Iran’s presidential election results and how they were reported reflect the West’s deep animosity toward Iran and Islam. Long before the elections were held, a campaign of demonisation of Ahmedinejad was underway. There has been uniform condemnation of Iran and the election result without giving any space for alternative points of view. This is a standard practice in the West: dominate all news discourse in the first few days to firmly plant in the minds of most people only one narrative. Later, this may be modified but by then people may either have lost interest or lost sight of the lies that were initially told. One must give the Western media credit for fantastic brainwashing.
