The Day in 100 Seconds: The Digital Davids

[rocketmailer]

HAHA why you Westerns are so so interested in Iranian affairs . even you know iran do not have any relations with you .. ya there is really political agenda behind you media all of the iranian know about it and even the supporters of mosavi dont like you.. only 5 % of shah support are on your side ... but no fear when god is on our side ..

Down with US UK Israel .. and all those who supports your evil agenda

[SabuPtolemy]

I'm not on Twitter.  I feel left out.

P.S.: Gretchen is a Twatchen - gives all the blondes in this world a bad name.

[StupidShouldHurtBad]

She's a damn MORON! ALL those Fox FUCKS are MORONS!

[Chewy240284]

"oops twitter".....yummy

[TheNoel]

Go Persians! It's time for a revolution.

[Noobcs]

doesn't it get enough for you?

[xTheOxx]

Anyone noticed that Gretchen Carlson mentions the "shahs and clerics" in Iran?

THERE HAVEN'T BEEN SHAHS IN 30 YEARS, DUMBASS!

[Richardgwm]

Rumor has it the Iranian government has hired Karl Rove.

Now THAT GUY knows how to steal an election.

[faithslayer500]

I really appreciate what you guys do - cutting all the important news clips together.... Just thought I should say that, and thanks :)

[mraevirdomil]

Are they preparing us for a war with Iran?

I'm surprised they're actually covering something important... makes me suspicious.

[LifeinaRaindrop]

The first time I heard of twitter was from this republican senator, I don't think I'll ever get over that and go twittering.

[AbstractMindsThink]

I find the term "Tweet" vaugely dirty.... =)

[tyrone70]

i find twat even dirtier.

[Skurgefaust]

maybe you should try to find cleaner twat then

[PersonalJesus348]

twating

[mike50333]

Faux Neus finally does a serious news report, and they still fail misirably.  DEATH TO FAUX!

[kingreich22]

Iran is a significant story, but the US media seems to have a difficult time explicating the root cause and the implications of this crisis. There have not been many analytically questions asked. It has only been: "Oh wow people are using twitter to fight Ahmedinedjad!!!"

Well, Martin Luther used the printing press to spread his 95 Theses...give me a break! Certainly, technology does make a difference but we're not reinventing the wheel here. So Diane Sawyer needs to sock it!

[glaked23]

I had never heard of twitter until like 6 months ago and now it's absolutely everywhere heck Kevin Love announced his coach getting fired through twitter before the team did.

[bedmasmath]

wtf, enough with the news people sucking on the tweeter tits, lol (i like that if i don't mind, and i don't)

btw, iran is part of the world, 24hr news channel got lots of hours to fill it looks like, they will pick something and RUN with it, yikes

[marniespeaks]

fine, now can we get back to the problems in the US like Health Care and War?

How about marching in DC like they are in Iran for Health Care, housing and the War

[steeleye65]

Obama's healthcare plan is a disaster. Now, I hope that the people of Iran can better there position at home and in the world without a civil war. They are on the right path if they can off load Ahmadinejad.

[marniespeaks]

spoken like you have no clue what you are talking about

[fishhead06]

"The shahs and the clerics"? WTF? What shahs?

[kingreich22]

Media airheads. They talk before they think.....Anyway, it's Fox News

[WKaliberr]

0:33

I would not let her get off my dick.

[tustruman]

the fact that it's so easy to tweet under someone else's name really about sums out the reliability of tweets.

[baronmorris]

twitter is like any tool or technology. it can be banal or truly significant, smart or stupid, destructive or creative.

less media attention on ashton kutcher's breakfast choices would sure be nice tho.

peace to all

VIVA OBAMA! :-D

[Puabond]

The 2009 Twitter revolution.

[Uwiluz60]

carmie1818...Trix are for kids...but tits aren't..lol

[OrbisFerrum]

Couldn't fox news get someone more competent than that dolt? Murdoch has the money doesn't he? Or did he make a bad investment? This is made worse about how absolutely historic the whole situation is. I don't know how the Iranian regime is going to manage this one and remain in power. And all she can say is "hey, these guys are old, they don't get technology".

I don't think 99.9% of people get it either... but what do I know?

[mehtoole]

Great job TPMTV!

[vdohwatcher]

good candidates to sell "freedom" and "democracy"; especially if the country has rich oil reserves......

BLOOD & OIL DON'T MIX WELL

[dragonfox312]

lmfao its hard not to laugh at this

[WKaliberr]

some of those Iranian women are pretty fucking hot

[tustruman]

I know! Hot people tend to exist in all countries...varying in numbers of course.

[WKaliberr]

except for Vatican

its a sausagefest there

[LorenzKamo]

Blah Blah Blah

[zidmt]

Forget all the political BS. What are the people supposed to do when they feel wronged in an elesction? Roll over ala bush/chenny 2003? Or rise up and show the majority is in power not the sleezy,

[AtheistOnTheEdge]

Down with Islam! Down with organized religion!

[PharaohNineD]

Does everybody have money in twitter???

[eurohim]

Gotta appreciate of nation standing up against their government when they feel they've been wronged.

[oldtownkid]

100% with you... maybe what we should've done when the 2000 election was handed to that texas retard when the mayority of us voted for Al Gore.

[delicflower]

good for them!

[Uwiluz60]

Maybe its 1979 again in Iran...But with tweet.

[sexdrugsRnR]

the legitimacy of all states need to be questioned. why? because they are self-legitmated.

[c2thew]

social media win!

[carmie1818]

My ex-girlfriend had fake tweets...I mean tits.

[Uwiluz60]

carmie1818 ...That's nicer than any TWEET !

[carmie1818]

But don't forget silly rabbit...tweets are for free...but her tits weren't.

[robinvan1983]

the CEO's of Twitter must be seeing dollarsigns with all the media coverage they are getting.... and i was i wishing the hype was over... but then this is for a good cause

[3star2nr]

Whats happening in Iran is beautiful.

I support you revolutionaries!!!

Stand up for what you believe in!

[squidb8]

I say a long time coming. The Gov of Iran has been counter to the people of Iran since the '70s.

Its good to see it didn't take more than a couple gens for the tension to snap.

[OlivierdeAthos]

It's been longer than that. Don't forget that the current Revolutionary (theocratic) government is only there because they overthrew the Shah in 1979, and the Shah was only there because western countries (including ours) staged a coup in 1953 to overthrow Mohammed Mosaddeq, who was the last democratically elected leader of Iran.

[HugeHeroesFan]

Those Iranian's are pretty cute.

[3star2nr]

I know right Iranian women are fucking hot!!!

[Q2IN2Y]

Word I want me one... :-(

[OlivierdeAthos]

Hahah! THEY know it too, generally speaking.

[route99]

I hope people heed President Obama's words and allow the Iranians the decide this matter on their own. It's not our job to get involved with this matter. The intense media spotlight is a little suspect in that sense. Why highlight Iran so much? Where were the American media during the 2008 Zimbabwe elections where far greater human atrocities occured?

We should advocate for fair elections, an end to senseless violence, and Iranian stability through diplomacy, and diplomacy alone.

[robinvan1983]

i agree with you.... difference between Iran and Zimbabe..... Iran is nation of evil according to US media and thuse more sensation worthy.... Zimbabe... is ..... just another country somewhere in africa.... same goes with the orange revolution in ukraine a few years ago... not alot of coverage

[OlivierdeAthos]

Oh, actually the Orange Revolution got a LOT of coverage, because it was an example of people breaking away from the influence of big, bad Russia. Ditto for the Rose Revolution in Georgia. In order to get any attention from American media, you have to either have something we want (oil, access to trade routes, ie Panama), or be somehow associated with one of our ginned up enemies.

[ver506]

I'm very impressed by Iranians. They don't believe the election was fair, so their standing up for what they believe is right....peacefully too! Who would have thunk it?

[ver506]

I didn't mean to offend anyone, i'm actually giving credit to Iranians for doing this so peacefully. Anytime there's such a large group of people together, something's bound to go wrong.

Iranians deserve credit for doing this with very few incidents. Kudos to them for that, that's all i'm saying.

[TedinLasVegas]

Forget that, the only way this Mullah-led, corruption-covered government will get overthrown and freedom to come to Iran is for them to violently over the government.

[HugeHeroesFan]

Ah I see. I misstook what you said. Sorry about that.

[terrence0258]

Americans are too divided to rise against anything from the government. Conservatives sat on their hands for 30 years as they saw Reagan and the two Bush's take our national debt from 700 billion to 11 trillion now they want to protest everyday because Obama passed a stimulus package that cut their taxes. We won't ever protest the way our democracy is run we will just continue to demonize the other side.

[LtHavoc1983]

Wow, looks like another Iranian revolution, hope that will end well and without bloodshed......

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

People have already died idiot!!

WAKE UP.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

We have our own problems as a Country.. I just don't understand how people are SOooOOoOo caught up into this Crap!! We're not Iranians.. We're AMERICANS!!

Our Media tries to make it seem like America isn't corrupt.. I don't know about you guys but wasn't it 4 years ago when George Bush "STOLE" the 2004 election? WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

[LeGioNoFZioN]

I think you mean 8 years ago, 4 years ago was legit

[OlivierdeAthos]

There hasn't been a legit election in the U.S. since we abandoned the paper ballot for the Satanic Diebold Vote Stealer 5000.

I'll take an Iraqi-style paper, pencil, and ink-stained finger election over the Oligarchic facade of democracy that we have now. (And don't even get me STARTED on the Electoral College.)

[squidb8]

G dub isn't even in office, give it a rest.

Just say thank God and carry on with your life.

[slytherinspy1960]

lol George Bush didn't make it so obvious though so it was harder to discern if he did or not. ;)

And who said we were perfect, I didn't hear anyone saying that the Iranians were sooo below us unless you are talking about some news channel no one in their right mind would watch.

And were caught up in this 'crap' as you so lightly put it, because the Iranians are trying to get actual reform which is a big thing considering. And seriously stop being such an isolationist. :P

[fishhead06]

Oh, Gawd forbid that Americans should take an interest on what's going on in the rest of the world. You might be at risk for gaining perspective or something.

[somecomputergeek]

Looks like the Iranians care more about their democracy than we do in the US. We could learn a thing or two from the Iranians.

[HugeHeroesFan]

True that.

[luchamini]

I hope when the time comes that Americans will stand together in the same way that the Iranians are.

[notscooter952]

Revolt against an islamic theocracy?

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

We'll the time is NOW!! Barack Obama is gearing up to take all of our rights away.. So I would hope that people would stand together. I doubt that it'll happen though because people are still SLEEP!!

[squidb8]

Thus far we've got it easy compared to Iran.

Let's not belittle their struggle by hooking whatever wagon, some of us Americans may feel are pulling around, to.

[luchamini]

Notice the "when the time comes" part. I don't mean let's march the streets now, even though Obama is giving even more authority to the Fed as we speak. We march when they require us to be chipped to purchase groceries or something along those lines. Marching without a solid reason would make us look paranoid and crazy.

[squidb8]

It also looks paranoid readying for a march in an indetermind future for some slight that has yet to be revealed.

The Iranian pot has been boiling since before the ayatollah came into power.

[johnnyk67]

Great job!

[luchamini]

Then rate them 5 stars.

[johnnyk67]

Good point.
