Television and Internet are not 'sources' but 'media'. 'People' and 'Books' can be sources too, but those descriptors say nothing about the rigor, or objectivity of the information presented. The phenomenon wherein curious minds jump onto new media to inform themselves is understandable, and it's probably natural for there to be charlatans jumping in to take advantage. I see the best approach to this new information as for those of us to know better to push back against the charlatans and expose their agendas.

100% agree with this sentiment and that doesn’t mean support for the mullah regime.

Voting requires a level of life experience and maturity that teenagers have not had the opportunity to acquire. I'm not certain people under 25 have either. Once you grant the vote, it is very difficult to go back if it is a mistake.
