Inside Iran

I don't know how many of you were able to watch tonight's Nightline but Ted Koppel (the guy who wouldn't have the show if it wasn't for Iran and those foolish hostage-takers) hosted a half-hour program titled Inside Iran and it was one of the most realistic, non-sensational, balanced reports I have seen on Iran in a while. I couldn't help but to think of how effective Jane Kokan could have been, had she also approached her subject as Nightline producers did.

I have had no success in finding a transcript of the show, but if you do, please leave it in comments. Here are some of the ponts made I can recall:

- Improvements in Iran have largely stayed limited to non-political issues.
- Student movement and its leaders have lost faith in "reformers".

- The sit-in by MP's has very little public support.

- There isn't a clear alternative yet.

Now only if I could find more details...

interesting, as koppel's reports have been historically been startlingly unbalanced and sensational. that's like the bedrock upon which his journalism foundation rests. i stopped watching that moron years ago. maybe i should give him another chance.

Just a short note to thank you very much to add my blog to your list. If you don’t get me wrong it causes a little sense of pride to be linked by such an esteemed and influential weblog.
If I noticed it earlier I would have put your link in my small blog much sooner than now!

My age does not go back very far. but for those years I have seen ABC and Ted Koppel, I think he tries to have a balanced report of any given agenda, including Iran. I personally enjoy ABC team above NBC and other American channels.
I am not sure if those informative reports of John Stossel still exist. But I used enjoy them alot!

john stossel was the man. i always enjoyed his little exposes, as well.

Koppel is a CEO masking as a news reporter.

He's head cheese of a semi secret organization
called Council of Nosy Rich Violent and Bossy People

Stossel is a hack reporter for multinationals.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.

I found this wonderful site that helped me when I was traveling. It allowed me to book all of my car rentals, for each of my different locations. When I wanted to book Alamo Car Rentals it was simple. I was also looking for Enterprise Car Rentals and was able to get the car I wanted. A buddy rented a car from Hertz Car Rentals, and he saved a bunch of cash. You could try using it for Thrifty Car Rentals, and compare rental car rates. It would be very easy to get yourself a Luxury Car Rentals online. Treat yourself to a Sports Car Rentals and show up in style. Or if your lugging others around, you could always get a SUV Rentals. It really is up to you. I found this wonderful site that helped me when I was traveling. It allowed me to book all of my rental cars, for each of my different locations.
