Tabloid Journalism

The Daily Mail has claimed that eBay is sellng ancient coins from Apamea stolen by ISIS.  The author, one Jack Crone, does not seem to much care that similar coins have been on the legitimate market for generations or even that Apamea apparently is in the hands of the Assad Regime, not ISIS.  Meanwhile, far more credible sources have questioned whether any material that may have been looted (as opposed to destroyed) by the iconolclasts of ISIS has come here in any quantity.
