The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The brutality of Iran's autocratic leaders in stifling dissent knows no bounds, as Iranians are being slaughtered in their quest for freedom from the Middle East's most ruthless regime. These protesters deserve the world's support, as human rights are being weaponized in the country.

Establishment-critical narrative

Though the West prefers to hype Iran's executions, it deliberately ignores the fact that Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei recently pardoned 90k people to mark the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. Western-backed rioters tried to set Iran on fire, but, thankfully, they failed, as Iran has implemented strict but fair enforcement of the rule of law.
