CNN headlined, "UK revokes Iranian network's license," regurgitating comments like above.
MSNBC ran a Reuters article doing the same thing. So did Murdoch's Fox News , adding: "It is a crime in Britain to broadcast without a license." It's true as well for truth and full disclosure reporting. They're also suppressed in America, especially on Fox.
For years, America's major media scoundrels waged war on Iran. Supportively, they back Washington's regime change plans. They also misreport, distort, and cheerlead all US imperial wars.
London Guardian writer Mark Sweney headlined, "Iran's Press TV loses UK license," saying:
"....Ofcom revoked its license for breaching the Communications Act. (It) found that Press TV's practice of running its editorial oversight from Tehran....is in breach of broadcasting license rules in the UK.""Hadi Ghaemi, director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, welcomed Ofcom's decision. 'It's about time for the Iranian government to pay a price for its reliance on broadcasts to commit and promote egregious human-rights crimes.' "
Britain's state owned BBC regurgitated Ofcom's fabrication about "breach(ing) several broadcasting license rules over editorial control of the channel." Why not? They were told what to report and did so.
In contrast, Russia Today quoted Press TV calling Ofcom's revocation "a clear act of censorship." UK media analyst Phil Rees said it was geopolitically motivated, saying:
"Press TV has been viewed through geopolitical terms - and there is a breakdown of relations between Britain and Iran. Press TV's journalism is not viewed (as) journalism, but....in terms of British-Iranian relations."
