The media is the enemy.
Even as a surge of Islamic terrorism has arrived this month with 4 attacks in the U.S., including two in one day, and four attacks in Europe in just one week, the media is working overtime to make the terrorists sympathetic.
“At 13, He Was Selling Sneakers. At 18, He’s Facing Terror Charges.”
That’s how the New York Times spun its headline on Emir Balat, one of the IED terrorists who threw bombs at an anti-Islamization rally in New York City.
Then after multiple media outlets pushed the claim that Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, who tried to murder a bunch of kids in a Jewish Temple preschool was only responding after his ‘family members’ were killed in an Israeli strike (the family members turned out to be Hezbollah terrorists), the Times headlined his story as “The Michigan Synagogue Attacker was a Quiet Restaurant Worker”.
What the media is doing here is abundantly obvious. It’s leading its stories about Islamic terrorists by trying to humanize them. It’s not only Islamic terrorists. Antifa and the murderer of a health care CEO got the same treatment.

These are information operations by the media and they’re part of the bigger game of justifying Islamic and Marxist terrorism while crippling any efforts to defend against them.

And Hitler painted pictures…so what?

“Woe to those putting evil for good, bitter for sweet and darkness for light.”
We know muzzies do this in their daily lives. Now, the goons in the media are trying to make them out to be ordinary people, just doing what they do to get along.
The “woe” Isaiah wrote about is coming to all….the muzzies who commit the evil, murdering Jews, Christians and others; and the media and politicians and “ordinary” people schilling for the murderers

It’s absolutely infuriating. I wish I was young enough to stand outside of every mainstream media and hold a sign up saying they are a bunch of jerks and need to live in the country they’re propping up.
More than one threat says
The media, especially outlets like the the New York Times, are overwhelmingly Left Wing.
And it is increasingly common knowledge that there is a defacto Left Wing and Muslim alliance.
The Left Wing media try to downplay the threat from Islam; rationalise the Islamic terror attacks, Islamic rapes, Muslim grooming gangs or anti-social Islamic behaviour; or try to enable and normalise Islamic presence.
The threat from Islam to every Western country can’t be dealt with, without first removing the protection to Islam that the Left Wing provides.
Westman says
My test of what should be done about Islamic terrorists/jihadists is now, “What would Mohammed bin Salman or Ali Khamenei do if that action was done to their citizens?” Seems fair enough.
When one reads the NYT you get bizarre stuff like Thomas Friedman writing about breast milk for illegal immigrants. The Newspaper Of Record may have made the Guinness Book Of Records or at least driven some readers to Guinness.

Democrats and the Media partner and serve as Apologists with Islam’s Muslims against Non-Muslims to further islamize the West to help gain more taxpayer money, more political power, and more government control. Meanwhile, Muslims are raping, discriminating, segregating, and terrorizing Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”

– if you placed the winning bid on Wednesday night in Afghanistan with your Kabul College friends for sex with a dancing little boy dressed and identifying as a little girl, you just might be a Muslim (Qur’an 65:4)
Hoi Polloi says
“Facing Terror Charges“ which he could so easily have avoided by not being a terrorist. Then there was the whole boys who could have been enjoying an unseasonably warm afternoon angle and Abby Phillips joining all the others to claim he wasn’t a terrorist targeting anti-muslim demonstrators. Deport the families now.
Reading a right-leaning site recently I noticed they were all over the pranking teens who accidentally ran over their teacher, listing Bible verses they’d posted and discussing them all as though they were terrorists. The same site blocks posts that explain islam’s violence, and any reference to verses from the koran that call for jihad and slaughter, as well as nearly everything that explains why jihadis are what they are.

Mr. Greenfield states:
“The media is the enemy.”
Regarding the mainstream media, that is correct.
Didn’t used to be – but is now…

Things havent changed at the times since the 1930s. The NYT’s refused to print anything derogatory about Hitler until the concentration pictures cam out.

Lots of apologia for Stalin as well–look at Walter Duranty.

I would prefer to read that the two terrorists were described as “corpses”.
