How Lies Become News

From Islamophobia Watch:

Canada's National Post ran a false claiming that Iran was planning to oblige non-Muslims to wear badges to indicate their ethnicity so that they could be distinguished in public. Richard Seymour exposes the role of Amir Taheri of Benador Associates in propagating this lie.

See how this story was spread despite even a Jewish MP in the Iranian parliament rejecting it as a lie.

Shocking. I remember in a documentary about 9/11 Alex Jones gave numerous examples of news reports that had been "re-cycled", i.e. the 'terrorist attacks' had infact taken place, but almost decades ago! This was just to hype up and legitimise the 'we are under attack and must respond firmly' plan.

Thanks
wassalaam.
