PBS's Man in Tehran Saw 'Bleak, Grim, and Scary Day for the People of Iran'

The surprise attack on Iran’s leadership by the United States and Israel on February 28 was greeted on PBS by skepticism of President Trump’s long-term plans, while avoiding the vital historical context of Iran’s authoritarian Islamist regime.

Worse was the pro-regime coverage of the joint mission from special correspondent Reza Sayah in Tehran during the last minutes of PBS’s special “War with Iran” coverage on Saturday featuring the weekday News Hour team, with Sayah portraying a dark day for the Iranian people (never mind those mass celebrations) while portraying the awful regime as a persecuted pipsqueak in the region.
