#1 He accused Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of espousing an "apocalyptic philosophy" and making "threatening noises about Israel and the US and others".

That's a statement of fact - a matter of public record - not an accusation.

...he had no doubt Iran was striving to enrich uranium to the point where they could make nuclear weapons.

Now, that's an accusation since the evidence isn't part of the public record.

I know Rantburgers don't need to be reminded of this, but it's one of my pet peeves with the MSM (along with the misuse of alleged): if they can't even use the language correctly why should we believe any of their assertions?

Let's just say that if they told me the sky is blue, I'd look out the window before accepting it - then I'd wonder why they're telling me and what they're not telling me.
