Are you suggesting this didn’t happen, or that they’re hypocrites for publicizing it while taking Saudi money?

Every authoritarian regime does this, and some legitimate non-totalitarian governments do too.

Yes, they are very obviously suggesting it didn't happen. I have no idea why certain people on the left want to ignore what is happening on Iran, and even pretend like nothing problematic is happening in Iran.

[Daishiman]

Nobody’s saying nothing problematic is happening in Iran.

What I’m saying is that a lot of people are extremely interested in seeing Iran fall and that Western media paid by Saudi Arabia has exactly zero credibility. So get better sources, that’s all.
