Today’s take-home exercise:

1] Write demonstrably false article claiming Iran is imitating Nazi Germany.

2] Continue to hype article and sell it to other papers, even after it has been proven false.

3] Get invited to the White House as an expert on Iraq, of all things.

Don’t feel bad if you can’t pull it off on the first try. There’s lots of competition… including some people who have made a career out of these sorts of Big Lies.
