American News Coverage

The American news coverage of the Iranian "revolution" is ridiculous. Every single news agency has a bunch of pu***** working for them. This is not real journalism, real journalists who care about the stories and the people they are covering do anything they can to get out the story, to get first hand accounts. These men and women are holed up in their hotel rooms parylized by the Iranian government showing an embarrassing lack of courage in the shadow of such courage expressed by Iranians. The men and women of Iran are a testament to democracy, risking their lives getting their stories out even though they know they could be killed for their actions. Just as journalistic integrity in the United States is floundering, so is the courage and willingness to report hard stories. Maybe we can learn something from the Iranian people, courage to fight against the large hand of government. As they move away from overarching government we spiral towards more government, we have become sheep....the people in Iran have become their own shepards not risking letting someone else do their work for them.....civic activism at its best, God Bless the Iranian people - Green Revolution!
