  Especially since there's no such thing as an Israeli F17.

    Sorry I don't even know how that posted. I was in the middle of writing my reply and looking up the news story on presstv. The claim is an Israeli F16.

Those of us from the US really shouldn't be laughing. Had US propaganda wished, we'd be running around in fear of these things, just like with Saddam Hussein's WMDs and all the other boogieman tales which whip up support for international violence.

And full of fiction. They reported Hamas shot down an Israeli F16 back in November. No one else reported such a thing. Not even the Palestinians. http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/11/16/272691/israeli-f16-jet-shot-down-in-gaza/ http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/11/16/272691/israeli-f16-j... If anyone watches Iranian TV in it's native language they will see it is full of military propaganda. I.e. showing off Iranian combat and military marches. Iran has bilateral media cooperation agreements with many countries. A quick Google search shows: Turkey: http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9106062786 http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9106062786 Pakistan: http://app.com.pk/en_/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=125694 http://app.com.pk/en_/index.php?option=com_content&task=... China: http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9104252409 http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9104252409 I personally remember a few years ago when China first signed such an agreement. For this reason you find recycled PressTV content in Chinese media. I've witnessed PressTV interviews being repackaged on SBS in Australia where it seems like SBS presenter Lee Lin Chin is conducting an interview, but in actuality, it is just repackaged Press TV propaganda. As in, PressTV has the exact same anti-West/Israel interview but on SBS it is Lee Lin conducting the interview instead of the PressTV correspondents. Press TV's correspondents promote Holocaust denial and the anti-Semitic trope that the U.S. government and media are controlled by Jews. They also propagate that the US and Israel orchestrated the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. http://edition.presstv.ir/detail/144012.html http://edition.presstv.ir/detail/144012.html I'm okay with freedom of press but this form of anti-Semitism in mainstream international media is beyond discuss. Honestly I feel this is more disgusting than the protocols of the elders of zion. How is it okay that innocent Chinese who have never met Jews and Israelis are being indoctrinated with anti-Semitism?! How is it okay that SBS in Australia can pull such bullshit in Australia? I wonder if SBS' motive is tight finances and some anti-Semite is in their board?
