Banned reporter turns to weblogs
Iranian regime is the best promoter of weblogs.
The latest example is Massih (Masoumeh) Alinejad, the parliament correspondent for reformist newspapers who was banned from the parliament building last week because of the troubles she had made for hardliner MPs.
It took 80 signs to oust her who had revealed financial interests the supposedly God-fearing and people-serving had secretly received as new year gifts and other occasions. Although they said she was banned for being "rude and intrusive".
But now she has a weblog in which she continues to reveal more about the hypocrite MPs.

Well, it seems that politicians in Iran are just as corrupt as politicians in the U.S.!
Hoder, you may already know this, but your blog and this post in particular was featured in a blogging segment today on MSNBC. I just happened to be watching, and I caught your name and a brief mention of this post. They also showed your blog page for several seconds on a giant screen TV in the studio. Congratulations for your hard work being recognized!

To this day I will say the Iranian regime is the most mardom-shenas regime. The people in Iran had always supported the ulama because they understood their plights, they dealt with them, they knew their condition, while the monarchs were oblivious on them. Although some clerics who have now become affluent today as a result of being in power, no longer are as aware of the people's plights, which causes them to disregard it.

What is the point of refering to a persian page in your English blog? Iranian in general, and Iranian journalists in particular, should have English blogs too. Unicode made it easy to type Persian, but I don't think we can make people of the other countries and international organizations learn Persian. This Persian "weblogestan" doesn't work out of Iran.
