[Marxism] Ahmadinejad a hero in the Middle East (L.A. Times)

[Walter Lippmann]

In the US media, Ahmadinejad is vilified as Saddam Hussein was before,
others in the world don't see him at all as the devil incarnate. Iran
is also reaching out all over the world through its international news
and web services, including the English-language PRESS-TV which can be
accessed online. I don't know how it comes up in a dialup environment,
but it's a highly professional operation, even including something of
a wry sense of humor, in addition to the news and analysis materials.

Last night, Mike Wallace's interview with Ahmadinejad was broadcast
on 60 minute. And though he tried to badger the Iranian president,
Ahmadinejad handled his end well, including answering questions on
the Holocaust, and even a bit on his personal life. Transcript:
