Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


If you prefer that your news come from the mullahs in Tehran, try Press TV. The channel is funded by the Iranian government, but claims it will operate without interference from the state. Press TV’s “vision,” as spelled out on its website:

1- To break the global media stranglehold of western outlets.

2- To bridge cultural divisions pragmatically.

3- To highlight the versatility and vitality of political and cultural differences, making up the human condition.
