Radio Farda's inconsistent journalism

Radio Farda was covering the rebellious cleric, Mohammed Kazemeini Boroujerdi, as if he was a revolutionary leader with hundreds of thousands of devotees and was totally disrupting life in Tehran and challenging the Islamic Republic, as a secular leader, a liberator. (Check out the complete coverage of the story and a cached version of their front page yesterday. )

Its coverage was extremely biased and unprofessional, in that it was implicitly encouraging the viewers to join this man of God who has turned against the clergy himself.

I've consulted Radio Farda for their website in Prague a while ago and I have to say that their editors in Prague are much less biased their its office in Washington D.C. Its website even makes things worse with its selection of the top news, headlines, pictures, excerpts etc.

Many of the Prague staff even believed the type of journalism conducted in Washington D.C's branch has badly damaged the credibility of Radio Farda as a whole.
