Recently the cover of The National Post featured a story about Iran that now appears to be utterly groundless. CBS had the option to run with it but declined:
CBS News Radio has also decided against running the story, according to Exective Producer Charlie Kaye. "There are too many red flags here," he says. "The best we can determine is this has originated with Iranian dissidents in Canada."
The people at CanWest would be well advised to familiarize themselves with words of Machiavelli. Remember that the peson who listens to exiles will "gain nothing by it but shame and serious injury". Oops. Could this be a shark jumping moment for the Post?

From Canadian Cynic:
Hey, here's an idea. Let's make a
note of any other blogs that jump all over this story, and check back
later if the story doesn't happen to pan out. Just for the
entertainment value.
One.
Two.
Three. (With some pretty lame qualification.)
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
