Another Iraq?
“Greg Mitchell, who edited Editor & Publisher magazine during the run-up to war [in 2002], said, ‘many mainstream media outlets have repeated mistakes of 10 years ago in quickly trumpeting claims of fresh findings of the Iranian nuclear threat.’. . .”
“The Washington Post’s Walter Pincus, whose more skeptical coverage often ran in the back of the paper a decade ago, said he’s concerned that reporters ‘fall so much in love with quoting people that we don’t analyze what it is they’re saying.’”
—Michael Calderone, reporter, “Iraq War Media Failure Can Happen Again,” Huffington Post, March 19, 2013
