PressTV: You couldn’t make it up

PressTV picked up on Peter Tatchell’s complaint that royals from repressive countries had been invited to William and Kate’s wedding.

A lead story on the “news” network headlined ‘British royals hosted world’s despots’ began:

British royals hosted world’s autocrats, who have long been implicated in acts of repressive violence and crushing popular revolts, at the royal wedding.

Senior figures from the regimes of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Swaziland as well as other despots with recent acts of violence against their own people on their hands attended the UK royal wedding on Friday.

PressTV do know they’re owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran, don’t they?
