Rereading a media campaign Fars news

According to the film reporter of Fars News Agency, in the past months, there has been an internal disagreement among the cultural activists of the country regarding whether the supervision of the comprehensive content of face and image should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance or the National Broadcasting Company. Finally, in this regard, last week, a resolution was announced by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, in which the regulation, licensing and supervision of the “Home Show” and “Online Broadcast” networks were entrusted to the executive arm of the National Media, Satra.

This issue became an excuse for the Farsi-speaking media and some fringe figures living in the country to incite various fringes. Therefore, they shouted in unison that; The home show network is going to be closed. While Khoshan knew that this is not the whole truth and that Satra is not an emerging phenomenon to shut down the home show, but a well-known institution that has been actively monitoring, issuing licenses and regulating in this sector for many years. They spread the news as if Satra is newly established and has come to destroy the home show, whereas in the last two or three years this regulatory body has helped a lot in the quantitative and qualitative growth of the home show network.

Who are the critics?

As mentioned, the critics fall into two categories, those who try to consider the issues related to regulation with compassion and concern, whose voices should be heard and their concerns answered. For example, a few days ago, a critic wrote about the regulation of the home show: “It is clear that the monitoring mechanism of the home show network is different from the monitoring of educational media programs such as television due to its characteristics from production to distribution. One of the basic questions that the audience and the producers of the home show network have from the TV regulatory network is whether they consider this difference in monitoring the content of the works or not? If this regulatory body is indecisive and confused in understanding its regulatory framework, it cannot make a firm and accurate decision in situations, and regulatory preferences will dominate the flow.

The second category is the hostile media and some domestic media that reflect the same ideas of the biased western media without reasoning and logic. Those who, during these few days, have directed their artillery of lies towards the approval of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution and theater regulation, are pursuing a clear goal that was revealed earlier. Re-reading this media campaign against the resolution of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution and Satra can reveal more precisely the background of the Machiavellian approach and theories of the enemy.

According to Hossein Bahrami, a media expert; “There is no problem with criticism as long as it does not lead to insult or breaking the law. However, two points have been accepted regarding the family of image activists: first, the principle of the need for supervision and regulation, and second, that a non-private institution (Arshad, Sed and Cima, or any other governmental institution) should be in charge of this position. The problem arose from the fact that a number of internal ill-wishers and lawbreakers, on the one hand, and foreign enemies, entered into this intra-family disagreement and tried to make it look like an enemy and set fire to it with false polarization of supervision or release.

* Machiavellian ethics

This behavior by the enemies of the regime and their supported state media is not surprising! It is rooted in the history and thinker of the history of their political thought: Nicola Machiavelli.

Machiavelli writes in the sixth book of the Art of War:A commander should try to defeat the enemy forces with every action” Machiavelli further advises that this should be done by making the forces of a front that trust each other suspicious, or by giving reasons to separate the forces so that they become weaker and more permeable.

It is true that Machiavelli wrote these sentences about military war, but we know very well that today, more than anything else, war is a soft war, and at the top of the battle is the media based on narratives. What we have seen in these few days.

Ma’and media, which not long ago called any artist who worked in the country and under the umbrella of the law “government artists” and even brought the work to the national sports team and finally in a heinous act called the brave border guards who were martyred as border guards of the Islamic Republic, suddenly worried about the show network. Home, which until yesterday they called it as a security project, became!

False polarization between the national football team and the people

Read these headlines:

Dariush Memar Independent Farsi: “The beginning of the fall of the home network in Iran; Sedavasima came to the field with a sharpened blade.

The news is a lie from the beginning to the end. The author, who until yesterday was known as a mediocre and even weak poet, now, in the role of a reporter, has confused the headline of the news with a poem. A: Which fall? We all know that many serials are currently being aired on the home television network and dozens of serials have been licensed for production. Second: Satra, which is the executive arm of radio and television in terms of regulation, unlike the emerging awards of Western festivals (Grammy, Cannes, etc.), is not a creation of the past and has been monitoring and regulating for years. Third: The headline clearly shows why we call these media enemies, isn’t it the gladiator’s battlefield where someone comes to the field with a sharpened blade to kill another? The purpose of the reporter, news and media is only to create conflict and beat the drum of division.

It is enough to take a look at Satra’s activities to reveal their lies more than before. During the last two or three years, the monopoly of some home television networks has been broken to some extent, and the number of platforms has reached more than 380 inclusive audio and video media (only in the last 2 months, 40 media have been licensed by the same regulatory body (Satra)) On the other hand, in recent months, 256 platforms and media have received and used support packages from Satra.

As it was said, this field (surrounding sound and image) is a new space that needs precise technical structures, and undoubtedly Satra must constantly update itself and listen to the voices of sympathetic critics to improve the quality of its activities. But the purpose of the media is not to criticize for improvement, but to blow on the chaos and create an atmosphere of despair and insecurity and create a social divide. They have used this issue as a news event but as a “phenomenon” to advance their political goals, otherwise it is obvious that they neither care about culture nor people.

To make the matter clearer, let’s look at another headline from Ma’and media: “Continuing the controversy of monitoring the home show; The Association of Cinema Directors also warned.”

Pay attention to the arrangement of words: Continuation of controversy? Which controversies and continuations showed a trade union protest as a controversy and called it continuation. And at the end, a warning! They made a professional and legal institution like the cinema house appear in the position of a political-military group that warns.

All over the world, trade unions are active and can comment on various issues, and it is their duty to seek their trade union rights.

*Aim: multiple factions and division

Let’s go back to Machiavelli’s words for a better understanding. Machiavelli says:With every action, try to capture the enemy forces.Westerners consider Islamic Iran as an enemy of their self-made world order, they will not give up after any attempt to create a few factions among us.

Machiavelli further advises that “This action should be done either by suspecting the forces of one front who trust each other“, a look at the opposing media shows how meticulously they are implementing their strategy: they try to make the artistic forces of the country who trust each other distrust each other and pit them against each other.

16th century political thinker Machiavelli says:It is necessary to separate the forces by giving a reason so that they become weaker and penetrable“; This exact theoretical and theoretical basis is the same effort that the media have been making for a long time in order to separate the artists of “cinema” and “home theater” from the artists of “Sada and Sima” under the title of governmental and non-governmental artists.

These are just some simple examples of the efforts made by the enemy of the Islamic Republic using soft war tools to confront the Iranian nation.

This report was a short reference to the efforts of the opponents in the direction of dividing the family of art and culture in Iran to show how in the past few days all the Western propaganda apparatuses have united to spread division in order to weaken one of the most important fields of the country with polarization.Culture and Art” pay
