CNN still using the same photo of Iran's "nuclear plant" from a year ago
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 09:48 AM by Newsjock
As of this writing, this is the photo at the top of CNN's home page:


You may recall that, almost exactly a year ago, CNN got caught using the exact same photo and trying to pass it off as an alleged North Korean nuclear facility. Brad Blog had the details:

Two stories posted in the last week on the CNN website, one on nukes in Iran last Wednesday, and another on nukes in North Korea on Saturday, both use the same aerial photograph of the same purported nuclear power plant!

... CNN has added the following text to the Korea story:
CORRECTION
An earlier version of this article included an image that was incorrectly identified as an aerial photograph of North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear plant. The photo was actually a commercial satellite photo of a nuclear facility near Natanz, Iran.


So, the questions to ask today:

-- There isn't any "photo" more recent than one that was used a year ago? Why not?
-- And since CNN wasn't too sure where this "photo" really was taken a year ago, why should we believe them now?

1. Do you hate America?
We should never question the alleged threat of a country that has a strategic point in our ME domination plan.
