This Is CNN

Oh, they did cover the Iran rallies.

TheIran rallies, I mean.

The New York Times chooses to pretend this is just about "economic woes," rather than a direct challenge to the clerical tyranny itself...

Scattered Protests Erupt in Iran Over Economic Woes. https://t.co/waB6Qrn2NC — Thomas Erdbrink (@ThomasErdbrink) December 30, 2017





A bit on this guy's reportage:

Last month Erdbrink, NYT's Tehran bureau chief, wrote a long, front-page story claiming that Trump had united the Iranian people behind the regime. Shouldn't he explain to NYT readers how he got it so wrong before filing more stories? https://t.co/J7BoZDWf9H — Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak) December 30, 2017





But you should trust him. He is an #Expert, and he's right in the thick of the action. If by "action" you mean "shopping opportunities on the Ginza strip in Japan."

NYT story by @ThomasErdbrink on Iran protests inaccurately reported size & cause. Said protests "scattered" & about "economic woes." Actually extensive & about regime.



Not disclosed: Erdbrink doesn't seem to have been reporting from Iran. He's in Japan



No dateline. No note

This "scattered protests" and "economic woes" theory overlooks chants of "Death to Khamenei" and "Death to Rouhani." And propaganda posters of Khamenei being taken down:

CNN and the New York Times (and the AP, and all the rest) are eager conspirators in Obama's Echo Chamber, and they will not let our "Partner in Peace," the rabid terrorist Ayatollahs of Iran, go down without giving their level best to prop them up.

How odd that the "mass rallies" Iranian state media insists is pro-government keep getting fired at by the government. pic.twitter.com/Tls3NjZmsp — Vincent Casimir (@vncnt_csmr) December 30, 2017





CNN is now covering the story.

And the story is: It's Trump's fault.
