AP's dangerous Iran hoax demands an accounting and explanation

[Locutus]

Evidence proves that the graph trumpeted by AP as evidence of Iran's nuclear weapons program is an obvious sham

It's important to return to the story about AP's nuclear Iran "exclusive" which I wrote about yesterday. Although it was intuitively obvious that the graph trumpeted by AP as scary and incriminating of Iran's nuclear program was actually a farce, there is now new, overwhelming, very compelling scientific evidence that is the case. Whether as victim or recklessly culpable participant, AP helped perpetrate a dangerous hoax, and owes an explanation and accounting for what took place, including identifying the "officials from a country critical of Iran's atomic program" who made false claims about what this is.

To begin with, the graph AP touted as reflecting some sort of nefarious, highly threatening and complex nuclear calculation is, in fact, widely available all over the Internet in the most innocuous places. Just consider this side-by-side comparison of the AP graph on the left, with the graph on the right on this harmless site designed to teach beginner users how to use Microsoft Excel:

It's a good example of the drivel offered by the MSM and should result in jail time at least. I wonder who owns AP?

Want to bet nobody gets fired or has to resign?

It's already just a silly mistake.

I didn't post anything about that news man getting canned for leaking the pedophile info in our motherland, rather than it being yours, perhaps that is why you missed it.

"LONDON — The BBC's top executive resigned Saturday night after the prestigious broadcaster's marquee news magazine wrongly implicated a British politician in a child sex-abuse scandal,"

The actual article is less important that the fact you never had it cross your 'desk' before as it is already 'old news' that isn't even on the back pages. Please do try and keep up if you are going to keep a running evaluation based on what you know and what others don't. In some places you still look both ways on a street signed as being one way only.

Good advice, you should heed it.

Do I hear the beating of the war drums? Perhaps people should be liable for their misinformation. Maybe like Greenwald suggests they should divulge at the very least what country the official who gave them the misinformation was from.

You will no doubt recall the Rhawandin journalist recently charged and convicted for inciting war crimes. That is the place to start I believe.
