I just read this from the state-run media:
…GOP Sen. John McCain is “absentminded” and “terrible” and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, doesn’t have any appropriate experience.
Sen. Barack Obama, by contrast, is “highly educated” and “eloquent” and would serve the world much better and improve America’s overall situation.
And Sen. Joe Biden is a “very respectable” man with a “good reputation.” …
I thought I was reading a Canadian state-owned and state-run CBC news media report, but actually it turns out it was an Iranian state owned news media report.
…All this according to an interview broadcast this week on Iranian state-run media.
“[McCain] doesn’t know anything, poor thing. He is terrible. Let me tell you, he’s awful,” stated Mohammad-Ali Fardanesh, a political science professor at Shahid Behshti University, which is an Iranian state-funded school.
You can see the confusion I was having between the state-owned medias of Iran and Canada. Same quality of sources and everything!
…“McCain not only has no experience, but doesn’t even know where ‘abroad’ is. The poor guy is very absentminded,” said Fardanesh.
The political science professor, billed by Iranian television as a U.S. expert, then turned his sights on Palin, calling her inexperienced.
“I don’t think her husband knows about her experience either. She doesn’t have any experience,” he said.
Amazing how state-owned (heck—all Canadian) media always rely on state-owned professors for “expert” “analysis”. And hey maybe the CBC or the CTV will employ him as one of their “experts” on U.S. politics!
Fardanesh then lavished praise on Obama, stating his election would “improve the situation in America in general.” … “Mr. Obama’s perspective is more clear. Only yesterday, they transferred control of the Al-Anbar province to the Iraqi government, on the first day of Ramadan. This is something Mr. Obama has been saying.
Huh?
Asked about Biden, Fardanesh called him “a very respectable man. He has a good reputation, and he is respectable and healthy. He has been in the Senate for 36 years, since he was 29. They are more knowledgeable in foreign affairs.”
Turning back to McCain, Fardanesh concluded, “My problem is that McCain is a war hero, a veteran pilot, whose plane crashed in Vietnam and who spent eight and a half years at war.”
I know they say this is a report from the Iranian state media, but I just can’t believe this isn’t the Canadian state media.
