Axis of Yellow Journalism?
I'm off to visit the in-laws', so I'll leave it up to the reader to find any holes in these stories: N.Korea may be preparing missile launch: reports and Iran eyes badges for Jews.

UPDATE: See these posts from Kushibo and Serge respectively: Ministry of Ratcheting Up Tensions and More Libel Against Iran?

UPDATE 2: The Iranian story was an outright lie, as is made clear by this, buried in the 19th paragraph of Iran's Draft Law on Dress Has Many Worried:
    A copy of the draft law obtained by The Associated Press made no mention of religious minorities or any requirement of special attire for them, and the Post later posted an article on its Web site backing off the report.
That the story is false will go down the Orwellian memory hole, just like the fake incubator baby story employed against Iraq under Bush I.
