Brave and fearless reporting indeed. I wonder where the retraction is...

His page is still up at the fraud under the heading:

"Saeed Kamali Dehghan is a former Guardian journalist"

lol

The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide.
Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

I do like the description of the fraud in the Canary comments: Neoliberal Good Housekeeping lol nm
