Iran blocking foreign media from Reuters - Apparently Iran State TV is the only channel allowed to broadcast, and they are only reporting the pro-Ahmadinejad side of things.

Ahmadinejad is in Russia for a summit today, though. Conveniently enough.

Will edit as I find more, I'm sure.

Edit: New York Times article on use of Twitter in spreading Iranian news when all other sources are blocked (cell phones, texting, instant messaging, broadcasts, phone taps, etc)

Wall Street Journal on the recounting of SOME votes in Iran. Because counting is the only way to falsify an election. Right.

But Mousavi and other opposition leaders have rejected that offer.
