West attacks on Iranian media: What for?

"I don't want to be told who is a terrorist I can decide for myself!"  An analyst says Spain's particularly ridiculous excuse for the country's removal of Iran's Spanish language channel; Hispan TV is an obvious violation of free speech and exposure of Western double standards. The comment comes as the Spanish government has ordered the satellite service provider Hispasat to take the Iranian Spanish language channel, Hispan TV off the air in a blatant assault on the freedom of speech. Hispan TV, along with Iran's 24-hour English language news channel Press TV, has already been targeted by Hispasat's fellow European satellite providers Eutelsat and Hotbird. Hispasat is partly owned by Eutelsat, whose French-Israeli CEO is blamed for the recent wave of attacks on Iranian media in Europe.


Press TV has conducted an interview with international analyst for Hispan TV, Javier Farje in London to further discuss the issue. He is joined by the president of Middle East Research Center, Richard Hellman in Washington and Tehran-based journalist and political commentator, Hamid Reza Emadi.
