“Reclaiming the narrative” aka fake news.
Just like Hitler was tried for genocide
Netanyahu also needs to be tried for the crime of genocide he committed against the Palestinian people.
YOU ARE VERY AFRAID OF THE TRUTH BEING LEARNED AND YOU DO NOT SHOW MY MESSAGES, IS THIS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PURPOSE OF BROADCASTING?
سلام دوستان عزیز من ایرانی هستم من درایران زندگی میکنم هرکشوری قانون دارد باید به قانون هر کشوری احترام گذاشت وقتی من کشوری مهاجرت میکنیم بایدباقوانین آن کشور زندگی کنم،
So these filmakers want to promote propaganda instead of telling the truth of what is going on in the world.
As a general rule, yes…from someone who has a friend in the film-making industry.
This is good. So many instant haters, why? It’s the American way it seems – at least that’s the impression we are getting from the outside. I wonder how many commenting remember or even know about the ‘western-like’ advanced Iran under the Shah? Of course he was the ally of Western politics, slipped a few bucks in his pocket, the usual authoritarian ruler in the region. But the people of Iran – in a divided society mind you – were on a trajectory on par with the West by and large, and I guarantee that most of us commenting would have had no idea if we were standing among a handful of Iranians on the sidewalk in those days, barring speech. I met a young woman at the college about 18 years ago, when the image of Iran was already fixed as the way most here see it today. I was very surprised while we were studying together when she told me she is Iranian on a study visa – clothes, style, hair, fair-skin, vague accent. i was almost 50, I understood her history.
Don’t forget the LGBT people who stand with you
Fyi. To all these people coming here! This is America.!if you miss your country . Go home! If your American your american. Leave your crsp behind!
It’s surprising how little Americans know about what the US did to Iran that caused the uprising. How they basically abused the country’s resources for years to enrich themselves.
⚠️⛔️⚠️NBC can you please tell your audience why 1979 the king of Iran and his democratic government toppled?? Or Are you ashamed of telling your audience that England, America and France did it to us by removing our peaceful King and helping this extremes and criminal people to take over power in Iran!!! because of your governments stupid decision on the time now we are all paying the price including you westerns !!
Once you have a dictator you can’t get rid of the dictator.
Sorry, not interested in raghead tv
Western media is the right wing propaganda arm of the IDF for some odd reason.
Shame on Mr Carter, God save our king Reza pahlavi
Iran hasnt invaded a country in over 200 years. Meanwhile America and Israel…
241 hostages released and Israel will ceasefire. I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (JESUS). No one comes to the Father (GOD) except through Me. John 14:6 Jesus died for you. Believe and repent today!
This is pure propaganda
Columbia University is a clown college their Gender Based Misconduct office is run by people who violate people’s rights and discriminate against white males, christians, and asian students.
Being brains washed by legacy media is dangerous. Do a bit of research into who is telling you the “news”. If they have a dog in the fight then you know its false & following an agenda.
