We write you to protest the poor quality of guest analysts in your coverage of the recent events in Iran.

Individuals such as Reva Bhalla and Kaveh Afrasiabi consistently present themselves as biased, subjective and poorly informed, undermining the high standard of journalism we have come to expect from CNN.

Whether it's dismissing the unpopularity of the regime, downplaying the horrific nature of the government's crackdown, or branding the demonstrators as representatives of a limited social cross-section, many of the views put forth by these guests are misleading and contrary to evidence.

It would be a service to both CNN and the voiceless people of Iran if care were taken to incorporate more objective and credible analysis in your coverage.

    • What makes Reva Bhalla a terrorism expert? Her ignorance or the half a ton make up she was wearing?

    • Unfortunately some of the commentators are extremely ignorant, on the other hand, today they fully covered the news about Iran, they left out the big news; Mousavi's 5th statement to Iranian people!

    • While innocent protesters die at the hands of the regime, and CNN and other networks are banned from taking footage, CNN is helping the murderous regime of Iran by its type of reporting.
