    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.

                I said Western state media, why the fuck are you talking about Blogspot or Substack or British Tabloid you dishonest fuck?

                But that’s not what we’re talking about here, we’re talking about state sponsored bullshit sites.

                Oy, shithead, you were the one trying to shift away from state media.

                fox/OANN are right out, so are the British tabloids. Junk sites are junk sites regardless of hemisphere.

                Oh look at that, non of the junk propaganda outlets that align with your ideology are included, those are all given a special parse. It’s only the ones that oppose you.

                  No, there are sites that oppose me that are perfectly fine because they don’t engage in bullshit.

                  National Review is kind of the gold standard when it comes to conservative reporting, I don’t AGREE with them, but they aren’t removable the way the bullshit sites are.

                  https://www.nationalreview.com/

                  (Bonus - not state owned media either, but I don’t think William F. Buckley Jr. would recognize the current government as either Conservative or Republican, he would be horrified at what’s become of his party.)

                    Lol. The only example of a site you disagree with that you will allow is one that’s just a very slightly different flavor of western chauvinist neo-liberal? Are you fucking serious?

                    Like, mate, this is just a straight up admition that you don’t accept anything that seriously opposes you. (And you’ve already admitted that you’ll happily slurp down sources that absolutely do engage in bullshit so long as they agree with you, including National Review.)

                    William F. Buckley Jr.

                    A right wing lunatic and a literal CIA agent… No wonder you like him and his propaganda outlet.
