Mainscream Media: Iran hysteria stirring up in US



Anti-Iranian rhetoric from Israel and Western powers seems to be having some impact on the U.S. public, according to opinion polls. The latest survey shows that a third of Americans now see the Islamic Republic as their country's worst enemy, compared to just 25 percent a year ago. RT's Marina Portnaya reports now on the intensity of the anti-Iranian message flooding the U.S. media - and its impact.

trick again. I'm just hoping that so long as we have a Democrat in office, something as stupid as an attack on Iran will not take place. The mainstream media has way too much power in this country, and their doing a great disservice to the public facilitating this fear mongering message.

If Israel has such a problem with Iran, I'd say let them deal with it themselves.
