ABC: http://abcnews.go.com/International/diplomatic-relations-change-iran-nuke-deal-john-kerry/story?id=32536558 (quite short I wonder if they cut it to make room for the obviously more important Trump story)

CBS: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-transcripts-july-19-2015-kerry-moniz-netanyahu/ (This was the best I saw - one really good think was the dynamic of Kerry and Moniz, where Kerry speaking of nuclear experts seemlessly provided Moniz's credientials. This gave the comments of the pleasant, soft spoken Moniz the weight they deserved.)

NBC: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/iran-nuclear-talks/prime-minister-cameron-iran-deal-better-alternative-n394661 (Chuck Todd is Chuck Todd - what more can be said)

CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/19/politics/john-kerry-iran-deal-congress/ (I didn't watch it yet)

(I didn't watch it.)

General comment -- This is a big deal and it is getting almost NO attention on Daily Kos or DU. In fact, on both there are more comments on the hypocrisy of the Republicans blasting Trump when they condoned the swiftboating of John Kerry. This really makes me question whether to invest time here. It is rather shocking that given that AIPAC and all are asking people to call Schumer, why is there NO activism here?

One interesting thing is that I think they were filmed on Friday - only ABC asked (in a negative way) about the UN vote tomorrow - acting as if it were a big surprise. Jonathan Karl did than interview -- then there was a more softball interview by Martha Radditz of Netanyahu -- though she did get some good questions in. However, later in the round table - when asked Karl said the administration was doing a good job on getting support they needed. Interestingly, the best, most thoughtful comments were from the guy from ESPN (!) on the panel. He spoke of how the coverage in England and elsewhere was so different and more related to what it could do.

Can you spread your links and commentary in GD or another more general forum?

3. here's the video link to Face the Nation

this takes you to Kerry and Moniz interview
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/kerry-i-never-heard-anytime-anywhere-inspections-promise/

BTW, I really, really like Moniz-- and the genuine rapport between him and Kerry.

There are also links on the same website to Netanyahu interview (if you can stomach it)
and to the Talking Head commentary (on Trump and on the Itran deal)
