Washington Post, NY Times continue the anti-Iran propaganda line

Update on my last post pointing out the US media's overt lying about the latest IAEA report on Iran:

A commentator points out that the Malaysian news agency Bernama has thus far the fairest account of the IAEA report, while both the NY Times and the Washington Post have editorials today  repeating the same lies and attacking the IAEA. They both for example claim that Iran has "blocked inspections" without mentioning that according to the IAEA report itself, these were "transparency visits" that Iran was not legally required to permit but Iran had otherwise allowed all the required inspections. The Washington Post claims that Iran installed centrifuges without providing the "required notification" (nevermind that the notificiation was not in fact required, according to the report itself.) The NY Times tries to make a big deal out of alleged involvment of Iranian defense industry involvement (as if defense contractors such as GE or Lockheed in the US aren't similarly involved in civilian industries too.)

Sort of sad when you have to go to Malaysia to get the truth.
