I had seen the MoA post earlier, but I was not aware of the AP doctoring, and switching photos from the larger pro-government rallies with smaller economic protests.

I had gathered mostly from MoA that paid agents provocateur had infiltrated the protests about economic hardship and hijacked them to spout antigovernment propaganda.

It is because crap like this is so often done that I feel the era of public marches and the like is in the past. I reckon people can better effect change via other means, now that the internet is available.

Anonymous hacking and defacing sites can actually reach more people than graffiti on gummint buildings, sometimes, for example.

Thanks for graphically showing how AP is lying to fool folks into thinking that organic Iranian protests were happening, other than to complain about inflation.
