Zesht: that teache is

Zesht: that teache is Mentaly ill.

جمهوری اسلامی مرض دارد

 واقعا که جمهوری اسلامی مرض دارد. اصلا اینا الکی گیر می دن به مردم. مثل اینکه مردم می گن ما با شما کاری نداریم، شما هم با ما کاری نداشته باشین...ولی این دیوانه ها می گن نه، ما می خوایم شما را اذیت کنیم. آخه این چه کاریه؟ واقعا مرضه.

بسیار شخصیت خوبی هستند. ایشان آگاهانه همانند بسیاری از ایرانیان، ایرانی خالی از جنگ و آتش و انقلاب می خواهند. ما هم همین را می طلبیم. ایرانیان در واقع مردمی اصلاح طلب هستند و از خونریزی خسته.

I admit I just can't figure Out Behnoud's ambiguous Mindset

Again, I think he is very confused even more so after watching this far more complete version ...

Too bad cause I truly think he is a man of quality 

Sigh ... 

Massoud Behnoud's More Complete Interview here

More Complete Interview Here

رقابت بی بی سی با صدای آمریکا

I am with Jeesh Daram and solitude

Its been long that I just fast forward to the interviews and watch only that section. I find the interviews have got better and still enjoy watching them, the rest of the program is just … well it has already been said better by the two gents above.

Wake-up calls keep coming

predictability is the killer of satire.............told you guys way back.....you need a female third face for a bit of fresh air..........But, and that's a big but: No fake bleach blond...and no Perrrrrrrrrzian squeaky voice....Az man goftan!

DIDO! Sir Jeesh Daram...

You took the words out of
my and I am sure perhaps many other ADULTS who watch this not so funny(anymore)
and nonsensical program every now and then! But I was hoping that after the
boost they received by appearing in the Daily Show, the quality of the programming
(at least the funny bids) would ascend as oppose to this drastic descend that
we’ve been witnessing week after week, for the past few months!

I truly wish & hope
that they take your genuine advice (which again, is an opinion shared by any of
us)  and become a bit more innovative in
their approach to both, the comedy as well as the serious aspects of this show
which is supposedly an Iranian version of the Daily Show! Or better yet, learn
from their guru, John Stewart by watching his techniques and how he maintains
the wittiness of the show by balancing the humoristic approach to most dry
political facts and keeps things in perspectives. I think that would be a very welcomed
change and of course would transform this show that is so desperately needed by
the Iranian youth (in that deprived of everything country) into a program with
a purpose, intelligent coverage of the news, commentaries, jokes and funny
bids!

Do you hear this gentlemen  Hosseini & Arbabi??

Behnoud like Celine is so infatuated with the "Beauty" of Words

that he Forget's or prefers to ignore the significance of what he says or hears as when he interviewed this Eminent Gentleman ...

Ebrahim Golestan: "The Shah's Coronation Made Me Wanna Vomit" (BBC)

And then in the rest of this interview he claims that everyone loves Iran and puts everyone and everything on the same level of importance in history ranging from The Shah to Mossadegh to Khomeiny to Khamenei without ever putting into the balance their contributions or actions good or bad in perspective.

This type of mentality is probably far more condemnable coming out of the mouth of a man of quality like Massoud Behnoud who is anything but stupid.

It contributes to Banalizing History in the same way Neo Nazis claim Hitler was not so bad or that the Holocaust did not exist:

Banalization of history By DK

HOLOCAUST A MYTH: Michelle Renouf on Iranian SAHAR TV 

Claiming he does not believe in Revolution or is against Violence is just another of those political correct clichés to avoid personal accountability and genuinely standing for what he believes in ( or does not believe in).

It's SO CONVENIENT to SURF IN BETWEEN ! 

Even when he mentions an example of his female Journalist students who had a hard time to remain objective when reporting on a criminal affair, the example is totally misleading for the case mentioned was not one of Political Consciousness but Moral Consciousness.

Again Behnoud just loves playing with words and semantics often drawing irrelevant parallels where there should be none ... 

From that Point of View I have more respect for someone like Ahmadinejad or Khamenei than I have for this gentleman or his reformist like minds. 

If one is genuinely against revolution then you cannot  at the same time defend the Republic's legitimacy born from that upheaval.

One cannot escape intellectual accountability eternally :

pictory: Bakhtiar Denounces Bazargan's Provisionary Government in exile (1979) 

When Behnood say's he is against revolution he is actually using double standards very much like Maziar Bahari and others likeminds. He wants to imply he did not want this outcome or the establishment of the IRI but on the otherhand he claims that now that it's here we should accept the status quo and go along as if nothing ever happened.

In otherwords On one hand he wants to say that he is against violence ( i.e: Violent upheavals) on the otherhand he wants to say that he is against regime change (i.e: maintaining the status quo and carry on with hopes of reform from within despite the violence the regime itself exercises on the people).

Otherwise sure who in the world likes Violence or Bloodshed ? But should that be an excuse for a Journalist, let alone a citizen to be neutral ? I think Not !

Claiming to be against "Revolution" is actually a perverted way of saying that he actually is against Regime change which in ideological terms would be a "Counter Revolution".

In short in his view the Revolution ( which he claims he was against) but more importantly the Republic which was born from it's womb are Legitimate after all. 

Also Claiming that a Journalist should be Objective is not the same as claiming he should be Opinionless ...

Why isn't he shocked by the way this Republlc greeted the Assassin of Iran's former Regime's Last Prime Minister then ?

Ali Vakili Rad "Strangled" Shapour Bakhtiar

Being silent in the face of injustice is as Violent as the Violence this gentleman claims to abhor. It's just one of those Political correct responses the IRI reformists have become experts in.

Mr. Behnood claims in disguise to be apolitical but the fact is he isn't.

In many ways he reminds me of those Brilliant writers and Intellectuals like Louis-Ferdinand Céline during France's VICHY era who sold their soul in the name of a so called Intellectual Integrity but in the end turned a blind eye on all the hypocrisy, crimes and contradictions of their time and intellectually at least were partners of the tragic comic outcome of the monsterous regime whose legitimacy they do not wish to question and wish to make us believe is still reformable.

Sorry Mr. Behnoud But WORDS DO MATTER Not for their BEAUTY but their SIGNIFICANCE !

Another great program.  No

Another great program.  No wonder so many young Iranians love the program.  In this program, I liked the statement about Larijani brothers. Keep up good work, and god bless you.

موقعش رسیده

موقعش رسیده که این دوتا هم دکانشان را تخته کنند و بروند دنبال یک کار بدرد بخور.  در بیمزه گی و سرو صدای گوشخراش دیگر حدی برایشان نمانده و هر بار این لوس بازی ها تکرار میشود. پیشنهاد من اینست که اگر نمیتوانید برنامه را آنطور که امید دارند فکاهی کنند، بجایش سعی کنند یک برنامه جدی ارائه دهند. باید این سبک تکراری را قطع کنید و یک چیز نوینی خلق کنید

نکته جالب اینه که وقتی آقای بهنود

نکته جالب اینه که وقتی آقای بهنود میخواهد مردم را «تشویق» به رای دادن کنند انگار نه انگار که در لندن تشریف دارند ولی هنگامی که راجع به شرکت نکردن در انتخابات از ایشان سوال می شود ایشان یادشان می افتد در خارج از ایران هستند
