Large protests against the autocratic Iranian regime have erupted in 80 out of the 94 cities in Iran. To go by the mainstream media in the US you'd think nothing much was happening. Or if they do report it they are anxious to claim that the protests have fizzled out.
What's the deal? Liberals are supposed to be happy and giddy when people rise up to demand freedom and democracy. But no dice here.
Liberals were happy when the Berlin Wall fell. They gave it great play in the news. But in this case we don't hear much.
Perhaps it is because this is an embarrassment for Obama. Obama gave great weight to the idea that if we gave Iran a deal on nukes the Mullahs would moderate.

So, just think of the media as Democrat operatives with bylines desperate to keep Obama’s Iran deal alive and prevent Trump from having a key international victory occur on his watch (and fearing he’ll take full credit for it), and their de facto working for the mullahs all makes sense.
