Abstract
The paper is a discursive analysis on news section of 20:30 of IRIB TV news and newsroom of Chanel Manoto. The findings showed that the news program 20:30 introduced Iranian as an informed people with High political intelligence who identify and quickly respond to any divisions, as well as attributing disturbances and protests to foreigners and enemies, during the events of 2018 January. Because they characterized by unity, trust and empathy while confronting with problems. But the newsroom of Manoto tried to undermine the discourse of freedom in the country with some titles like freedom, human rights, liberalism, lack of transparency and corruption in the Iranian legal system in the case of death of Kavous Seyed-Emami. Also based on its images of Iranian, people are constantly finding solutions to the internal crisis and need humanitarian assistance. In the discourse of the newsroom, the core signifier including suspicion of the death of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani with other discursive elements such as Internal disputes to achieve power, the lack of unity among the leaders, Hashemi's isolation and removing Hashemi, articulated and highlighted. According to the discourse of the newsroom, the foundations of the Islamic Republic are shaky and the country is severely isolated in the regional and international arena.
