MSI,

2) Iran was a peaceful and free country with wide open press

It is important to note that the propaganda writers at MI6, Britain's equivalent of our CIA, were very happy with the situation in the Iranian press during the plotting to eliminate Mossadeq.

The British had a direct line to 4/5 of the newspapers, according to some knowledgeable observers.

What is incontrovertible is that anti-Mossadeq editorials that were written in London by British editorialists would be inserted into Tehran newspapers within 24 hours of their creation, and distributed as though they originated in Iranian intelligentsia.

Control of the media is a key element of controlling the population. Today, it is no different.
