Investor’s Daily Business: muddles info on Mandel, Ohio and divestment

Filed Under Business, Government, Media, Military, Ohio, Politics | 6 Comments

This time, the perpetuation of wrong intimations are in an op-ed that Investor’s Business Daily published:

Legislation to prevent investment by Ohio’s public pension funds in companies that do business with the terror-sponsoring and nuke-building mullahs in Iran has been introduced by State Reps. Shannon Jones and Joshua Mandel.

Mandel knows something about Iranian involvement in Iraq, particularly with Iran’s supplying jihadists with advanced IEDs to kill Americans. He served a combat tour there as a Marine.

That’s it. Not another word.  And the op-ed is dated September 26, 2007.

I hope no one I know and no one responsible for policy decisions anywhere else relies on op-eds like this one, from a print publication that also publishes online.  Because clearly no one did their research, or else they’d know that Ohio’s legislation was effectively derailed and placed in the roundhouse and that Rep. Mandel may in fact know more than just “something about Iranian involvement in Iraq.”

That’s what I keep saying anyway.
