    In case you’re wondering what kind of coverage the stuff going on in Iran has been getting on Japanese TV, here’s a clip from a FTV morning news show (June 18th):


    Iran wasn’t mentioned until nearly an hour into the broadcast. When it was, it got about 7 and a half minutes of coverage, with the announcer explaining a lot of what has been going on. The blocking of e-mail and internet sites was briefly mentioned, but there was no mention of just how incredibly important a tool it has been. Nobody mentioned Twitter.
