The Iran Echo Chamber Smears Politico . . . “ 'Non-fact based anti-Iran Deal propaganda,” sneers former deputy national security adviser and creative-writing expert Ben Rhodes. “The story is so manufactured out of thin air that it’s hard to push back except to say that it’s a figment of the imagination of two very flawed sources,” says Tommy Vietor, who has a podcast.
