I don't bother with the usual American news because I think it's worthless. The don't break real news stories anymore, they're gossip mongers. Just the way most Americans want them to be. Many of the news people don't even remember how to be journalists, so when Iran kicks the journalists out, they shrug and say, "No story. Too bad."

As much as I can, I follow Reza Aslan on the Daily Beast who had an interview with Ahmad Batebi published yesterday. Ahmad was the beautiful young man who held up a bloody shirt in the student uprising ten years ago, and was imprisoned for years afterward.

Nico Pitney is still live-blogging Iran. This morning he has a YouTube video of Basij going after a cameraman, among other entries.

Andrew Sullivan also did a wonderful job following the aftermath of the election, but I think it completely wore him out. I never thought I'd say he was punchy, but he was.
