This was interesting. I can’t say I have a lot of previous knowledge on the subject and was somewhat skeptical of the Vice News component but who knows.
Would I prefer that women not have to wear a hijab in public in Iran? Yes. Would I prefer that women can get family planning and abortion services in Southern US states? Yes. Reporting without context is propaganda, any way you slice it, imo. Imagine a scenario in which Iranian reporters are given access to, say, San Francisco's Market Street and report on the truly horrendous homelessness situation there. Of course, this valuable piece of reporting is then broadcast to Iranians for...Propagada purposes. Who knows, May have happened already, smile.
