"BOGUS" Drudge lifts Out-of-Context Nuclear Iran Claims
Drudge, Jerusalem Post sensationalize story about nuclear Iran
RAW STORY

An article in the Jerusalem Post trumpeted by the conservative Drudge Report grossly sensationalizes the comments of Mohamed El-Baradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The piece, titled "El Baradei: Iran only months away from a bomb," takes a comment Baradei made to the British newspaper The Independent completely out of context.

2. Ah, the Jerusalem Post, that explains it
The newpaper formerly owned by Conrad Black. Good to see the editorial stance (deception and sensationalism) hasn't changed.

4. I remember when they discovered the aluminum tubes.
drudge's headline: "Found 'Em".

That's not reporting news. That's being a cheerleader.
