Correction: Iran armband story retracted

In keeping with my criticisms of mainstream media outlets for burying important corrections, it's only fair that I not fall into the same trap.

Last Saturday, I wrote an essay which reference a report from Canada's right-wing National Post. The Post claimed that Iran's parliament was about to pass a law that would've required religious minorities to wear distinctive clothing, a la the Nazis.

The Post has reportedly retracted the story.

The National Post is a National Embarrassment! But now we have our right-wing PM Stephen Harper dissing the press for having a "bias" against him. I guess they won't roll over like the US media did for Bush. Yay journalism!
