Depends on what you mean by supporting Iran. I do not support Ahmedinijhad whatsoever but I do believe the US media is demonizing him to garner support for a possible war. It seems like the powers that be have their hearts set on attacking Iran, something that I don't want to see because it would be a disaster of epic proportions for all sorts of people around the world. So I do not trust what the US media tells us because well, they have lied to the public repeatedly, from WMD's in Iraq to the economy.
Uhhh, the funny thing is, no matter who attacks Iran the US would suffer the consequences... BIG TIME.
Iran has said they would shut down oil flow throughout the region, especially through the Strait of Hormuz, if they were attacked. Crude oil would immediately spike in price and who the hell knows what the limit would be. $100/barrel, $150/barrel, depends on how much damage is done and the scale of the attacks. We are talking about 2 million barrels of crude DAILY from this region that might not reach its destination, or it could also be destroyed by the Iranian military.
Such oil prices would send the US economy into free fall mode. You don't want to see that.
Not to mention the probable retaliatory attacks by groups like Hezbollah and Iranian factions ready to strike whenever the first attacks on the motherland occur. If you think that just because we didn't pull the trigger means we're safe you're not thinking through this clearly.

I'm not defending it, I'm defining it.
You said the media, which is a pretty broad section of business, lies to people, lying states intent to report something falsely. In your example it is not lying.
If I have 40 minutes of taped conversation with you where I ask you 30 questions but only 3 minutes are aired, that's not lying, it's fact, just not all the facts.

But shows like 60 minutes try hard to make every interview as interesting and controversial as possible. If they show that portion than he looks less radical and crazy than most of their viewers are expecting and therefore less interesting. There is no doubt that he has been demonized by some but 60 minutes isn't a great example. I doubt that they are motivated by any real desire to discredit him, just that they figure having on some lunatic holocaust denier will draw more viewers. Our government has motive to demonize him but why would the media?
