[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You didn’t miss it. [b]It’s startling how little attention this is getting. Perhaps it doesn’t fit the leftist worldview [/b]that islamist extremism is a heroic movement of anti colonialism and simply a natural act of the oppressed. /s

I remain hopeful for the people of Iran but the apathy of so many [b]supposedly freedom loving Americans, particularly left leaning[/b], is jolting. [/quote]
Sweetie what are you blabbering about exactly. It’s being reported in the New York Times, BbC, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera, WSJ, NPR, and other outlets. Maybe you should broaden your horizons when following the news. [/quote]

Nope. Barely any coverage. Looking at WaPo and NYT now and doesn’t even make the scroll of headlines / major articles. Lots of coverage of the Swiss tragedy and Mamdani, though. CNN, WSJ are same. So no, it’s not getting the coverage warranted.

And to the poster who mentions “Zios”, we’re talking about Iran, not Israel. Different country and one that has been severely oppressed by an Islamist theocracy that has ravaged civil rights, brutally oppressed women, gays, and anyone seen as counter to the dictatorship for decades. Please don’t let your Israel Derangement Syndrome interfere with your understanding of what’s taking place in Iran, how significant it is, and how it’s so telling that the same people who are all about “freedom from colonizers” in the Middle East are strangely quiet.[/quote]

I looked at Al Jazeera yesterday, and nothing.   Was not until this morning that a single story appeared. [/quote]

FYI Al Jazeera is Qatari state media, aka Trump state media. Trump took a $400M bribe from Qatar. [/quote]
