But the Bellylaugh's "Iran is no. 2" piece is also abhorrent and vile for its crystal clear unbalanced propagandistic, toadying journalism. If they want to write a story about executions, start with China, go on to iran, then US allies Iraq and Saudi, and include the US itself for that matter --- it was the only nation in the entire America's to carry out executions last year. Be balanced and objective. But no. [/QUOTE]
CNN aired a story about a woman that was to be stoned to death in Iran and was probably aired only because of the tensions between Iran and the US. If CNN cared about executions, they would focus on executions all over the world, including their ally in Saudi Arabia and of course the executions that occur in the US. Another example of news and propaganda been combined to shape American and world opinion rather than provide a fair and balanced viewpoint.
