Houston, TX- October 23, 2019 – We, the Iranian Americans in Texas strongly condemn faulty and bias report by NBC News in an article published about the Iranian opposition on October 17, 2019.
The article insread of addressing terror activities by the Iranian despots against us, attending the Free Iran Rally in Paris, it desiminate Iran’ despots talking points against the main Iranian opposition, the Mujahedin Khaleq (MEK). The article is filled with baseless allegations repeated by Daniel Benjamin and a line of apologists.
The NBC News reporting, unfortunately ignors fundamental journalistic principles, as it willfully diose not address Iran’s human rights violations record, choosing instead to follow Iran’s Mullahs narrative. The NBC bears responsibility to write even about Amnesty International, “blood-soaked.
The NBC reports, including its distorted account of a June 2018 terror plot against Iraninan diaspora, including our community members in Paris, proves a direct cooperation with the regime in Tehran.
We urge NBC to judge why Iranian regime and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) repeatedly broadcast this NBC report in Farsi on their censured media, using it to bolster their oppression apparatus.
We hope the readers to examine the details of NBC’s apparent relationship with the Iranian dictatorship. It is a shame.
