Journalism 007: Separating Fact From Fiction With The Dubai Hit

Comments   0

Via Tom Gross Media:

We all know that journalists (including some at highly-regarded newspapers) often makes things up, but rarely have we witnessed such a mix of misinformation, disinformation and innuendo passed off as fact, as we have in recent days in the reports dealing with the death of Hamas terrorist Mahmoud Mabhouh. (Some of this admittedly can be attributed to the complete failure of the Israeli government – whether or not Israel had anything to do with the matter – to provide an effective response to the media.)

This stands out from the piece: “Mabhouh had five different passports with him in Dubai: there seems to be no media coverage or interest in which countries’ passports he was using.” — Greg Pollowitz
