Iran vis-a-vis the US reaction to vote fraud...
Advertisements [?]
I'm wondering how the US media would have covered mass protests in the streets in America if people would have turned out in 2000 like they are in Iran today.......Would it be similar to the attention they paid to the anti-war protests in October 2002 and February 2003?

Would the US media cover violent crackdowns on protesters from cops with graphic video? Or would they show the outliers throwing a brick through a store window and portray that as the mainstream protest?

Are they portraying the movement in Iran in terms of liberal vs. Conservative? Clearly they are moving toward a more Liberal society and away from Conservative values, does the US media focus on this aspect?
