More fighting in Iran!

SMCCDI has released a version much different than the story Al Jazeera and AFP are running with.

(Think about it: if Al Jazeera broadcasted news about Iranian citizens fighting against the evil regime of Mullahs in the struggle between freedom and tyranny, would this really be in the best interest of the other dictators in the region? Of course not, it would inspire their own citizens to do the same. So for whatever reasons, these sorts of news outlets portray freedom fighters as being drunken thugs, rapists, and in this case, as members of some obscure religious sect.)

At the end of the day, differences in reporting are to be expected, what can you do? It just goes to show that when quality news reporting hangs in the balance, what matters is not the size of the media outlet, but rather the journalistic ethics an organization or individual adhere to.

You be the judge!
