...Or FOX News, or CBS, or CNN, or ......
Seriously, after Armstrong Williams' tax-payer funded diatribes; tax-evader, Gay-crusader, Jeff (The Cannon) "Gannon" and his shill-a-thon for Bush, Brit Hume's twisting of FDR's words re: social security privitization, what makes our media any better than Iran's state sponsored one?

Don't forget Dan Rather and CBS, or the NY Times made up stories. Don't just point out Conservative media abuses. Point them out on both sides.
Hell, the CBS misdeed is worse then everything else combined given their stature in the News industry and how blatantly dishonest that was and continues to be.

At least Gannon had the decentcy to resign after this media flack reflected badly on his employer.
Looks like the lefties just brought in lawyers.

RED STRAW HERRING MAN HE MEANT WELL AD HOMINEM IT'S GOING TO END TOMORROW IT'S FALLING, THE SKY!
I'm looking forward to hearing how those examples aren't as bad as the current examples given, and somehow, I just KNOW they are worse....I can feel it....or is that the love?
Hey, those of you from other countries...do they report on these problems in your countries ad nauseum as well, or are we the only country willing to air our dirty laundry 24/7 (or, more likely, are we just more interesting to watch? The Jerry Springer Show of world politics?) Spare us the "it doesn't happen in our country", you can fool yourself all you want, we know that ain't true ;D
fredster:
Here's the best summary I've seen, from Fox.
Iran (search) may control the media in that country but that does not mean it can get its stories straight. When it first got word of an explosion in the southern city of Deylam, Wednesday, Iranian state TV said, "A missile was fired from an unknown plane 20 kilometers from the city." A short time later, state TV said the blast was more likely caused by a fuel tank that fell out of, or off an airplane.
Soon after that officials on state TV said the explosion was, in fact, deliberate, part of "dam building operations." And then later they denied there was ever an explosion to begin with, insisting, "We have found no signs of an explosion." But soon enough, they said there was an explosion and it was to build a road. They've since gone back to the dam building explanation.
So Mr.C, there is still controversy. Notice the lack of a followup story on what happened today anywhere in the media?????
