UNITED
NATIONS,
November 23 --
As the Iran
nuclear deal
with the P5 +
1 was
announced in
Geneva late
Saturday, the
corporate
media which
had been
there was days
seemed be
caught off
guard.
CNN
kept showing a
documentary of
John F.
Kennedy (as
did Al Jazeera
Arabic.)
But
the deal had
been
announced, and
the principals
headed to the
UN
Palais des
Nations to
sign it. But
text
journalists
were excluded,
even from
major
corporate
media, an
arbitary
Banning that
the Free UN
Coalition for
Access
protests.
Iran's
Press TV was
all over it,
broadcasting
live well
before others
jumped
in. After
Ashton's
statement,
French foreign
minister, who
as Inner
City Press
reported
previously
blew up the
talks (amid
France's pitch
of military
wares to Saudi
Arabia) spoke
briefly with
French media,
with former UN
Deputy
Permanent
Representative
Martin Briens
behind
him.
A
White House
background
press call
that was to
start at 10:30
pm was
superseded by
Obama going
live. He went
only six
minutes and
took no
questions,
throwing
things back to
Foreign
Minister Zarif
in Geneva.
There,
Margaret
Warner of PBS
told him that
the White
House summary
of the deal
didn't mention
enrichment of
uranium.
Zarif
smiled and
said, We only
require
respect for
that right.
And still
the White
House
"background"
call hadn't
started. But
already the
push back
began,
including in
Congress. And
if they could
override a
veto and
impose new
sanctions?

Footnote:
in
the run up
there was
waste and
falsehood,
such as a Reuters
scribe
who has spied
for the UN
(click here
for documents
on that)
getting
"funky" with
selfie photos
of chicken
dinners. To
this has the
MSM descended.
