Well, The Guardian is reporting that Iran is asiintssg Syria in its crackdown on rebels. What a wonderful, and revealing irony, that Israel is joining Iran in desiring to keep a dictatorship in place, and that their interests are best served by hardline governments who repress their people. After all, despite the reams of dissembling and camouflage, it turns out Israel hasn't any time for genuine democracy, either at home or surrounding it. The only democracy acceptable to it is a manipulated, selective and gerrymandered one at home, and none at all elsewhere. Funnily enough, Iran, like Israel, has elections but there is no genuine choice or enfranchisement of the population, whilst the ruling ideology is kept intact and out of bounds. Anti-democrats appear to have more in common than they have differences.
Now more than ever, the press is a part of every story it covers. And CNN's "Reliable Sources" is one of television's only regular programs to examine how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover.
Brian Stelter is the host of "Reliable Sources" and the senior media correspondent for CNN Worldwide. Before he joined CNN in November 2013, Stelter was a media reporter for The New York Times. He is the author of the New York Times best-seller "Top of the Morning."
