Yeah, you're totally right about the need to keep oppressed people somehow connected with the rest of the world. I watched some of the segments on the Daily show, they were truly amazing, they interviewed the right guys (well, real reformers, who are now in prison -as opposed to e.g. Mussawi...), got into private homes and talked to the people in the street. You would have never imagined that in this country would be such an obvious election fraud and violent street bashings by the police etc. That coverage (and the fact that they stayed in touch with the rest of the world via youtube and twitter) also gave me hope that the Iranians will be willing to get rid of that ugly system.
