Tim Marshall (Sky News): "Ayatollah Khatemi is claiming that outside interference from Britain and America lies behind the protests. This may not be very convincing for the protestors but it will strike a chord with all those who remember British and American interference in Iran in the 1950's."

James Healy: "In the 1950's? You cosmic arsewipe. The Iranian people are doing their level best to show us they do not want war or enmity with the west. If the Russians and the Chinese would stop propping up the Muslim dictatorship we could have those people freed by 9am tomorrow morning. The Iranian government is slaughtering its own citizens in the streets. And Tim Marshall of Sky News claims Iranians who remember the 1950's are advocates of his own twee outmoded Hull Journalism School anti Brit anti Yank maunderings. Here is the news. Iranians who remember the period when America and Britain had influence in their country, by and large remember that period as the good old days. Only the Islamists and Tim Marshall and apparently Sky News traffic in the other pro Ayatollah pro murder pro dictatorship view.

Euronews journalist: "The Ayatollah has called for peace. But the protestors seem to want a fight."

James Healy: "Who the hell is financing Euronews? This can't be accidental advocacy for the psychopathic government of Iran. This is malign."

CNN reporter: "The protestors allege... The protestors claim... The protestors disagree..."

James Healy: "Allege? Claim? Disagree? Does CNN really think this faux objectivity, this faux balance, this faux equivalencing of the Iranian democracy movement with the government which is murdering them in plain sight, do you half wits really think this is an acceptable way to report the enslavement of a people? Shame on you. Again."
