Western media lying over Iran
Allen Jasson's informed scepticism is well justified. 
 
I have no illusions about the Iranian theocracy and as an agnostic, Humanist, humanitarian object to the theocratic domination of Iranian democracy (a perversion of democracy that is mirrored in the West by domination of democracy in the Western Murdochracies by lying, racist, warmongering, holocaust-complicit and holocaust-ignoring, Zionist-beholden, Establishment Mainstream media which determine which of 2 near-identical major parties will win). 
 
In total contradiction of the Western media feeding frenzy over alleged rigging of the Iranian election is the following analysis by Ken Ballen and Patrick Doherty in the Washington Post (June 15 2009) which says: "The election results in Iran may reflect the will of the Iranian people. Many experts are claiming that the margin of victory of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the result of fraud or manipulation, but our nationwide public opinion survey of Iranians three weeks before the vote showed Ahmadinejad leading by a more than 2 to 1 margin -- greater than his actual apparent margin of victory in Friday's election ... Allegations of fraud and electoral manipulation will serve to further isolate Iran and are likely to increase its belligerence and intransigence against the outside world. Before other countries, including the United States, jump to the conclusion that the Iranian presidential elections were fraudulent, with the grave consequences such charges could bring, they should consider all independent information. The fact may simply be that the reelection of President Ahmadinejad is what the Iranian people wanted " (see: Pre-election US survey of Iranians predicted a 2 to 1 margin landslide for Ahmadinejad ).  
 
The Iranian election was certainly rigged BEFORE the election through the theocratic vetting of the all the candidates - but was probably not rigged AFTER the election in view of the US pre-election survey reported by the Washington Post.
