The rise of alternative media, amid the collapse of much mainstream reporting, is shaping events on the ground.

The Los Angeles Times has actually had decent coverage. See, Ramin Mostaghim and Borzou Daragahi, "Iran election anger boils; Ahmadinejad defends results."

Thanks for the update and links Donald. Pretty complete coverage. I pray for those in Iran that they may be set free not only physically but spiritually.
Thank you, Prying1!
Biden thinks all is well and Obama is pleased about the robust debate.
No further comment required.
I'm sure too that Jimmy Carter is satisfied with the integrity of the election results. What other affirmation do we need?
If the US only had an embassy over there, then the comparisons to Carter would be downright scary.
(not that they aren't right now. Just saying)
intense picture;
thx for posting all these links
The former MSM is not about to report on the unrest in Iran, as they have to maintain the illusion for the dumbMasses that Barry-O really is the lightworker, else their White House press credentials might be collected by Robert Goebbels Gibbs.
I have been watching the YouTube videos that Iranians have been posting since the election for much of the evening. Raw footage often says much more than the media edited and messaged footage would, even if there actually was any.
There are a large number of seriously angry people in that country.
The media silence I can understand. What I find curious is the sound of crickets chirping coming from the Obama White House.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Donald.
What other pathetic result could have occurred when Ahmadinejad is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s man. The Ayatollah is a hard-liner in favor of nuclear proliferation and so why are we expecting the Obama-Biden fantasy of change to come true in Iran?
All of this “hope” just distracts us from an immediate and severe response with consequences for Iran, and impedes our preparation for the reality that is not going to change: Iran is marching towards nuclear power and a strike on Israel, if not stopped.
