May 3 was #WorldPressFreedomDay. It is quite interesting that certain Iranians who consider themselves “journalists” did not say a word about the Iranian regime’s crackdown against true journalists inside #Iran.
Why? They are Iran apologists/lobbyists.

One example is @NegarMortazavi. She was more concerned about pushing Tehran’s talking points on U.S. sanctions against Iran.
Of course, nothing else is expected from someone who has such close relations with @JZarif.

Another example is @farnazfassihi. Again, not one word about #Iran’s crackdown against true journalists inside the country. Yet she eagerly RTs anti-Trump tweets to score cheap political points.
And, Fassihi is quite fond of Iran's now dead chief terrorist Qassem Soleimani.

Still haunts me to this day.
