Ahmad Zeidabadi, the Iranian political activist, says Iran International is the other side of the coin of state TV news networks.
Ahmad Zeidabadi, the political activist, criticized the approach of the satellite network Iran International during the recent protests in his Telegram channel, writing: In our neighborhood, the intensity of jamming prevents the reception of news networks; the only channel that can be received is Iran International TV.
If you ask me what my opinion about this network is, I must sadly say it is the other side of the coin of state TV news networks. I know that some of my friends and former colleagues work at this network.
I never intend to hurt or wound their feelings, but I am compelled to remind them that perhaps even they do not realize how destructive, ruthless, nerve-wracking, and concerning their work output is within the country to someone like me. I wish there was an opportunity to communicate my opinion to them through dialogue with the network itself, but probably neither they are inclined to do so, nor do the security apparatuses here tolerate such an action. The details of this story will remain for later.
