๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ| The Guardian is still pushing this fake fabricated story about Iran stoning a woman to death DESPITE it's writer admitting that the entire story is fabricated.

Yet the Guardian still has the story up.

Even if they delete it, the story already did the damage it wanted. Itโ€™s picked up by multiple local outlets in countries and Iran will be once again falsely painted as gruesome.

And this is just the rare instance in which the author admits to wholesale fabrication. There are many more just as made up that will never be admitted to. And many where the author just had the entire story handed to them by intelligence agencies to publish in their name.
