Did you know that, a full
month later, the "revolution" in Iran has a bit of a revolution of its own to deal with, still?
No, because instead of reading independent news sources
like this you are either not paying attention, or you are reading state-controlled media, with a liberty-hater as the controller.
Prime example: not one mention of (
old news) Iran on the front page at CNN.com. I wonder why they are losing ratings? Well, let's see . . . what are the WORLD NEWS reporters talking about tonight?

iReport.com: Bottoms up for mass mooning (puff piece)
CNN Wire: Reports: Death-penalty trial of... (you get the idea)
I used to scoff at The National Enquirer for having front pages like this. Now more than ever, though, the saying rings true: "It's not news, it's CNN.com!"
