Contrasting protest coverage Iran vs G-20 and Georgia

Iran, Iran, Iran. You would think this was the only news in the world. Odd isn't it?

What is so unique about unrest in Iran? Isn't there unrest everywhere? Sure there is!
Aren't there protests everywhere?
Yup, there are!
Look at the G-20 protests. The coverage that was given served to portray the protestors in a negative light and law enforcement as doing their job to keep the peace. Even when the death of an innocent bystander resulted, Ian Tomlinson at the hands of head bashing police officers, the main stream media stayed quite quiet. Apologies I stand corrected, quiet, except for the smear campaign that was launched against the victim after the police brutality was exposed! Apparently, Ian Tomlinson liked to drink. As if that justified his murder at the hands of law enforcement. The main stream media was clearly making excuses, clearly justifying the actions of law enforcement.

In Iran, it is a different story.
The police trying to control some extremely unruly crowds are portrayed as ruthless and "videos of police beating demonstrators hit hard at the emotions"
Unusual for western media to be sympathetic to unruly protestors.

At the G-20 where the police were bashing peaceful protestors, those on line videos sure didn't "hit hard at the emotions".

But, the protests in Iran? Resulting in heart strings being tugged?
Does this coverage make one suspect the western audience is being played?
Makes me suspicious.
If protesting is legitimate in Iran for an election, it surely should be at the G-20 protests, when issues affecting the world populace are being discussed and decided upon by elites behind locked gates. Gates that ensure the masses are left out in the cold.
But if the G-20 protests aren't relevant in your mind.
Let us look at another country. Georgia.
There have been many protests there.
Did you know that? Most people don't.
Why is that? Well there hasn't been much western mainstream media coverage of it. Certainly not the wall to wall, 24/7, coverage Iran has garnered.
Yet, in Georgia on June 15th/09, guess what was going on?
Protests! Along with police beatings!

The protests have been going on for a while now.

Here is a story from May 26/09. Thousands attend Georgia protest

On May 5/09 I covered the news story that there was an attempted coup in Georgia
Tank Batallion Mutiny in Georgia

The protests have in fact, been going on for two months now. TWO MONTHS!



Where is the western media coverage on this situation. Where are the hard hits at the western emotions for these disgruntled citizens? Why there aren't any at all! None.
It is just like, it doesn't exist.
Why is that?
Look at these two countries, Georgia and Iran.
One already has a pro-western puppet installed. That would be Georgia.
As for Iran, well there are hopes to install a pro- western puppet, or to at least demonize sufficiently to "bomb, bomb, bomb,-bomb, bomb Iran" to quote John McCain.

The agenda is political.
There are western aspirations (regime change and more) behind this wall to wall media coverage.
