    It has been touched upon for years, then fell off the news wagon because of other events.

    The attacks are unjustified, but this narrative of “the media had no problem with Iran” when again, in the past years, executions and state violence carried out by Iran have been reported, is false.

      I didn’t say no problem, I said tolerable. You really need to read the dictionary and understand words. You cannot just interpret things how you feel, rather than what the words mean.

      Did you not see how quick policy and media narratives switch. Recently they tried to rehabilitate the Syrian leader, who’s group was allied to American enemies, and all of a sudden, he wasn’t that bad, let’s drop sanctions.

      You have to realise that, what is good and bad, and what the media tells you is good and bad are two different things. You have to critically challenge the narratives you’re fed.

        Mate, I don’t rely on mainstream media to tell me what to think about Iran. I have in-laws there. My partner regularly talks to them.

        Iran was always shite and during the protests, the media said as much. When they executed protestors, It got reported upon. There was never a time in which Iran was like anywhere close tolerable. Did UK media not pounce on the Shahed drones to Russia? Come on, mate.
