Do they also serve chayee-nabat at his methadone joint ? :)

You should drop by more often at your friend's office for a few " drinks ". :)
The good thing about that "drink" is not only you don't need chay nabat you can eat a whole watermelon without getting "sardi". Like Rolling Stones says "My favorite flavor cherry red"

guys, CNN iReport is what they call "citizen journalism", i.e. stories and pictures posted by people who register on their site. From what I have seen, the quality of the news are typically not credible.

Since last year there seem to be a continuing effort on CNN iReport to post fake news about Raha Etemadi. I suspect the soldiers of Imam Zaman in Iranian intelligence ministry are hard at work!

This is obviously fake news, especially as it quickly made it to Kayhan's front page.

qualit of journalism in America? !!!!

This rumour came out of Iran. Don't have any doubts about that.
Masoud was wrong about this case but in general he's actually correct. Today's American journalists are mostly partisan hacks who think their duty is not to report the events but to influence the public's view of those events in the way that either serves whatever side they personally support or hurts the ones they oppose. You'd have to live here to really notice the overt bias and pandering that passes for "journalism" in today's America.

I agree that journalism in the US has its problems but to compare it to East Germany in WWII is just taking it too far. In this particular situation the reports were on a social media type outlet so you cant believe everything on the social media as its not official news.

Me Wrong?!!! How? When? How can it be? But seriously -.... my mistake was believing the news reported by CNN website.........
BTW - in the old days journalists went around in search of the news. These days journalists are given what the news should be, and their jobs is to find everything they can to collaborate it. That is why you hear the same news from all outlets.
