Brutal

"Iranian officials stepped up efforts to crush the remaining resistance to a disputed presidential election on Wednesday, as security forces overwhelmed a small group of protesters with brutal beatings, tear gas and gunshots in the air." Notice that when Western media approve of certain demonstrations or movements, they allow themselves to insert editorial labels and comments into the text of the article itself. I mean, the New York Times would never describe regular Israeli shooting at demonstrators as brutal. What gives?
