For a journalist, it is really disturbing to follow the mainstream U.S. media nowadays. You shouldn't do it without questioning the motives.
The followers of this blog would know that I dislike the Iranian regime. However, reading these exclusive reports from the Washington Post and the Associated Press is still disturbing.
The Washington Post wants us to believe that the Obama administration has found the Iranian WMDs in Libya! If they keep searching, I'm sure that they can find Saddam Hussein's WMDs in Libya, too. Of course, if they'd like to white-wash Bush's occupation of Iraq...
Meanwhile, the Associated Press defends that there is a suspicious activity at an Iranian site that Western spy agencies suspected of secret work on nuclear weapons. Suspiciously, American officials is now suspecting that Tehran is trying to cover its tracks by removing any evidence of nuclear research and development, so international inspectors may not find anything there if they're allowed to visit the site soon!
It seems that these two media outlets have become the Pravda of the military-industrial complex of the corporate America...
Guys, you may be profiting from war-mongering, but I wouldn't do what you're doing now even if they give me billions of dollars.
Simply, you are a shame for journalism.
...Maybe I have become more of a peace activist, after finishing my obligatory military service recently...
