"I am a blogger and Internet freedom activist in Iran, and I have a message that millions of Iranians are desperate for you to hear: The Western media is failing the Iranian people."
How do you fail those to whom you have no obligation? At most the western media could be said to be failing their intended audience. Although I'm not sure that is the case here either. I have seen coverage of Iranian protests, detaining of the people and general repression in Iran. As much as an Iranian activist would like probably not but I don't know that the level an Iranian activist would like is appropriate for Western media. If you ask China there are 195 countries but I include Taiwan and go with 196. With 196 countries to cover the amount of coverage for an individual country outside the primary reporting area of a newspaper or tv network is going to be limited on a per country basis.
