       | Perhaps Iranian media say that western media doesn't tell the
       | truth about America. Anywhere from the coverage of Ferguson,
       | Baltimore, Occupy Wall Street, to Hunter Biden laptop and the
       | alleged corruption emails. No idea on Iranian media but I have
       | seen media in other western attack-targets countries like RT etc.
       | have coverage like that.

       | Today on HN there was a post on the massacre of Africans in Paris
       | in 1961 that either had deliberately erroneous coverage or no
       | coverage in western media. (It was flagged).

       | It seems that conventional media all over the world are the
       | mouthpieces of power centers and elites. They are almost all some
       | form of state media and propaganda even if privately owned.

       | If you go back to the overthrow of the democratically elected
       | Mossadegh in Iran to take over their oil, all western media
       | synchronously lied about Iran coverage then even going as far as
       | accusing him of being a communist (which he openly was against),
       | and amusingly the communist youth movement was funded by the CIA.
