    A glimpse of real news in the North American media? Astonishing!

    I have to say, this post was the first news I had read of the Iranian election outcome, so of course I rushed over to the "paper of record" to read their report.

    NYT's headline article considers whether it was it was cheating or fear on the part of the voting public that kept Ahmadinejad in power.

    It is obvious that it was cheating - has it gotten to the point where 21st century "journalistic integrity" means that we always have to hear "two sides" in every North American media news story: fiction and truth?

    PS: @American Fascist, you're full of **it.
