Media plays a major role in shaping public opinion. It may foment revolution in a country, and causes destruction in a country. Since post 9/11 George Bush adopted foreign policy of regime change and targeted the Islamic Republic of Iran as an axis of evil. The US administration allocated substantial amount of funds toward media outlets to cause unrest in Iran. However, the US policy was not about regime change in Iran, it was meant to shake the regime in Iran.
Iranians in Iran began to watch Western programs and Iranian expatriation in the West began to formulate television programs that gear toward Iranians in Iran and declare the regime in Iran to be bankrupt from legitimacy and consent of people to govern. However, these media outlets did not have any essence to do anything serious against the regime in Iran. Nowadays, the market for regime change is slow and the above media outlets are not charging forward anymore against the regime in Iran.
The regime in Iran has quality of a totalitarian regime. As Hannah Arendt defined totalitarian regime as a system that it controls every facade of society by imposing laws to legitimacy its brutality against people.
The Islamic Republic of Iran does not tolerate and subordination in any shape or form. Anyone censure the regime in any shape or form would be found accused and convicted as anti - revolutionary.
Recently, the Islamic Republic of Iran is developing television programs which are comedy to take public tension away. Furthermore, the regime is using television programs to censure itself.
One of the film is Year 1500 (2121) Tehran by Mehran Moridi that explains everything in Iran would be same. High inflation rate, moral police officers are patrolling streets and imposing Islamic laws. There would not be any changes. In a sitcom 'Made a Joke' or 'Shoukhi Kardim', there is high charge materials against the regime in Iran for doing negligence toward public goods.
Khomeini HENDI was a staunch supporter of abolishing music in Iran. The Revolutionary Guards would patrol every corner of streets and would be witch hunting anyone listening to musics. Now, the regime in Iran is playing lively music.
As a result, it can be said that one more time the regime in Iran knows how to manipulate public media in order to prolong itself in Iran.
