YELLOW JOURNALISM IS USED TO START WARS -- SOMETIMES YOU ARE CAUGHT IN A LIE AND YOU HAVE TO ISSUE A RETRACTION !!




THE NATIONAL POST RETRACTS THIS STORY WHICH IT PRINTED THIS MORNING WHICH THEY SAY ORIGINATED WITH THE SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTRE.

This photo of the yellow badge was printed with the "sincere" retraction

The story was then picked up by the Jerusalem Post and then very quickly appeared in places like this.

The National Post is owned by Conrad Black. When it comes to right-wing media moguls, Conrad Black is second only to Rupert Murdoch. Black’s Hollinger Corp. is one of the world’s largest media empires.

Black, who became a member of the British House of Lords in 2001, is closely associated with a number of influential neoconservative figures and right-wing think tanks. He is a close associate of Richard Perle, who serves on Hollinger’s board, and is on the board of trustees of the Hudson Institute and the Nixon Center.

This is how you start a war when you are selling newspapers to a population too gullible and uneducated about the world they live in.
