The biased radio-television in Iran

Radio and television stations in Iran are all under the rule of the supreme leader; that is, Khamenei for now. All the news sections in the only audio-visual media of the country are in favor of Rahbar (Supreme Leader) and his followers, the conservatives in general. They don’t cover the news of parliamentary members’ sit-in at Majles "persian link".

On the other hand, people don’t get a damn to the fucking biased media of conservatives (radio-television and newspapers like Kayhan"persian link"). They even are not much interested in sit-in news. They are all tired of both reformists and conservatives just promising to do work for people but doing nothing in practice. Perhaps reformists’ sit-in (if continued and result in some aspects stepping back of conservatives) ignites the motor of Irnians’ will and we’ll see a change in power structure.

But the final demand of Iranians is to remove the post of Supreme Leadership (Velayat Faghih) forever. Only then we may see Iran as a truly democratized country.
