Angry tweets called Obama a clueless, Islamic terrorist sympathizer Muslim in 5…4…3…2…1…
In watching the never ending coverage I was really struck by the lengths the MSM went through to never mention gun control or the easy access to gunsl. It was all about how do we stop the next terrorism attack.
In Rump’s America, the 30% of his followers want easy answers to questions that don’t even make sense. In their eyes, Mateen was an Islamic terrorist. Period. He said that he was sympathetic to Daesh, and they quickly jumped on the bandwagon he rode in on, therefore that proves EVERYTHING. They’ll never believe that he was just one more deranged murderer set off by his own homophobia.
He didn’t say the Magic Words, so obviously he set this whole thing up.
Why hasn’t this alledeged 9-11 call been verified as coming from the suspect and released?
Somebody could rob a 7-11 and when caught say he’s part of ISIS and it would be reported breathlessly on Fox News that a terror cell was operating here.
And many are secretly glad he picked a gay nightclub. Some are not so secret about it.
“I’m sure we will find that . . . there are connections between this vicious, bankrupt ideology and general attitudes towards gays and lesbians, and unfortunately that is—that’s something that the LGBT community is subject to ***not just by ISIL but by a lot of groups that purport to speak on behalf of God around the world.***”
When will Cruz, Trump, et al, chastise Obama for refusing to utter the words “radical Xtian terrorism?”
The MSM is failing. Not just in this instance, but in general, wherever serious issues exist and lives and well-being are at stake. I am reading, with horror, through “The War on Science” The MSM has much to be ashamed of and I wouldn’t trust the MSM to report objective reality as far as I could dropkick an anvil in a swamp.
Otto identifies many common journalistic failings that he says “aid the slide into unreason,” provide unwarranted support for extreme views, and play into the hands of industry groups and other vested interests to such an extent that they represent a “danger to democracy” itself. Chief among these is what Otto refers to as reporters’ “laissez-faire, hands off view” that “there is no such thing as objectivity,” which has led to false balance in news reports by giving inaccurate claims equal weight to scientific facts.
A primary reason for false balance, according to Otto, is that journalists approach questions in a fundamentally different way from scientists. “Journalists look for conflict to find an angle,” he writes, “so there are always two sides to every story.” A scientist, by contrast, would say that “one of these claims can be shown to be objectively false and it’s poor reporting to paint this as a controversy.” As a result, the journalistic approach “tends to skew public policy in counterfactual directions.”
Best President of my lifetime. Period. Exclamation Point.
Hell…that already happened BEFORE ‘they’ heard this…
And CNN…never forget the Wolf!
Republican’s never let evidence or lack there of stand in their way of their beliefs in anything.
Yep, we know he was just part of your plot to kill all gays Obama!
