The revolution will not be televised

View Comments

It will be tweeted.  Every major US media outlet failed to cover Iran on the brink of revolution yesterday.  I think this picture really encapsulates it.

A lone protester confronts police forces.

  1. Every major US media outlet failed to cover Iran on the brink of revolution yesterday.

    Is this really true? I have seen coverage on more than one network.

  2. I guess I should've said adequately covered. I know that CNN and a few other 24 hour networks mentioned it in passing. Carrie Prejean and the Palin/Letterman thing got much more airtime.

    To me, airing a pre-recorded spot over and over doesn't really cut it.

  3. Have you seen Andrew Sullivan's coverage from yesterday, especially? He was a really strong voice, when the MSM didn't seem to be doing much. He has posted some fascinating things the last few days.

  4. Yeah, Jonathan. I've been following his coverage and a few grade A bloggers.
