The tweets, the facebook updates, the youtube clips are all unanimous:
The election was a fraud, the opposition won.
However a critical analysis can determine that if every message in electronic media supports the opposition, then that must mean that the majority of people who own a computer support the opposition.
And claiming that the opposition has an overwhelming support based on all the reports from people who own computers in Iran is something that dosn't add up.
The economist listed in 2006, the top 50 nations with the most personal computer market per capita. This list cut off at about 12 computers per 100 people in Russia. Iran isn't on the top 50, so it is at most about one computer per 10 people.
So basically all the reporting we are getting is from Iran is from a specific computer owning elite minority group which is about one/tenth of the population of Iran. And in a democracy, one tenth of the population is not the majority.
Another thing dosn't add up in Iran:
I saw video recently of hundreds of thousands of people in an opposition supporting protest in Iran chanting "Allah Ackbar." Now I have heard from the pro-opposition side constantly saying they want a more secular government in Iran. How does this add up to the video of the "Allah Ackbar" chanting protests?
I am in the minority opinion on this one in the west, but I don't see the opposition view in Iran being the majority as it is claimed.
