Iran. No, really

Unless you've been following Andrew Sullivan today, or following things on Twitter, you're missing some amazing events. Sullivan's blog is non-stop coverage. The mainstream media, meanwhile, is hardly saying anything ( Read more... )

I've been following along at the BBC site, which is my new preferred site for news as CNN has become increasingly hopeless for anything but sports and entertainment.

American news media is pathetic, no two ways about it. It's extraordinarily sad. At least you're following though.

Do you have suggestions for reliable news sources? Because I'm not "up" on stuff like that.

droops June 16 2009, 14:58:49 UTC

In the U.S? Not really, or at least not a real American source. I prefer The Economist, but it's a generally right-of-center (mildly) publication out of the UK. I read it weekly, or digest it more like it. They do have a website:

But for the Iranian situation, keep an eye on Sullivan's blog. That's the place to keep tabs right now IMO.

I've been following the Twitter feed since yesterday. Scary stuff. Annoyed that media is quiet.

Yea, I'm thinking some e-mails might help, if I could find out where to send them.

Definitely riveting to watch this unfold.

I hold my breath on this, as we've had this odious regime for so long. But, maybe, this is the harbinger of change. We can only hope.

This is probably the one and only time I've ever been glued to Twitter.

I'm wearing green tonight, too.

droops June 16 2009, 01:59:59 UTC

Seriously, I never would have expected Twitter to have such an impact.

Still wearing the green myself.
