Iran's nuclear power plant and public statements by Iranian leaders

Iran creates electricity in its nuclear power plant. Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon and says it doesn't want one, so claiming “Iran threatened to use a nuclear weapon” doesn't even make sense.

Iran’s leaders have publicly stated they don't want nuclear weapons and have explicitly said they have no intention of starting a war. For example, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated, “We have no problem with the world. We are not a threat whatsoever to the world, and the world knows it. We will never start a war. We have no intention of going to war with any state.” and President Ahmadinejad has said, “The Iranian nation is highly civilized and has a very rich culture and is not after oppressing any other nation, or launching an aggressive attack against anyone.” and “We have said numerous times and say it over and again: we have no atomic bomb, we want no atomic bomb and we need no atomic bomb.” BUT U.S. mass media has extremely UNDERREPORTED what they said to the point where hardly any American knows it.

Rare Exception to Media Blackout of NYPD's suppression of reporting on OWS eviction

#mediablackout #OWS Chris Glorioso's reporting was a rare exception to media blackout of NYPD's suppression of reporting on OWS eviction. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting's Peter Hart found a rare exception to the pattern of the media not reporting that the NYPD was suppressing the media's attempts to cover the Occupy Wall Street eviction. This example of good coverage of what the NYPD was doing to members of the press was in a local TV news segment by the New York NBC affiliate. Below is the report.

Here is a link to the post by Peter Hart on the FAIR blog which alerted me to the above story: Crackdown on Journalists at Occupy Wall Street

Here is a link to the article "VIDEO: Media Pushed Back from Occupy Wall Street Raid which was posted along with the video at MBC New York's website.
"Several members of the media reported being blocked from covering the Occupy Wall Street raid overnight, with police pushing them back from the action and preventing reporting and photographing ... journalists were detained by police, including AP writer Karen Matthews, AP photographer Seth Wenig and Daily News reporter Matthew Lysiak, the AP said. ... journalists who identified themselves as working for the New York Post and New York Daily News were pushed back by police in riot gear, along with NBC New York's Chris Glorioso." "Using the hashtag #mediablackout, journalists tweeted throughout the raid about their dustups with police." (from article by By Jonathan Dienst and Shimon Prokupecz | Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011)
