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

So do Boston residents : )

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

I read an interesting article on FR that posited that for 200 years Christian civilization has done the rational thing; whatever that was. We are still not in utopia. Therefore, doing the rational thing is the wrong thing. Liberals do exactly the opposite of the rational thing because THAT will lead us to utopia.

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

It's more than that, it is an enemy.

Pat Caddell called it. Do you believe it yet?

Pat Caddell slams the media: They have become an “enemy of the people” Sept. 29, 2012(video 26:00)

Emotional Pat Caddell on the MSM ignoring Benghazi: “These people have no honor!” Oct. 27, 2012 (video at link 4:06)

The MSM are enemies of the people!

No, no, you didn’t get the whole memo!

It was a white male heterosexual Tea Party Bible-thumping gun owner with a pressure cooker!

.... "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. "

.... I think it could be argued that at this point the President has had his momentum of his issues temporarily bumped into the gutter .... The above observation stated by The Blaze is a serious question that needs to be answered. To quote Rahm Emanuel as he betrayed the Liberal philosophy to the rest of the country .... he said "... Never let a Crisis go to waste!"

... This country has been rocked out of its slumber once again ..... And this crisis is exactly what is needed to reinforce some foundational principles into the nations psyche. The conservative talkers as well as some media savvy people need to fuel the momentum immediately before this administration buries current events and questions being asked off of the headlines and resurrects their agendas momentum that was high just a few days ago.

..... Carpe Momentum .... Seize the Moment.

Well then, 79% of Boston has at least one thing in common with the killers, they supported Barack Obama. As far as I am concerned those 79% are accessories to the death and destruction of the marathon victims. One of the things they loved about Obama is his inclusion and protection of Islam, they still will.

You finally figured tha out? The American media supports any act, condition or event that supports treason, sedition, Sodomy, narcotics abuse, pornography or in anyway harms the United States and its people.

>all muslims are not terrorists<

.
But when the chips are down the overwhelming majority of muslims will side with their terrorist co-religionists — they may not pull the trigger, but they will pass the ammo.

They have to show solidarity if they believe in the Book of Hatred a.k.a the Koran.

In fact, not only did he pimp his blog, he took my concept, wrote a blog about it, then pimped it.

Somewhere in Boston there's a liberal who tried to buy one...and was told for the first time that there's a waiting period. Schadenfreude.
