After President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the Iranian Election, riots and protests erupted in Tehran, The western media was quick to report on this in what was nothing short of a media frenzy that also included youtube with its citizentube iran link on top of every video. The reports focused on protesters being beaten and killed including Neda Soltani a 27 year old woman shot and killed by riot police.
What is interesting is more people got killed in Tibet by China, 1400 lost their lives in the Palestinian massacre by the Israelis and more people die every day in Afghanistan and Iraq than since the election riots started, yet none of these events had barely a headline on western media.
