We do not republish articles from Daily Express. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Daily Express runs an interview with Rudy Giuliani under a headline that puts 'Iranian terrorists' in quotation marks, words he is not quoted saying in the body. A parenthetical aside inside one of his quotes calls Ahmadinejad a 'strong proponent of Iranian nuclear weapon' with no source. In its own narration the outlet also calls Iran's government a 'regime' and certifies the NCRI as 'pro-democracy' while reporting its terrorist designation only through Giuliani's account.
Headline goes beyond the article
Serious
“‘Iranian terrorists can smell bulls**t - words aren't enough’”
Why this matters
The headline puts 'Iranian terrorists' and 'words aren't enough' inside quotation marks as Giuliani's words.
The impression it gives
The reader believes Giuliani said 'Iranian terrorists can smell bullshit' and that the quote names Iranians as the terrorists.
The context
The body quotes him saying only 'Terrorists can smell bullshit' and 'Words do not combat terrorists'. The word 'Iranian' is the outlet's addition inside the quotation marks, and 'words aren't enough' is not a phrase anyone says in the article.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article““Terrorists can smell bullshit,” he says”
Elsewhere in the article“Words do not combat terrorists, they encourage terrorists.”
Headline: 'Terrorists can smell bullshit', says Rudy Giuliani as he urges the West to back the NCRI against Iran's government.
States one side's claim as fact
Serious
“(former Iran President and strong proponent of Iranian nuclear weapon)”
Why this matters
A parenthetical gloss, written in the third person inside Giuliani's quote, describes Ahmadinejad as a 'strong proponent of Iranian nuclear weapon' with no source.
The impression it gives
The reader takes it as established fact that Iran's former president openly championed building a nuclear weapon, and that Iran's nuclear programme is a weapons programme.
The context
Nothing in the article sources this. The outlet's own earlier reporting describes the IAEA finding as enrichment to 60 per cent, 'a short technical step' from weapons grade, which is a finding about enrichment, not a weapon or a stated aim to build one.
