The Argus Newspaper is a relatively small local Newspaper in Fremont California which has made a name for itself for being the newspaper with the most retractions in the Bay Area. So besides being incredibly biased, they print information that is just flat out wrong. The Argus can twist facts like a pretzel, giving the term "duplicitous journalistic integrity" a new name.

The ARGUS DOES IT AGAIN: Bay Area Paper Prints Arab Conspiracy

The Argus is the local paper for Union City, Fremont, and Newark, all small cities between Oakland and San Jose in the inner Bay area with large Muslim populations. But today The Argus printed a despicable conspiracy rant that would not have been out of place in the Arab News, arguing that Muslims could not possibly have planned and carried out the September 11 attacks: Theory Cannot Be Believed. is the name of the article. So if it wasn’t Muslims, who could it possibly have been? Hmm?

"The Sept. 11 tragedy and the most meticulously planned incident in human history could not have been planned by uneducated and fanatic people from the backward Islamic countries, as most Americans seem to believe.

The well-planned and coordinated event points to an established intelligence service of a more advanced and capable foreign government that has free access to American intelligence."

I’m racking my brain, but I can’t seem to figure out what foreign government he’s talking about. It’s a mystery. (And the author, being too clever by half, never says outright.)

Oh, and about wack-job Zacarias Moussaoui?

"Zacarias Moussaoui was caught before Sept. 11 and is in jail. After a long time, and after deep thinking, this religious person decided to plead guilty to his involvement but with one condition: that he be allowed, in front of the judge, to address the American people.

It is believed that he intended to expose the true planners of the Sept. 11 bombings. Unfortunately, the authorities did not agree to his request. Why? (Subsequently he retracted his guilty plea.)"

What the hell were the editors at the Argus thinking?

Thank you Charles @ the LGF ..i'm glad there are so many people who notice the impropriety of the Argus - KEN

Yet Again, more Misinformation when you pick up your Newspaper!

More misinformation and publishing woes at the Argus Newspaper the other day...
I guess most residents in Fremont mistakenly read something in the Newspaper and by and large whole heartedly believe everything they read ...even when it is something as mundane as incorrectly announcing the trash day pick up. Yes folks even this is gobbled up by the minimalist minded public..ahem..by all means Fremont folks please don't bother to check your resources...its easier to read the Argus and regurgitate it later to others. Well unfortunately, most people in the tri-city area did actually read the advertisement endorsed by the Argus telling residents trash day was going to be changed from their regular schedule. However, it was not changed and Newark's Tri-Cities Waste Management company was "inundated with calls this week after The Argus published information stating that garbage pickup would be delayed by one day because of the Christmas holiday.” This may seem a little insignificant to many of you, but was very annoying for those who had an extra weeks worth of trash piling up, especially after the holidays.
