In reply to the discussion: Iran's Ahmadinejad says that Israel will be 'eliminated' [View all]Ash_F
(5,861 posts)58. So are CBS's fact checkers pushing a narrative too?

"But while Reuters quoted Ahmadinejad as calling for Israel to be eliminated, the official translation of his remarks indicated that he steered clear of the fiery rhetoric he is best known for.
Reminded that he was quoted as saying several years ago that Israel should be wiped off the map, the Iranian president responded that he only wants Iran's neighbor to change its behavior. We say occupation must be done away with," he said. "We say war seeking and war mongering must be eliminated. We say threats must be eliminated. Threatening manners and ways must be eliminated. Destroying peoples homes on the head of their wives and children must be done away with and eliminated. "
If you cared about the truth of the matter, you would have noted how Reuters used a separated quote and had been immediately skeptical as I had been. So yes, YOUR narrative.
Also the right wing's narrative.

Pissing into the wind, and just about as newsworthy. Not real LBN, but OP gets to score a point.
