13. "Iranian state media"

I'm not seeing it on WaPo, NYT, or WSJ. Do you have a link to Bloomberg?

I personally think even saying "Iranian state media" on DU should trigger the kookiness rule. We're getting to the midterms, and there's nothing Republicans would like better than to see references to that.

Honestly, it should be enough to reiterate the simple fact that the Iranian Islamic Republic regime is nothing but bigots and theocrats. Google it if you have any doubt.
