Back to Iran, again.

It’s always useful to see how state media operates during events like these. This brief CNN report shows how Iranian protesters are making voluntary confessions on TV and that all is relatively peaceful on the streets.

Ahem.

Regular viewers of BigHappyVideo will find these claims somewhat odd considering the bloody, defiant and brutal clips we’ve been showing from material produced this week.

Still don’t underestimate the power of controlled media. That’s why getting the news out on the internet and blogosphere is so critical at this time.

P.S. There’s a theory going around that we should all amend our Twitter accounts to say location Tehran and also change the timezone to their zone (e.g. London +3.5 hours). Apparently it will confuse the Iranian security services while they seek to close down Tehran based accounts. Does anyone know if this is of any use? We’d love your input on this one and other ways to help spread the word.

Please post your comments, tips etc below.
