Why is the press pandering to Iran?

One headline after the other places Iran in as being in a position of strength. For example "Iran claims Telegram will shut down channels requested by Tehran" this was rebutted by Telegram's founder.“Telegram channels can be blocked ONLY if they contain pornographic content or ISIS propaganda.”

Let's not forget our so-called allies in Italy either.. no surprise that they are "kissing up" to the Iranians, I seem to recall another Italian name Mussolini who "kissed up" to another "nut case" name Adolf Hitler...

Iran is our natural ally in the region. We continue to push them away to satisfy Israel. Iran is a natural foil to Saudi Arabia -- our real enemy. Proof? Iran WAS our ally for decades.

The press panders to Iran because they have their marching orders. You don't follow your marching orders, you don't get to spend one on one time with POTUS at the White House sharing recipes in the presidential kitchen......The press panders to Iran because our government panders to Iran.......If POTUS is in bed with the mullahs, the press is right there with them.......

Iran does this thing with their media/propaganda where they use heaps of inflammatory rhetoric along with shameless self promotion and saber rattling to make themselves look good. It's when they have actual success in what they're trying to accomplish that the media takes a shine to them.

I ask only one question....
Over the passed seven years in office, has the POTUS actions been more in line with Christians or Muslims?

The Press has always favored liberal politicians and liberal causes. No wonder when 2008 came along, with Obama spouting a desire to redistribute wealth, he was instantaneously a media favorite. If memory is correct...early 1970's... the Shah of Iran hid out in the US at one time, then the revolutions in Iran and the Ayatollahs took over...first was Khomeni. Our embassy overtaken and US employees were held for over 400 days.
Supporting, or even believing, anything Iran has to say is at best rolling the dice. That Obama would speak up in their behalf should come as no surprise. Hasn't he blamed Israel for all the problems in the Middle East and positioned Muslim countries as victims. POTUS was, and for good reason, rejected by Israel's leadership.
All media, print and electronic, in Iran is controlled and edited by the Iranian government. The one thing we must remember is Israel is constantly monitoring Iran's activity and, as has happened before, will not hesitate to destroy any site of WMD construction in Iran.
