Ignored by Liberal Mainstream Media: Iranian Regime Bribed Funeral Attendees with Free Meals

The liberal pro-Iranian mainstream media could not stop talking about the size of the crowds at the “popular” and “loved” Qassem Soleimani funeral today.

The media was in awe of the number of people at Soleimani’s funeral.

Mike Maleki wrote about his experience being forced to protests as a student in Iran.

I went to school in Iran in the 80s-early 90s & remember being periodically put on a bus along with all my classmates and taken to regime-organized demonstrations/events. It was humiliating & we hated it but were forced to go. https://t.co/7NLKc3VbbW

The regime was serving dinners to people who came out to the funeral.

Not everyone was fooled.

My piece in @washingtonpost about millions of Iranians not mourning the demise of #QassemSoleimani. For many he was a warmonger & terrorist.
Some Iranians compared the funeral services for Soleimani to those held for the Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich...https://t.co/68JYTdH4DQ
