The regime wants the world to see this crisis as the reformers vs hardliners. To do so "proves" they are a democracy, struggling between liberals and conservatives, something most people understand.

Most people do not understand that it is not a true democracy; the people cannot choose their candidates. Nor that most people do not support either the reformers of the harliners.

Exactly. But the people writing these articles and editorials should know better. I think most of them do. They just don't want to report that the Iranians want a true democratic government. They're misrepresenting to all their readers, what the real story is. More emails are necessary to correct and educate them, every time they write a piece that leaves out the "D" word.
