingly lie have more integrity than American journalists.

If Iran needs replacements for these anchors, there are plenty of US media types who have no problems whatsoever with lying to the public.

Well, Peter Jennings fought alongside Mohammed in the 6th century. I'm sure he'd be willing

Peter also says that Mo invented watches...

Just...wow. That takes some real stones, knowing they’re probably going to lose their lives.

But they don’t speak Farsi. Maybe they could like abut it and say “Oooga booga ooop eep,” and see how their viewers like it.

“The Iranian folks are Persian folks since there great...grandparents were told with a very sharp sword to their necks to accept the Mooselimb religion or else.”

Lose the rose-colored glasses. They took up Fatimid (Shiite) Islam when it had been eradicated from Egypt by Salladin, and they stuck with it when the Mongols invaded. The latter ultimately converted in significant numbers and intermarried with the locals. Their eradication of the Assassin cult made them very popular. That’s why so many Iranians have oriental eyes. So much for the “Aryan” claim.

Eric Hoffer says in True Believer there is no more zealous and aggressive proselytizer than one whose conversion was coerced. It’s a way of overcompensating for the guilt of changing one’s faith under duress.

Yes, CNN and MSNBC wouldn’t have any anchors left to do their Fake News.

If only Howard Beale was real:

But, man, you’re never going to get any truth from us. We’ll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We’ll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker’s house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don’t worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he’s going to win.

We’ll tell you any s__t you want to hear. We deal in *illusions*, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We’re all you know. You’re beginning to believe the illusions we’re spinning here. You’re beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even *think* like the tube!

This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God’s name, you people are the real thing! *WE* are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I’m speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF...”

Meanwhile the US House of Representatives under Rat leadership refused to support a resolution supporting the Iranian demonstrators.

That movie is even more relevant today than it was then. Chayefsky was a prophet.

Apparently so - what with the 24/7 propaganda machine on the boob tube these days





The world and the things of the world will pass into nothingness. That's what TV sells. This world and the things of this world. Yahoo had some idiotic article where you could shop Target for the things picked out by one of the Kardashian / Jenner attention-whores, excuse me, I meant "celebrity" or something like that.

1 John 2:15-17 King James Version (KJV)

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Wonderful passage of Scripture! I was just discussing this with a friend today.

Peter Finch won the Oscar for that but sadly passed away before the ceremony. It would have been cool if he’s repeated that at the Oscars.

See CNN,MSNBC,WaPo,and the NYT ..that’s all your entire staff has to do in order to restore honesty in journalism.
Or, otherwise, just swallow some hot lead.
