"I hardly ever rely on television for news, but I'd foolishly assumed the cable networks would be all over the developments in Iran. Indeed, it never occurred to me to think otherwise. And why not? It's a story with huge implications for the United States and the world. It has controversy, violence, fascinating personalities, alleged corruption -- all elements that news networks tend to love. The question, I thought, wasn't whether CNN and others would be covering the developments in Iran extensively; the question was whether they'd even break for commercials. So much for that idea." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Favorite comment at this article: "Did an attractive blond girl go missing after the Iranian election? No. I rest my case. By the standards of cable news there is nothing "newsy worthy" about the theft of the Iranian election." - Steven Perez
