By the way, the Star Tribune, one of the most liberal "big city" papers in the nation, has nothing that I could find about the Iranian students protesting for political change.
In other news, here is a quote from an article from the Portland Phoenix. It is indirectly related to this thread, and so I hope not too off-topic.

And National Public Radio, which is almost religiously left of center in the bulk of its programming, hosts, and favored guests, has become one of America’s primary venues for Israel-bashing. Israel is problematic for liberals, who were once its strongest champions. Since liberals think supposedly "downtrodden" groups are justified in their actions, Israel now acts as a litmus test of the liberal-conservative chasm. This state of affairs marks an amazing 180-degree turn; until recently the right was neither philo-Semitic nor staunchly pro-Israel, and now it is. Meanwhile, the left has turned tail, fawningly adoring the new Holocaust-denier prime minister of the Palestine Authority and taking a tearful stance toward the presumed plight of the Palestinians — whose situation, though NPR and such cannot bear to say it, is the fault of Yasser Arafat’s gang.
