... showing and describing Iranian protests and riots over the terrible state of Iran's economy ... and not one single fucking acknowledgement from anyone that what has wrecked Iran's economy is literal decades of illegal US-led economic siege warfare. Lyse Doucet has always disgusted me; but *Jeeezus*, this is a level of outright servility that puts even her previous record in the shade.
Not a coincidence that the Iranian Rial was crashed methinks.The last working-class hero in England. Clio the cat, ? July 1997 - 1 May 2016 Kira the cat, ? ? 2010 - 3 August 2018 Jasper the Ruffian cat ??? - 4 November 2021 Georgina the cat ???-4 December 2025
Re: Unbelievably obedient BBC: item after item...Channel 4 "News"
I caught a bit of Channel 4 News last night with Matt Frei in Washington (the Whitehouse in the background), talking to some "Iranian Expert" and the two of them sounded in great spirits, smiling and nodding heads as they were so obviously enjoying this. This was after an opening report showing protests with a thoroughly gleeful voice describing what was happening. A big emphasis on the "violent" putting down of the protests and the Ayatollah's threats to get serious with the offenders. Any protesters been shot four times in the face yet, Matt? A really sickening tone to the whole segment."I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."
Any old dears with Palestine Action placards been busted there?...nm
