      And you tag everything not sanctioned by the empires media tendrils as “garbage”.

      Aren’t you one of those people who let’s MBFC tell you what to think?

          Complains about bad sources, cites Wikipedia. Lol

          And be honest, you just mean “Western aligned source”. It’s not like you’re complaining about the BBC.

            Again, put up or shut up. Find a source that says the Iranian government is anything but a propaganda source. It’s cool, I can wait.

                And yet nobody has responded with any site saying Iranian state media is sooooo honest and reliable.

                Gee… wonder why that is? LOL.

                  You tried to claim the BBC isn’t state owned by just typing it in all caps and getting cranky, shut the fuck up.

                  And multiple people linked you Douglas MacGregor verifying this story, you just ignored them because you’re a dishonest little Zionist toad.

                  “Give me sources for your sources” lol no, that’s an extremely stupid thing to expect and a blatant double standard, if you put half that much effort into fact checking western media you’d know better already

              What does that even mean? The Iranian government is a government. By definition it’s more than just a “propaganda source”.

                News from the Iranian government is, de facto, propaganda. They aren’t going to tell the truth about themselves or their enemies.

                  Funny how you never feel that way about western state media. Or private western propaganda outlets. You only care when someone disagrees with your pre existing beliefs.

                    Oh, no, I regularly remove trash blog nonsense from Blogspot and Substack all the time. Fox/OANN are right out, so are the British tabloids.

                    Junk sites are junk sites regardless of hemisphere. But that’s not what we’re talking about here, we’re talking about state sponsored bullshit sites.

    • They cite Douglas MacGregor

      US Naval Institute:

      Col. Douglas Macgregor USA (Ret.) is a decorated combat veteran with a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia. He is the author of five books and is the executive vice president of Burke-Macgregor Group LLC, a defense and foreign policy consulting firm in Northern Virginia.

        I have closed my mind to Iranian, Russian, Chinese, Ukrainian and Israeli state propaganda sources, as everyone should.

        It’s a bogus news organization, if you can’t see that, then I’m not the one with vision problems.

            LOL I’m interested in nothing but impariality.

            State run media, by definition, is not impartial. Doubly so when talking about Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, etc. etc.

              So I’m used to you contradicting yourself from one post to the next, but now you’re doing it from one sentence to the next.

              And let’s be honest “impartiality” just means "agrees with your preexisting pro-western bias

                No contradiction:

                State run media is biased in favor of the state running it. That’s a basic fact.

                When talking about certain governments, it’s EVEN WORSE than normal government interference.

                You think you’re getting honest news out of Pyongyang? Someone’s Pyonging your Yang if you know what I mean…

                See also Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Tel Aviv, Ankara…

                  No contradiction:

                  “I’m interested in nothing but impartiality.” vs “Doubly so when talking about Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, etc. etc.”

                  That’s the opposite of impartiality, dog.

                  When talking about certain governments, it’s EVEN WORSE than normal government interference.

                  Prove it. Oh wait, they oppose your ideology, which is all you care about.

                  You think you’re getting honest news out of Pyongyang?

                  You think you’re getting honest news out of NYT, or BBC, or AP?

                  See also Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Tel Aviv, Ankara…

                  Funny how you never include London or Washington or Canberra or the like on this list, Oh right, it’s only “certain governments” you don’t consider impartial.

          You do not find it the slightest bit weird that they are all non-western sources? They’re good sources fighting against wrongful discreditation by the empire. Open your eyes and ears to what places like New Propaganda Radio (NPR) or New York Lies feed them!

            Non western sources are fine, sources from authoritarian governments are always sus.

            Example:

            Al Jazira, for the most part, is reliable*

            *As long as their reporting isn’t about Qatar or Qatari interests. They have a huge blind spot there due to their ownership.

            Kyiv Independent has some of the best reporting out of Ukraine.

            Kyiv Insider is Ukrainian state propaganda and should not be trusted.
