Iranian Thoughts
Casey Tompkins recently wrote me to express his frustration with the almost-nonexistant coverage the protests in Iran got from the mainstream press this week. I'm with him on that. Fortunately, he did point me to this excellent StrategyPage article on Iran. So at least it didn't go completely unnoticed.
I guess if CNN and the New York Times don't cover it, it doesn't get covered does it? (I'm not being snotty, by the way. Those two sources really do seem to be responsible for most overseas reporting in the US.)
True, the majors dropped the ball on this, but they had some help -

The Beeb has been covering the Iran thing extensively. They have been pretty pro-demostrators as well. The best coverage has been seen on Newsnight.
I've seen a lot of coverage come across the AP regarding Iran. At least one local news broadcast covered the protests on the ninth, focusing on the local protests against the Iranian government.
