Western Media Discovers 'Protests' Only When They're Conveniently Anti-Iran
While any government’s claims of 'total control' amidst widespread unrest should raise eyebrows, the selective outrage from some Western corners is even more telling. The same media that downplays Palestinian protests against occupation, often labeling them as 'riots' or 'clashes,' suddenly finds its voice for Iranian 'activists.' One might wonder if the concern for human rights in Iran is perhaps
less about genuine grievance and more about geopolitical leverage. After all, a destabilized Iran perfectly aligns with the policy objectives of nations whose leaders, like Benjamin Netanyahu, have frequently advocated for government overthrow in Tehran since the early 2000s, often echoing calls for 'reform' that somehow always benefit outside interests. This selective reporting mirrors prior
regime-change playbooks: amplify discontent, ignore foreign interference, and then feign surprise when the region destabilizes further. It's almost as if some protests are more 'newsworthy'—or politically useful—than others. Funny how that works, isn't it?
