CAMERA Op-Ed: Forty Years of Misreading Iran
For more than forty years, press and policymakers have been misreading the Islamic Republic of Iran. In four decades, The Washington Post, for example, has gone from comparing regime founder Ayatollah Khomeini to Gandhi, to presenting a regime apparatchik and 9/11 truther as a "moderate."
New York Times Christmas Story Casts Hezbollah, Iran as Benign Forces in Lebanon

PBS and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Propaganda
Is PBS doing its due diligence or offering itself as a mouthpiece for an Iranian propaganda campaign?
