The elite narrative on Iran brushes aside the fury of the Iranian people

In case you missed it, Tehran’s admission that it shot down that civilian Ukrainian plane triggered massive anti-regime protests, complete with fresh denunciations of the late Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Plus, Iran’s only female Olympic medalist just defected, denouncing the regime for its brutal oppression of women.

And you might well have missed either story — because much of the US media is downplaying this news, simply because it doesn’t fit their pre-existing narratives.

It’s not just Trump Derangement Syndrome, but part of the outlook of much of the Western elite, which tends to assume that the West’s past sins are the root of all the world’s evils — and that any anti-Western regime, however oppressive, still has a fundamental legitimacy, and popularity.

Our shallow silly 'elites' feel they're in high school rebelling against 'dah dee'.. White liberal 'elites' act like spoiled teen-aged boys. Pompous, old, mean-spirited and pretending they're 15 year olds. Chuck Todd with his wide eyed looking up to the sky to pull an idea down comes to mind... or Chris Wallace eighth grade smirking... Disgusting... Grow up guys.

The Iranian people are suffering like people in Communist East Germany. Probably worse. Iranians are totally westernized. They are kind and sweet. They consider themselves Persian and NOT muslims. The Mullahs are devil bats right out of hell.

True... but the Mullahs and their twisted fundamental Muslim teachings have had a negative effect on the Iranian underclass... those people are reverting back ...
