A Slow-moving Military Coup


Events in the Iranian election certainly caught everyone off-guard this week, and in fact devolved so quickly that it was hard to keep up with them. Here, Reza Aslan talks to John Roberts on Thursday's American Morning, before the bottom fell out:


Friday, Reza spoke with Rick Sanchez about what was clearly coming into focus as massive election fraud:



(Reza has a column posted today on The Daily Beast that is the source of the post title.)

Here also are the clips from Sunday's Fareed Zakaria GPS of Christiane Amanpour's report from Tehran and the panel discussion:

  1. Why isn't 360 on Fridays? It is causing CNN's
    ratings to go down.TVN has the numbers for
    Friday and it is not pretty. Dobbs and Brown
    can not continue in the line-up.TVN also has
    some interesting info on Brown's show.CNN
    needs 2 replacement shows like last year.

  2. Kudos to Don Lemon. He really did great work
    on Sunday. He talked openly about CNN's Iran
    coverage and was very respectful of the critics
    and proved yet again he is a solid journalist.

  3. I was just on TVN and the numbers are really
    Jaw-dropping. CNN did not even have one million
    viewers and was 4th in the demo(under 200 thou).
    CNN needs to lose Campbell Brown and Larry King.
    The content of their programs last night was just
    inexcusable,Why 360 did not air live for 2 hours
    is beyond me. People have clearly turned on CNN.


    I for the life of me can not figure out why
    CNN is using pundits when talking about Iraq.
    Newsflahs : drop the pundits like a bad habit
    when covering major news stories.360 should
    have been live for 2 hours and should get back
    to being a 120 minutes news program.CNN is
    confusing its viewers. We do not know if 360
    will be news or a special. Here is another big
    story that CNN blew in a major way. I really
    can not believe that CNN does not have a
    social media team. How can a news channel
    not have a tech savvy team these days.
    Management should even have a couple
    of social media folks to bring CNN in to
    the 21st century.


    CNN=fail is for real this time.CNN had
    better get back in to the 24/7 news biz
    again before there is nothing left to save.
