It really makes you think, when two major MSM sources are reporting two completely different sets of "facts" - while bloggers, Twitter, etc are criticized for spreading rumors. This all will make a fascinating media study someday, assuming some missing puzzle pieces can be filled in once things calm down in Iran. Agreed.

So many different variations circulating on her. The LAT says she'd always been apolitical, but that she was stirred to action over the election results. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-iran-neda23-2009jun23,0,366975,full.story Huh, wow.
