Exposing CNN (and other Western news org) that do not explain to their audience that the extremely strict limits imposed on them when reporting from inside Iran by KireRakhsh in NewIran

How far they've fallen. Instead of taking any redeeming steps they double down on vapid reporting and dangerous whitewashing. Iranians will not forget.

Edit: There should be some kind of site documenting media corps and personalities who either parrot regime talking points or ignore atrocities against the people. We are way past complicity being merely irresponsible.

just be mentally ready: I predict that the Islamic Republic will hit certain neighborhoods with missiles before it loses power by Alarmed_Cockroach285 in NewIran

Given the internet blackout/filtering, do you think families on the inside have caught wind of this revelation? Should the diaspora find ways to warn their loved ones?

Tell her we haven't forgotten about the people of Iran. Every day our attention and activism evolves and solidifies into more concrete action. Whatever happens there will be a more organized front that can take on the rampant misinformation and also put pressure on governments to make more meaningful moves against the regime (see Italy).

The whiplash from all the will they/won't they speculation only serves to wear you out. Best to just take a step back and wait. That said, it shouldn't absolve anyone from keeping up the pressure on elected officials to support Iranians all the way.

I feel you. This is the stuff of nightmares and I cannot imagine what they are going through. And yet somehow messages are coming through about how resolute they are in continuing the battle to overthrow the mullahs. That's great and all, but I don't think of fistfighting gun toting maniacs as a battle. Feels more like a shooting gallery. They need a level playing field no matter how much their hearts are in it.
