...impune the credibility of PressTV simply by claiming it to be a "shill for the Iranian Regime," what would you say ABC News is?

How 'bout CBS News, or NBC? What about the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Washington Post? Are these not ALL stateside corporate owned media shills for the US and other Western regimes.

Could I not claim, with all the same validity you do, that each of these media organizations is an unworthy source, making the same specious non-argument?
