Highly slanted

Why does it qualify for the description 'news article'? What news does it attempt to convey? We already know Iran has a nuclear program, and the article says nothing evidential concerning it. It merely expresses the writer's opinion on 'established' fact so as to 'establish' en passant an untruth, viz the passage concerning Israel "The regime expresses desire to annihilate Israel almost daily". Pure assertion. I wonder who 'the regime' is? Is it the Government of Iran? Or are we meant to suppoose it is the Government of Iran?

Also there are perfect examples of leading questions from wikinews.

I live in poison ivy country. Some people claim they're so allergic to the stuff they'll come down with a case even if they only get within a few dozen feet of it. But it generally turns out those people don't know what poison ivy looks like.

Similarly, there's a positive correlation between people who make accusations of bias against anything that doesn't cater to their opinions, and people who don't know what bias looks like.
