So what's the deal with the fake news coming out of Iran? We all heard these reports that Jews were being made to wear yellow badges. Turns out -- not true. And we get all these misquotations of Iranian leaders, especially regarding their intentions towards Israel. Clearly, the media is willing to believe the worst about Iran, and exciting nonsense that makes a good story gets lots of play before anybody checks up on it.
I'm curious about where the yellow badge stuff is coming from. Exile groups? Neocon propagandists? If I were into the conspiracy theory thing, I might theorize that media executives are interested in touching off a big war that will get everybody buying papers and watching TV. That's a bit too tinfoil for me, but seriously, what's going on here?
