According to Press TV, RSF is considered an "official source". 

Here is an official quote from RSF:

"Iran has become the Middle East’s biggest and among the five biggest prisons in the world for journalists."

Why doesn't the "objective" Press TV cover the truth that is closer to home? 

Perhaps Press TV should pay a visit to the RSF site to see what RSF thinks about the Islamic Republic of Iran's track record on its treatment of journalists: 

The Iranian regime really needs to focus on domestic issues for once rather than cite global statistics. The Iranian regime should first clean the disgusting mess in its own backyard before it cries for other nations!

Here is a quote from RSF on Iran:

“The human rights situation in Iran keeps on deteriorating,” Reporters Without Borders said. “We continue to see suspicious deaths of detainees and activists and mistreatment in various prisons, especially Evin and Raja’i Shahr. Prisoners of conscience are in constant danger, as the families of many detainees said in a letter to the special rapporteur. //en.rsf.org/iran-regime-​rejects-un-rapporteur-visit-05​-07-2011,40584.html
