AP Pulls Iran Nukes Story After Antiwar.com Exposé
Antiwar.com Eric Garris, February 09, 2010
Associated Press issued a story yesterday (Monday) entitled “Iran moves closer to nuke warhead capacity.” It was full of inaccurate and misleading information implying that Iran had admitted trying to enrich weapons-grade nuclear material. The story appeared on a wide variety of media.
Last night, Antiwar.com news editor Jason Ditz issued a story refuting the AP story.
This morning, Associated Press recalled the story without explanation and replaced it with another, much less inflamatory story written by a different author.
It is important to question the mainstream media and not let them get away with helping the warmongers with their agenda.
Cyrus,
Much the same, the BBC Radio-4 which is a political and current affairs station has decided to name the Iranian nuclear program, the Iranian weapon program. The usage of this term is becoming more widely used by the mainstream media and I 100% agree with you when you say we should counter against the media who make such warmongering and inflammatory remarks.
