Both Bangladeshi newspapers have since apologized to their readers for their inaccurate news story.
The BBC article stated,
“Daily Manab Zamin, the only tabloid newspaper in Bangladesh, published an apology to its readers on Thursday, saying the report had ‘drawn a lot of attention’.”
In addition, the BBC quoted the apology in the Daily Manab Zamin by saying,
"We've since learned that the fun site runs false and juicy reports based on a historic incident….The Moon landing one was such a story, which received numerous hits on the internet….The truth is that Neil Armstrong never gave such an interview. It was made up. We are sorry for publishing the report without checking the information."
This news event seems to verify that these two newspapers in Bangladesh believe the U.S. Apollo 11 Moon landing DID happen.
The
Daily Manab Zamin calls the Apollo 11 Moon landing
"a historic incident."
And, the world news media, also, seems to support this contention—that the United States Apollo 11 manned spacecraft did travel to the Moon in 1969, land on the lunar body, and return safely to Earth—by running stories on the incident involving the Bangladeshi newspapers,
The Onion, and Neil Armstrong/Apollo 11.
In addition, if the U.S. Moon landings were fake, then
The Onion would not run a
true story of a
fake event because they are in the business of running FAKE stories of TRUE events. Thus,
The Onion also believes the Apollo 11 Moon landing is real because it wrote a satirical story on it.
