Extremely pushed by media... every internet geek feels like a reporter posting breaking news in his blog

I would have to completely disagree with you here in that fact that you make this sound negative? After Iran kicked out all international news reporters the rest of the world would be clueless as to what is going on.
If it wasn't for the internet and sites like youtube, twitter, facebook and the entire socially connected networks then there wouldn't be any free reporting and just pure bullshit and propoganda. I give high fives to all the people in Iran who have the know how and ability to spread out this information even with the goverment making it so difficult.

Don't forget the people actually spreading the information leaked from Iranian protesters. Without people actually caring, Iranians' voices would be silenced. Now, not only does the Iranian government have to worry about the dissenters within their nation, they have to worry about those of us outside of Iran.


whoa.
