I read this in the Tehran Times and was pretty surprised at the way they talk about media responsibility.

Media can be opportunity or threat: Esmaeili
Tehran Times Culture Desk

TEHRAN –- Director of the Mehr News Agency Parviz Esmaeili made a speech at the third edition of the Cultural Press Festival (the Cultural Press is affiliated to the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization) held here on Thursday.

He remarked that today’s new media forms can be an opportunity for the dissemination of constructive information or, misused, they can pose a threat to the values of society.

Esmaeili talked about the role of the media in the contemporary world and the relationship between new types of media and the younger generation. He stressed that in the Islamic Republic of Iran the media should be faithful to Islamic principles and civil rights.

Is this just the public statements made by them to mask what they really put out as news or is this for real?
