On the Fake news, some Real Iran

[Swede]

"We're trying to stay away from real journalism," says Jason Jones, the Canadian content on The Daily Show, fresh from his trip to Iran. "The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are doing a great job."


"Everything I saw had this really heavy, heavy feel with (ominous music) and (in foreboding-narrator tone) `The Islamic Republic of Iran' and shots of people praying. Yes, they pray, and then they get on their motorcycles and go to the market."

1. I saw TDS segment last night where Jason did the interview

with the three Iranians, two of whom are now under arrest. They mentioned the one under arrest last night and had his son on for a short interview. It was a very awkward seque from Jason trying to be amusing to finding out this poor old guy was now under arrest.

The son said best thing for us to do is have Obama keep the same distance he has kept, but Americans could contact the Iranian embassies around the world to register our dismay at the events over there. Not sure where one would best send such a letter -- I didn't think we had an embassy from Iran here.
