It has been explained to you...

Press TV, and its affiliates, are required by the Iranian constitution to represent the opinions of the government. That is no small matter.

It might be one thing to cite a questionable source. But you are citing a source that is part and parcel to a government. You are helping contribute to increasing the reach and influence of a government, not an independent news source.

And this is a government that makes being gay an imprisonable offense.

...and you continue to do it.
