What is the difference between our State run media and Iran's?

Reuters' coverage of the "election" in Iran is absolutely pathetic. How stupid do they take the world for? By the reporting you would really think that it was a fair election in Iran and that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad actually had a chance of losing. Ha! Haha!! Are you kidding me?

Just look at this coverage. "...Ahmadinejad, a hardline conservative,..." Are you kidding me? I guess if your definition of hardline conservative and tyrannical dictator are one in the same (and in this country I will guarantee that's what the media thinks!) then yes, Ahmadinejad is a hardline conservative. It then says his "challenger," Mirhossein Mousavi, is a moderate. Well, if that's the case does that mean that killings ordered by the state will now be reduced to brutal beatings? 

It gets better though as Reuters reports, "A bitterly fought campaign has generated intense excitement inside Iran and strong interest around the world, with policymakers looking for signs of a change of approach by Tehran, whose ties with the West worsened under Ahmadinejad." Do you actually think there was any kind of real campaign? There may have been a show campaign, but I hardly think there was anything legitimate. And why should we expect Tehran to change its views? Ahmadinejad is a lunatic. Worse, he is a dangerous lunatic. The guy has denied the holocaust ever happened! He's says Israel has no right to exist and is actively working to obtain nukes to destroy them, all with the help of our own President Obama! Who would think Tehran would change?

And speaking of Obama get this! "Obama said his administration was excited about the debate taking place in Iran and he hoped it would help the two countries to engage 'in new ways.'" Oh. My. God. This is absolutely pathetic and dangerous. I can't believe this is just pandering to Iran and giving legitimacy to the "elections," I think Obama believes all this is real! I doubt Bush would have ever thought there was any real debate in Iran. No, Bush was grown up and serious and correct by naming Iran as part of an Axis of Evil.

Ahmadinejad is a threat mainly to Israel right now, but left unchecked he will be a danger to us and the rest of the world and Obama is letting him get away with it. There will be no "new ways" with Iran, not in reality. Ahmadinejad wants Nukes and Obama has said that there should be no one country that decides who can have nukes and who can't. He has said it's OK to share nuclear power technology with Iran because they won't use it for weapons. Yeah, right, I'm sure they would never try that. 

A lot of people didn't like Bush but at least he would have handled this like and adult and not like the selfish man-child Obama who will let Iran get away with whatever they want. It's scary.
