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.

Many protesters inside Iran are tweeting.  Here’s a pretty good list.

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

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