Orwellwasright:

“Another point in defense of Press TV would be that the Western media has been in overdrive when it comes to demonising Iran – and has based this demonisation largely on a long string of distortions and outright falsehoods. It stands to reason that the Iranians would try to counter this – or is it only the West who are allowed to engage in propaganda these days?…The predictable comments from the pro-Israeli crowd are amusing as usual – people who applaud war criminals and murderers spouting off about what depths the Guardian has sunk to for allowing a journalist to write a piece about a rival TV channel. There’s something inherently twisted about their moral compass, if they ever had one….

ShamelessHussey:

“I note the constant western political spin employed against Iran – it’s a ‘regime’ (whereas Israel is a ‘government’) and the continual running-down of majority Iranian views in favour of an elite minority vis-a-vis the elections. The colonial occupation of Iran’s neighbours is a ‘mission’ (like it’s some sort of a Christian Crusade) by ‘our boys’ some of them are ‘fallen heroes’. Genuine insurgents and people who are fighting occupations and even elected goverments and organisations (Hamas, Hizbollah, Iraqi and Afghan opposition) are referred to as ‘terrorists’ whereas the genocidal foreign maniacs in Occupied Palestine, Iraq and Afganistan are referred to as ‘Israelis’, ’soldiers’, ‘armies’, ‘allies’.

The propaganda and spin of the BBC, never mind Fox News of the Daily Mail, has no comparison with what Press TV could produce.

In short, Press TV is an antidote that provides real news and differing points of view compared to the pro-Israel, pro-occupation, violent white Christian propaganda of so-called mainstream ‘western’ media. That is why these sneering western hypocrites will continually be having a go at Press TV – they are threatened that an Iranian outfit running on a small budget is doing real journalism instead of the tat that passes for news in Europe and the US nowadays.”

There is something inherently twisted (to borrow from the great author above) about a “news” station backing a government which shoots people on its own streets and tortures its own youth after it is discovered that such government won with 105% of the vote. Its mouthpiece has the gull to come out here and claim to be representing journalism along with a defense of state repression and holocaust denial in the year 2009. As if these people didn’t realize information transit has changed since the Ukrainian famine.

So I guess lets hear it for the pro holocaust denial crowd, among whom some seem desperate at getting a job interview with PressTV given that times are hard I suppose. There will always be candidates to whore themselves to any ideology from any place as long as it appeases their own pent up anger at either not gettin’ any or feeling lost in the world yearning for utopia be it a bloody and bone wrecking one at times. Perhaps they like it rough, who knows……

Axis Sally- Tokyo Rose- _________fill in the blank PressTV is hiring… yuppie…..

At least ShamelessHussey has a self descriptive name apt for its posts….
2 candidates for 1 position. The race is on. Brush up on that Holocaust research AhmedNutbobJihad called for, it may be on the admittance test.

Well, about the “fundamental” part, we can all probably agree.

About the “decent” part – no. Sorry. Not decent.

That’ll be news to Tehran.

Salih: “It (Iran) is also a government which doesn’t go around invading sovereign nations, killing their people and occupying their countries.”

But it does call for the destruction of Israel, while acquiring the means to do it.

Salih: “he (Ahmadinejad) spends most of his time with the poor and powerless rather-than hob-nobbing with the rich and powerful.”

Mr Chavez will be dismayed to see himself as described as poor and powerless.

Salih: “I fully understand why the authorities have banned street demonstrations which have given fuel to a viscous anti-Iran Campaign.”

It’s the thickness of the viscosity that does it.

If you genuinely care about all concerned – be they Palestinian or Israeli – how can you not condemn the abuse of children and not see that this on-going indoctrination is utterly destructive to any peaceful resolution?

I can only conclude that those who cry loudest about Israel/IDF/Gaza are crying from a point of hatred and in support of a ’cause’, rather than any genuine concern for the people they claim to care about.
