Topic: NewsBusters
As evidence mounts that the National Post story claiming that the Iranian parliament passed a law requiring non-Muslims in the country to wear certain insignia identifying them as such appears to be false, NewsBusters -- after writer Noel Sheppard scolded the media for not immediately repeating the story -- has yet to acknowledge this development in a post. We're closing in on 48 hours since evidence that the story is false first surfaced -- much longer than the six hours that Sheppard gave the media to pick up the original (and apparently false) story.
