 White House @PressSec @kayleighmcenany raised a very important issue about various outlets in mainstream media.

This thread sheds light on the fact that MSM is also active in pushing the talking points of #Iran’s regime.
2)
 CNN is a mouthpiece of Iran’s regime
-inviting chief Tehran lobbyist @tparsi
-saying Iran's “small steps” actually "make sense"
-blaming everything on Trump
-expressing outrage over the terrorist-designation of the notorious Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)

 Why are @JZarif & #Iran’s lobby @NIACouncil so concerned about an Iranian scientist in U.S. custody?

Is this a simple case of a humanitarian emergency?

Or is there a far more important reason behind all this brouhaha?
2)
 The story begins in 2011 when Dr. Sirous Asgari, a materials science and engineering professor, travels to the U.S. with a B2 (tourism) visa seeking to supposedly see his children in New York, Florida, Los Angeles and Pennsylvania.
3)
 Asgari is a professor at the Department of Engineering and Material Science in Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology. His field of work is quite important for the regime in Iran to advance their nuclear and ballistic missile industries.

 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.
3)
 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.
