Why is there so little news coverage of the post election unrest in Iran?

I saw a lot this morning on FOX. but then i left. have not had it on since than. I was proud of those people though for standing up to their government.

same reason there is little to no coverage about

Obama's birth certificate
Obama's winning the primary despite losing to Clinton
Obama's gaff where he read the wrong speech off the teleprompter and "thanked himself"
Obma's claims that he is "creating or saving " jobs, when there is no empirical evidence that he has saved anything

Dictators control reality, see Ministry of Truth (1984)

It doesn't fit with the obama/media story line that iran is just a regular little ole country just tryin to better itself by getting nuke bombs, oops I mean nuclear power...lol...in case you haven't noticed, obama and company are quiet as mice when it comes to Iran and N. korea being bad guys...they hope nobody will remember that W called them the axis of evil (with good reason...duh)

The Iranians don't want the unrest reported anymore than the Chinese wanted the demonstrations in Tibet to be publicized. I'm sure the first thing they did was round up all the reporters. THAT'S why you're not seeing/hearing anything about it.

From the night before election we couldn't send any message and even now we cant .last day they cutting off our phone and even they blocked the most internet sites and communication network and most chanel of satellite doesn't work in here . in this two days we had a lots of conflict between people and government espesically in Tehran but the government arrested most of them many young people and students wounded but government treat like nothing has changed.This is what Iranian Government call it democracy ! in such a situation who will heard our voice?

The News in the US are covering it pretty well, if you consider the fact that they aren't that great in covering any international news. People here are interested. But I doubt that we are getting the whole story due to censorship within Iran.
