Danger In Reading What The New York Times Says About Iran


The article Groundhog Day: Judith Miller-Style casts serious doubts on the integrity of The New York Times for its shoddy reporting of the unsubstantiated claims that:

“Secret American intelligence assessments have concluded that Iran has obtained a cache of advanced missiles, based on a Russian design, that are much more powerful than anything Washington has publicly conceded that Tehran has in its arsenal, diplomatic cables show. Iran obtained 19 of the missiles from North Korea, according to a cable dated Feb. 24 of this year.”

The New York Times refused to let its readers know that the report was unsubstantiated or give the item the context .by which the readers could form their own opinion.

The article that casts the aspersion is on The Huffington Post which is not necessarily any safer to read than The New York Times.

Be that as it may, I want to record the links to this article for when hawkish The New York Times continues to beat the drums for war with Iran.  Maybe someone will remember the lies that led up to their call and just tell them to pipe down.
