Tehran -- Iran's state broadcaster launched a 24-hour English-language news channel yesterday in a bid to break what it called the "stranglehold" of the West over the world's media.
The Tehran-based Press TV is promising the usual diet of twice-hourly news bulletins, talk shows and documentaries, but with a distinctly Iranian spin.
"There are few media which rightly fulfill their responsibilities," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at the opening ceremony. "The media are used by the domineering powers to occupy lands and people's hearts," he said.
