[Guest guest]

"Ayatollah Khamenei said that the mass media would have positive

impacts on improving situation of the mankind and promoting

international peace and security, but, they have become as tools in

the hands of warmongers to ignite flames of war and promote a

certain lifestyle in order to strip different nations of their

cultural identity." 

Iran's Supreme Leader Blasts Intnl Media  

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali

Khamenei said on Tuesday that international media networks are

suffering from an epidemic of ignoring human tragedies at the

expense of magnifying small events. 

In a meeting with representatives of different national radio and

television networks being represented in the Seventh International

Conference of Radio Union, the Supreme Leader said that the

international media networks easily ignore death of 120,000 Iraqi

civilians in US-led invasion of Iraq and instead, they give wide

coverage to the bird flu victims. 

The Supreme Leader said that a distinctive way of thinking and

culture have dominated the international media networks serving

interests of large economic enterprises and the hegemonic powers. 

"If ethical values and virtue find a way to the administrative

system of the international media networks, situation of humanity

will improve and they would work for happiness and prosperity of

mankind," the Supreme Leader said. 

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the mass media would have positive

impacts on improving situation of the mankind and promoting

international peace and security, but, they have become as tools in

the hands of warmongers to ignite flames of war and promote a

certain lifestyle in order to strip different nations of their

cultural identity. 

"The mass media should serve as a good venue for dialogue among

nations in bilateral or multilateral forms to exchange views about

culture, ethics and lofty humanitarian values," the Supreme Leader

said. 

Citing the example of "one-way propaganda of the international mass

media", the Supreme Leader said that the international mass media

are attributing "weapon production" to Iran's plan to produce

nuclear energy, because they are working for the arms manufacturing

companies and producers of destructive atomic bombs. 

"They are spreading big lies every day. They do not reflect every

day systematic genocide of defenseless Palestinians by the Zionist

regime, but instead, they give full coverage if an explosion occurs

and a few people get injured," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
