Opposition Candidate Karroubi Assails Iran's State-Run Media, Compares Ahmadinejad Government to Taliban
[CNN] Opposition candidate Mehdi Karroubi wrote to Ezattollah Zarghami, head of state-run radio and television, scolding Iranian media for blaming recent violence on the demonstrators. The "assaults, beatings and murder of innocent people" were committed by plain-clothed security forces, not by demonstrators, Karroubi said. "You know well that those who support Mr. Ahmadinejad's government today are promoters of fanatic and Taliban-like Islam," he said.
