Iranian TV propaganda

Below is a newly posted video on YouTube (with English subtitles) shows what appears to be a series of interviews on Iranian television with people who say they were inspired by the Voice of America and the BBC to take part in the demonstrations. The interview subjects say the protesters damaged property and threw stones — despite appeals from Basij militia members.



The images below, published by IRNA itself, reveal another dimention of Iranian autorities' propaganda.
These are images from the recent Guardians Council TV broadcast session where they 'recounted' some ballot boxes and found out that indeed Ahmadinejad's votes were higher than previously counted.
As you could see from picture 1 and 2 the ballots that are being recounted are fresh, crisp, unfolded sheets, while people typically had to fold these sheets before they can slip them into the ballot boxe.
In picture number 3 you could easily notice that the handwriting on so many of the sheets which are votes for 'Ahmadinejad' are the same handwriting.
