[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting explanation as to why our media is ignoring what is happening in Iran:

[twitter]https://x.com/detahmineh/status/2009680255091405074?s=46&t=X605tXq86EtH5m7JHoGWFQ[/twitter][/quote]

Nonsense.  "Liberal" western outlets have covered the Iran protests extensively, including the parts where demonstrators criticize the Islamic Republic, burn mosques, reject clerical rule, or chant against compulsory religion. Major publications — from the BBC and Reuters to the New York Times, Guardian, AP, DW, and CNN have repeatedly reported:

- attacks on regime‑aligned mosques
- slogans rejecting theocracy
- anger at clerics and the morality police
- the broader revolt against the Islamic Republic’s religious authority

None of that has been hidden or downplayed by the media.  The real reason coverage fluctuates is simple: news cycles, not ideology. When protests surge, coverage surges. When the regime cracks down and demonstrations become harder to document, coverage naturally drops — the same pattern seen in Hong Kong, Sudan, Belarus, and elsewhere.

There’s no evidence that Western journalism is suppressing the story because protesters criticize Islam. In fact, the opposite is true: Western outlets have been some of the only institutions consistently documenting how Iranians challenge the regime’s religious authority.

These constant smears of "liberal" and "western" media are not grounded in facts or reality and can only come from or play to people who themselves live in their own tiny echo chamber of restricted media consumption.[/quote]
