| Re: Iran an aw that
The political situation in Iran was already a mess beforehand. The main reason that the media coverage is slanted so far in favour of the oppositon (as was..?) is that it's what's coming out of Iran. News values are such that they'll go in favour of the pictures, and they are the ones who are getting the news out. Also, the news from them is 'news', incumbents winning is not news as it were. Then there's the whole 'twitter' angle - it ties in to stories that have already had play, and allows them to copy and paste stuff into their newspapers and try to keep pace with the movement of text journalism into real-time.
So aye, you are right.
