OMITTED: CNN Segment on Boston Marathon Bombing Skips Jihadi Terrorist Brothers
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/17/2023 11:07:24 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Introducing CNN This Morning's segment today on the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, co-host Poppy Harlow said: "This is a day to not forget. To never forget what happened." Except that CNN did "forget" to mention a central fact about "what happened" that day!

The attack, which resulted in the deaths of five people and injured hundreds, was perpetrated by two Chechen jihadi terrorist brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Their family entered the United States on a tourist visa, was eventually granted asylum and received welfare benefits for many years.

Ilhan Omar infamously described 9/11 as "some people did something." CNN's stamping out of inconvenient history was even more atrocious. During the segment, not a word was uttered, or even a vague reference made, about the Muslim terrorists who committed the atrocity.

If the perpetrators had been white-nationalist fanatics, think CNN would have mentioned their identity? Rhetorical question.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

One of those rare cases where the crime was not committed by a gun, but by a pressure cooker. /s

So, not even a "some people did some thing" level of willful unspecificity?

Classic!

I have to have faith the news media people will meet with their justified punishment in the next world.

I have vowed to keep hands off as God wants he great pleasure to himself-—

Bible analysis site quotes:
The Apostle Paul says in Romans chapter 12, “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Just like 9/11. The media did a 20 year reminder. Not a word about the muslim terrorists who did it.

Apparently some nice men from somewhere in the world were out for a pleasant ride on some planes one nice Tuesday morning, and those evil capitalists put big buildings in the way of the nice men who bumped into the buildings and somebody died.

Yet another CNN “journalist” who doesn’t know the meaning of the word.

“During the segment, not a word was uttered, or even a vague reference made, about the Muslim terrorists who committed the atrocity.”

Did they imply that it might have been the result of global warming? White racism? Homophobia? Capitalism? All of the above?

The only reason they ever bring it up is because it happened during the Boston Marathon, so they know the audience remembers. Otherwise it would go down the memory hole with all the other jihadi, or left-wing, or tranny, or any other non-MAGA massacres.

I’m surprised CNN has figured out some creative way to tie this to Christians, racism by white heterosexual men, Trump or guns.

We all know, all evil in this world is caused by those christian, white, heterosexual men, and especially Trump who has the audacity to not apologize for being a white, heterosexual, male. Can you believe that! That jerk doesn’t even prostrate himself when called a racist, xeno or homophobe, or sexist. How dare he!!! This guy is so horrible, so bad that he actually likes guns and admits that publically!!! Can you believe that? He triggers me.

The pressure-cooker was designed and manufactured by "White" engineers - who were probably heterosexual, to boot!

There! Satisfied?!

You must be right.

MSNBC fact checkers said you’re right. Hahaha

When this happened, there was very little media coverage as well: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughan_Foods_beheading_incident

I’m sure the media thought it’s best to down play this. We don’t want folks getting upset and losing their heads.
