There is an interesting article in the New York Times today on the Iranian nuclear weapons crisis. It doesn’t really report anything new, but it is a very oblique critique of the way the media has handled information about the crisis. It deliberately compares the run-up to the Iraq war to the news flow about a possible war with Iran. The article suggests that the Times took seriously the criticism it received about its coverage prior to the Iraq war and is aware that it has already committed some of the same mistakes in its coverage of Iran. Such self-awareness is rare in the American media. Whether it makes a long run difference remains to be seen. Let’s hope so.
