…and no one really notices.
Because guys like Andrew Sullivan are providing all the coverage one needs from Providence, RI, as thousands of bloggers report from Iran.
The images, the reports and the video are all getting to the outside world without elite media boots on the ground.
Michael Totten is there, blogging through the protests. CNN is not.
The Iranian government is doing whatever they can to stop the marches and the outpouring of online information, but young men and women in the tech profession in Silicon Valley, and across the country, are helping people they have never met fight for the liberal movement in Iran. Even the Iranian football team is showing solidarity.
For more, Nico Pittney is live-blogging what’s going on, Twitter is going nuts, and The Big Picture takes you into the action with some of the most amazing and troubling pictures from Tehran.
Imagine if Tiananmen Square happened in 2009. Could a world-wide liberal revolution be coming?

The Big Picture is excellent. I forwarded it to an Iranian friend.
