I'd want to be more careful in putting out information about
sabotaging equipment and having it searchable on Google and under my
own name, Jeff.

Regarding local TV news, I've done several media workshops for
advocacy organizations. One of the starting exercises is to ask for a
show of hands of who watched the previous evening's 11 o'clock news.
Most progressive advocates are big news consumers so almost all hands
go up (there are always a couple who brag that they don't own TV
sets). Then the moderator asks the participants what the top stories
were. There tends to be a long silence until one person remembers
something and that will eventually jog the memory of others, but the
lesson is this: people don't retain what they watch in local TV news
and an organization who thinks it has educated the public by getting
one story on one broadcast is deluding itself.

In the context of this discussion, even if the local news or the
network news had covered the events in Iran, the viewers wouldn't have
retained it, so I don't know how much of a priority the networks
should have made it.
