Re: election in iran
ugh. an empty glib response to a serious issue.
there's such an immediacy and urgency to the situation as read on twitter and viewed on youtube. big media is right to be scared of the internet. if left to their glossy-haired, glossy-faced coverage we might just blow it off as yet another conflict in a part of the world we're none too fond of.
the tweets and the video uploads, though, humanize it. people are angry and suffering and the distance between us and them feels like it's shrunk from miles to inches.
