'Today' Air-Brushes Muslim Identity Of Possible Anti-Pope Plotters
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Imagine six Israelis had been arrested in the US and charged with possibly plotting against a visiting ayatollah. Rhetorical question: would Today have mentioned their nationality and/or religion?

But when reportedly six Algerian Muslims were arrested in the UK and charged with possibly plotting against visiting Pope Benedict XVI, Today breathed not a word of their identity. Reporter Nina Dos Santos spoke only of "the specter of terror" having reared its head in London, and of "yesterday's arrests." But Dos Santos never said what form that specter took . . . or who was arrested.

They’re probably afraid they may have to go in witness protection. What a bunch of cowards.

What I was hearing yesterday was that they were “North Africans”. One can draw your own conclusions from that.
The media is adding to their code list of descriptors to be used in place of Muslim. ‘North Africans’ is a new one on me.

At least it wasn’t those infernal Canadian Amish!

it was six Scots who spoke with a thick brogue from the southern province of Algerique. Expect facts from the Today show ? And the Two Santoses ? Aww...come on...thats entertainment they don’t want the cream in your coffee to curdle.

If this had happened, “Today” would have had a half hour discussion on the legimacy of the state of Israel.

”We will always have PRAVDA.”



How sad that the American public gets much, much more truth
and real news (as opposed to weather reports from 5 years ago)
from PRAVDA compared to any one of the
professional LSM Obama-flacks like CBS,CNN,NBC,ABC,and FOX.

Cowards. Mark Styen talks about how the western media and some politicians have surrendered to Islam in the name of multiculturalism and diversity. This is more evidence that is true.
