What's going on in Iran and where is accuracy and truth to be found?
One surely loses credibility with newspapers and journalists when one observes wholesale plagiarism taking place. Stories appear in one newspaper under one person's name and in another newspaper under someone else's name.
The account of the death of Neda Soltani is reported in at least two newspapers where sections of the story are word for word in both newspapers. The stories are written by two different journalists.
There is a story in yesterday's Herald.am about a Kavanagh bus going on fire on the M50.
The report says 63 people were on the bus. A Kavanagh spokesman says there were between 50 and 53 people on board the Failte Ireland-approved 53-seater bus. And not a word about the discrepancy.
A parish bulletin this week recommends parishioners to buy The Irish Catholic. The writer comments that the newspaper tells the truth.
Is it all just bare-faced lies, sometimes told in a nuanced fashion?
