Again the media


BBC says
Iranian riot police and militiamen appear to have halted protests in the capital, Tehran, after days of clashes over the country's disputed election.


As if protests are only being held for the benefit of the Western media, and if there's a day's break, everything must be over. Who knows what they'd make of the '78 revolution these days, with 24 hour coverage and incessant impatience. That revolution took over a year. These days, they expect everything in a week or the news agenda moves on. Ridiculous.
Well, to the best of my knowledge, there were no big demos planned for yesterday. Except for the one outside the British embassy by the regime, which was small (see picture).
Today's different though. 9:00 at the closed bazaar - which isn't photogenic, so won't be reported but gives people a chance to meet, and 16:00 at Baharestan Square.
See what happens.
Tomorrow is the big one.
