| I got a question. WHo the fuck is PRESS TV and why they on Google news all of a sudden? |
|
Don't you guys find this suspicious? Years of AP and NYT and LA Times, etc. even UPI and Foxnews. but suddenly all these news links to PRESS TV? What the fuck gives? So far, they seem like a corporatist BULLSHIT version of the news. Anyone?

| 3. I believe they've been on Google News for years |

It's because Iran is in the news more that you see them more.

| 7. I have seen them over the years (their broadcast is translated on Link TV on Satellite) |
|
The trick to living in the internet age is to know your source. I don't have a problem with that source being available for us to read; the bigger issue is to make sure we are savvy enough to know who they are and out of what prism they broadcast the news.
