Silly comment, in this case reporting facts about protests is indistinguishable from "manufacturing consent".

  This article is made for a certain crowd, with a certain type of gullibility. Since the nypost has a different audience, we get to see a bit of comedy like this “Iranian forces hack out wombs of female protesters to hide horrific sexual abuse: report” (1). Babies in ovens (2) will be next right? 1. https://nypost.com/2026/02/20/world-news/imprisoned-iranian-protesters-are-being-tortured-and-raped-sources-say/ https://nypost.com/2026/02/20/world-news/imprisoned-iranian-... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

    When we speak about gullibility, under what conditions would you accept the idea of atrocities committed by a non-Western regime as real? You seem to have a massive prior for "everything is a Western/Zionist conspiracy full of puppets". Which is its own sort of gullibility, readily exploited by propagandists from the other side.

      Probably it would be more convincing if it wasn’t part of a months long campaign to bomb and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians and regime change Iran.

    Which part of the BBC article is fabricated?
