#1 "In Iran, there is no escape from the control that the state exerts over the media."

Sounds like the BBC licensing scheme in the UK.

Pet Peeve: Someone needs to teach the "reporters" at the BBC how to write coherently. Each sentence is not deserving of a paragraph break and using "But..." to start sentences would invariably receive a liberal dose of red ink from any self-respecting English teacher of yore. Today, well, I don't doubt it would pass muster by all accounts I've read of the state of education in the West. Regardless, by any learned measure, this is pathetic and amateurish work.
