Here’s an amazing article, the NYT is decrying the compromise of journalism in covering news from Iran:


Journalism Rules Are Bent in News Coverage From Iran

“Check the source” may be the first rule of journalism. But in the coverage of the protests in Iran this month, some news organizations have adopted a different stance: publish first, ask questions later. If you still don’t know the answer, ask your readers.

Iran? Iran! Iran!?

How about first trying to develop some journalistic integrity on reporting news from Washington?

All you people do is put in a cheerleaders outfit and shake pom-pons for the Messiah. Try looking in the mirror first.
