Internet: Iran's Most Trusted Medium

Results of a recent interesting poll shows why hardline conservatives are so determined to shut down oppisition websites.

According to ISNA, the nation-wide poll shows that among various media, people have the most trust in the internet (45.5%), followed by Iranian TV and Radio (43.7%), satelite channels (25.2%), press (23%), and foreign-based radios (20%).

This could partly explain the recent aggresive crack down on reformist news websites.

One problem: You can't mix "TV" and "Radio" in this poll. I always felt there was a difference between the content of the radio and what you see on TV. At least you have the Parliamental Radio which broadcasts everything that happens in the parliament without censorship. There is not such a thing on TV
