#3 We can count they're taking notes at the White House. They'll be speaking, in a Chicago Way(c), to FOX when the time comes.

#4 Now if we could only get them to warn ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and the other left wing shills over here...

#5 in fairness to the leftwing shills, New York Times, BBC, and even, god save us, the Guardian have been doing yeomans work in getting news out of Iran. To give credit to right wing shills, Wall Street Journal I am told is doing a great job as well. In the blogosphere the good work has been across ideological lines, including lefty Huffington Post, neocon Michael Totten, and hysterical Andrew Sullivan.

#6 yes lh, some sites and media are following it

Not so much however for NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN. I remember a CNN guy saying that they whitewashed the coverage of Saddam's depredations in order to keep access (hey what's a few tens of thousands of torture victims anyway when you could get one or two newsbreaker interviews with a deputy to the dictator).

#7 Afaict the problem with cable news isnt ideological, its that theyd rather cover celebrity "news". CNN has been doing better, but only after they were shamed into it.

#8 Credit where due, indeed, liberal hawk. (I;m glad you're back!) The Wall Street Journal has a female reporter, with what sounds to be an Iranian name, on the ground in Tehran. She did a telephone interview with NPR today in the early afternoon.
