Iran and the Media

Read the latest Media Lens alert to get an idea of recent media output on Iran. (And also some truths the media would rather not cover.)

Britain has recently sold nuclear-capable bombers to India, while the United States has sold nuclear-capable bombers to Pakistan. Iran’s is indeed a “tough neighbourhood”….

…despite everything that has happened, Western journalists are once again falling obediently into line as the British and American governments begin the long, arduous process of demonising another oil-rich target.
