Title: Guardian article mocks AP's "evidence" of Iran's nuclear weapons program
Post by: Brazen on November 30, 2012, 11:39:07 AM
QuoteUncritical, fear-mongering media propaganda is far too common to take note of each time it appears, but sometimes, what is produced is so ludicrous that its illustrative value should not be ignored. Such is the case with a highly trumpeted Associated Press "exclusive" from Tuesday which claims in its red headline to have discovered evidence of "Iran Working on Bomb".

What is this newly discovered, scary evidence? It is a "graph" which AP says was "leaked" to it by "officials from a country critical of Iran's atomic program to bolster their arguments that Iran's nuclear program must be halted before it produces a weapon" (how mysterious: the globe is gripped with befuddlement as it tries to guess which country that might be). Here's how AP presents the graph in all its incriminating, frightening glory:

I didn't post the article he wrote about it yesterday - which was all about it being a hoax and terrible - as it was pretty histrionic.

I find Civil Liberty people dreamy :wub:

And he is one of the good lefties, he slams the Democrats all the time.  I don't always agree with him and often he gets carried away but what was it Goldwater said?  Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice? :P
