Facts:
1. Kambiz Hosseini (کامبیز حسینی ) is an employee of the U.S. Government.
2. VOA and Parazit are news sources owned, operated and controlled by the U.S. government.
3. VOA’s & Parazit’s mandate is to promote “the foreign policy objectives of the United States government.” (I.e., to make the U.S. look good and Iranians look bad and to obtain results favorable to the U.S. government.)
4. Kambiz Hosseini cannot ask his paymasters tough or uncomfortable questions, including about the US government’s shooting down of an Iranian passenger plane on its normal flight in the Persian Gulf that killed 300 people and 71 children. The fact that he doesn’t means he is an unpatriotic Iranian. The fact that he doesn’t ask questions about MEK, means he’s an unpatriotic-Iranian. The list is long.
5. The photograph above shows the bodies of dead Iranians killed by the U.S. being retrieved from the Persian Gulf (300 killed including 71 children).
6. Real journalism requires neutrality — something you can never have when the reporter works for one of the interested parties (the U.S. government). [fn 1] Government journalism lacks all of the qualities of neutrality: accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability.
7. Kambiz Hosseini is a government stooge. He has handlers, and his handlers have U.S. handlers. He simply does not have credibility: He’s an entertainer who is representing the views of the U.S. government. The Formula: US government policies + Kambiz Hosseini’s face = Parazit.
[fn 1] Ken Silverstein described non-governmental American Journalism as, “spineless reporting with no edge. The idea seems to be that journalists are allowed to go out to report, but when it comes time to write, we are expected to turn our brains off and repeat the spin [while] shirking our responsibility to inform readers.” (K. Silverstein, “Turkmeniscam: How Washington Lobbyists Fought to Flack for a Stalinist Dictatorship”, 2008.) The problem is much worse when government actually owns the media sources (VOA, Parazit, BBC) and is hostile to the interests of another nation: Think about it.
