Mohsen Hashemi’s Reaction to the Ban on Entekhab: Banning Domestic Media Serves Foreign Outlets

Mohsen Hashemi’s reaction to the suspension of Entekhab: Suspending domestic media serves foreign media.

Entekhab website was one of the highly-followed domestic media outlets that unfortunately faced disregard from the Ministry of Culture, while this ministry should be a supporter of domestic media.

While the facilities, personnel, and budget of government-supporting media, including the national media and public news agencies, are thousands of times greater than those of critical media, silencing the voice of critical domestic media indicates the government’s media content weakness, which the leadership has also emphasized.

On the eve of Arbaeen, silencing critics is not a good message, as the Commander of the Faithful said, your friend is the one who tells you your faults, not the one who speaks to please you.
