Tehran's summit "promises to be" an anti-American "festival." Iran intends to defend its sovereign rights. They include its peaceful nuclear program and call for a non-nuclear Middle East.
Post editors say that's hostile. They also repeated earlier long ago discredited canards. Truth takes a back seat to propaganda. Beating up on nations Washington wants isolated, ravaged and plundered is policy.
Ban "will be forced to endure public lectures from the Iranian leaders about their right to enrich uranium and" anti-Israeli rants."By attending the Tehran conference, Mr. Ban will dignify a bacchanal of nonsense, undermine the work of the Security Council and probably get nothing in return."
Post editors give readers reason to boycott the broadsheet and denounce its shameless commentaries. They long ago wore thin. They almost make earlier yellow journalism look respectable.
