    Well, I thought I’d feel nothing if perhaps a little shock, but seeing her flee for her life as she was self-righteously wagging the finger, something that she probably does often in defense of the Ayatollah, was kinda satisfying. Let’s not forget who these people are who uphold this tyrannical theocracy, TV propagandists included. I do not condone what Israel is doing, but just for one moment this felt good.

      Wow, you really should be disgusted with yourself right now. Go take a shower, Jesus Christ.

      You were satisfied seeing someone “flee for her life” because you interpreted her foreign language and hand gestures as “she was self-righteously wagging the finger”, and that was enough to make a journalist fleeing for her life because a fascist genocidal state bombed her TV station “felt good”.

      🤮🤮🤮

        Calling her journalist is a stretch. She is the token woman mouth piece of the Ayatollah regime. When the Zan zendegi azadi protests were going on, she called for the protestors to be shot.

        She is objectively an evil person who is now sitting in the bed she helped make.

        Israel is bad and this unprovoked attack is a move by Netanyahu and Trump to distract from their domestic problems. But in the giant pile of shit that this situation is, that bitch getting scared is one of the few nuggets of pure karma.

        I hope Khamenei dies too btw. Is that a problem too?

        There were subtitles for fuck sake 🙄 I didn’t have to interpret anything. Also, Iranian state TV. There is very little that is ambiguous about the video or what the lady in question represents. Also, I seriously doubt she’s a “journalist” as we like to imagine them, doing investigative work, field work, serving the people, and uncovering the truth. Probably just a mouthpiece for the theocracy on state tv.

    If it has to be shouted at you, its not news, its propaganda. But she was brave in a tight spot, for sure.

      “Zionist regime”

      The difference in reporting is staggering. Really shows how people are conditioned to believe certain things based on the media they consume.

      You’d never hear a Western news organization use the term “Zionist regime.”

        To be fair, Axios didn’t rag on Iran here. They didn’t do any kind of labeling, just stating what happened: Israel bombed a live Iranian news station.

        That’s what news is supposed to be. The opinion columns are where terms like ‘Zionist regime’ goes. Same with whatever you’d want to call Iran’s govt, but news is just the event as it comes, maybe with context.

        Bombing a live news station, and clarifying that there was no warning, speaks for itself. More context of Israel’s many other crimes would be better, but Axios has a very-brief writing style.

    With that amount of finger waggling, it feels like she’s lecturing me about the dangers of masturbation 😳

      Wow! Up is that way in America too!

      I wonder if her ability to waggle her finger helped to get hired or if that even was a condition for hiring her?

      Also gotta give credit to her how she doesn’t seem to panic at all and just goes “fuck this, I’m out of here” when the building gets struck.

      All the best to the people who didn’t want this, regardless of nationality and faith.

      This is not the full video. In the full video, she’s reporting on some random stuff when there are some explosions in the background (2-3), so she starts talking like this until the big one hits.

      PS: it’s downthread in @industrystandard

    Remember 60 years ago when half the population of Persians could show their ears without inciting the other half to violence?

      Yes I do. When an oligarchy was destroying Iran and starving its people.

      Amazing how the western discourse around freedom is reduced to some silly fun facts about women.

      Now do Orthodox Jewish women next. Let’s see.

      You mean when the US and UK installed Shah disappeared, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of people with the aid of US and Israeli intelligence and weapons?
