These nutcase journalists will be as ham stringed as anybody else under Sharia law and Islamic customs.
The father of activist media, Joseph Goebbels, must be looking up from hell right now and wondering why he could not have been born 60 years later.
Fourth Estate=Fifth Column. If these guidelines are not a smoking gun, nothing is.
Forget about truth, eh?
I hate these people.
Can I still say that?
This is news?
This is why the internet is a great tool to counter this nonsense because of websites such as Daniel Pipes, Jihadwatch.org, and Little Green Footballs, ete.
Oh ya, don't call it Mecca, might have a bad connotation (I wonder why). More bull*#t from politically correct journalists.
There goes my dinner.
The Lamestream Media strikes again!
“Youths”
Here’s two sentences that are fun to put side by side:
1)Avoid using word combinations such as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim extremist” that are misleading because they link whole religions to criminal activity.
2)When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.
So remember kids, it’s ok to tag all whites as supremacists and anti-abortionists as radicals.
Jackasses.
Wouldn’t it be better to advise journalists to:
Tell the truth.
If you are ignorant about Islam, read up on it.
If you are ignorant of the various Muslim countries, read up on them.
Don’t take anyone’s word for it, either for or against. Do your homework. Read the Koran. Read the basic writings. Read a few histories of Islam. And read a few histories of the Crusades.
Facts, facts, facts. Sure, you should listen to what Muslims have to say for themselves, but do enough studying to know if they are telling the truth or lying.
Did Mohammed advocate rape, pillage, conquest, murder, oathbreaking, wife abuse? What do the sources reveal about these matters? What does it reveal about people who can accept these sorts of activities as the highest model of human behavior?
But I forgot. These folks were trained in journalism schools. Stuff like truth and facts and reading up on the background are completely foreign to them.
Oh...yer gonna just love this.

Its also interesting how Arab imperialism is affirmed as an explicit textual reality. Non arab minorities who are being and have been erased are textually diminished by the constant preference for Arab descriptors in the style manual.
Notice they didn’t say “When covering the 9/11 terrorists, seek out terrorists from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds.” Cause, uh....
These nutcase journalists will be as ham stringed as anybody else under Sharia law and Islamic customs.
OUTSTANDING post! Hooray Charles Johnson! BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
And they’ve had a great deal of success...
Just one underhanded example:
Hisb’Allah is now called Hezbollah by the press, instead. (It means “Party of Allah”) This way it is not as obviously a Muslim religious group to the average reader...

Bump for later reading.
