The Media Owes Boston an Apology
Mental Recession ^ | 04/19/2013

Posted on 04/19/2013 1:02:02 PM PDT by rustyweiss74

In the April edition of the Blaze Magazine, the question was asked of the media, why have American journalists “chosen to embrace Islam and defend it to the hilt against any perceived form of defamation”?

The fact that we haven’t answered that question twelve years after the murder of thousands of innocents on September 11th, shows that we have failed to deter the American media’s anti-American agenda. And by extension, we have failed the people of Boston.

And for that, we owe the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing a sincere apology.

Nowhere has our failure to hold the American media accountable for providing cover to our enemies been more prevalent than this terrible week.

Completely devoid of facts, liberal journalists set out to respond to the terrorist attacks as being perpetrated by right-wingers, conservatives, or Second Amendment supporters.

We were told it was right-wingers marking the anniversary of Columbine, or the birthday of Hitler.

We were told it was anti-government groups upset about Tax Day.

And we were told it had to be a “right-wing nutjob”, marking the location of the original Tea Party.

What the media failed to do however, was to identify radical Islam as a possible suspect.

The media owes conservatives and the Tea Party an apology, but that will never happen.

The media in this country has proven that it works for the enemy.

Never happen. There is no shame. When the White Hut says “jump”, the media says “how high”. (or should I say, how low?)

This is just a blog.

Your blog, in fact. You’ve been pimping it exclusively.

Why have you excerpted your own blog?
Why is it posted as News?

The leftist US media are aiding and abetting the radical islamists.

If SPLC were an unbiased watchdog group without an agenda themselves our news media would be classified as a 'hate group'.

If the SPLC won't then we certainly should.

Amazing how a single teenager has shut down a major city and turned it into an armed police state. A few more terror incidents and we really will turn back the clock to 1984.

To be more specific. They blamed the attack on evil right wing white guys.

It’s hard to imagine what could possibly shame the left into behaving rationally. They’re so unhinged these days, it’s really something else.

Why do you excerpt your own blog? Blog pimp much? Article after article from the same blog posted. Have you ever commented on anything at F.R.? Have you ever replied to a comment about your blog posts?

No matter how many atrocities the Muzzies commit, the toads in the "media" always whine and say you can't blame all Islamists. They will say that the murderer was "a lone wolf" and his actions shouldn't be held against ALL Muzzies. Hmmmm!

I wonder why those maggots don't feel the same way about gun owners. Currently, all gun owners and the NRA are being blamed for Newtown, Aurora, etc. Commie lib DemocRATS make me sick.

Blog pimp postings—a little above a troll, a little under a vanity.
