complete bollox mate. No way. State owned, state run ... and runs the government line every time. Please don't make stuff up.

"but all tv channels are biased in one way or another"
OMG the LENGTHS that ben lovers will go to to excuse Benny boy. Awesome. :"Come on the atrocities commited and the white wash by the Iranian press wasn't so bad was it?.... oh and Ben just took the cash... he didn't kill anyone!.... all countries do that don't they?... as for the papers... well all papers are biased aren't they?"

lol jesus!

Mate that's not "bias"... that's a noose around the neck of democracy.
Ben ticked that box :P

Say what you wont but I didnt make that up, they have. When some students were staging a demonstration against the State's control over it's citizens they reported it, there's one example. You have this picture of it as just endlessly streaming out Iranian propoganda 24/7 which is untrue

And all tv channels are biased aren't they? It's true that they give more air time to pro-government guests but they have also had members ofthe opposition as guests albeit not for several months. Dont get me wrong, the channel is not without criticism, but they do not just promote the Iranian regime and the acts they have commited

You criticise Ben for appearing on the channel but a number of British journalists and politicians have, he's hardly on his own. They asked him to cover the election for them and he agreed. It doesnt exactly mean he is now a leading proponent of Ahmedinejad and his regime
