While The American Media Slept

From Astute Bloggers:

While the American media was focusing on prosecuting the Bush regime for splashing water on terrorists, they missed this story.
An Iraqi mommy with her toddler blew up in an emergency food line in Iraq this past weekend.
The National Post reported, via Free Republic:

Having spent this morning catching up on my weekend reading, I came across this Page 4 article from Friday's New York Times. Here's the lead paragraph: "BAGHDAD — At least 80 people died and 120 others were injured Thursday in three bombings, one by a female suicide bomber in Baghdad who, Iraqi officials said, held a young child’s hand as she set off her explosives among a group of women and children receiving emergency food aid."

Even putting aside our baseline revulsion at terrorism, there are three especially hideous things that jumo out from this:

1) A mother deliberately taking her (presumed) child with her as she immolates herself. For all the hundreds of suicide bombings that Iraq has already witnessed, this has got to be a first.

2) This was a line for food aid. Islamists have gone from attacking U.S. soldiers, to attacking Iraqi soldiers, to attacking police stations, to attacking the religious ceremonies of rival sects — on down the line of nihilism until, now, they are reduced to blowing up hungry people seeking sustenance.

3) This hideous crime was played on page four of The New York Times. And a quick scan of other media suggests it got similar B-rate treatment elsewhere.

Vile!

What kind of sick ideology motivates human-shaped organisms to do a thing like that?

I mean what kind of sick ideology motivates human-shaped organisms to do a thing like that?

And a thing like Beslan. And Mumbai. And Bali. And... And... And... And...

And, what kind of vile ideology motivates our media to ignore it?

And, to suppress the fact that Beslan was a Jihadist attack on children, where some were raped and forced to drink urine?

And, what is the vile ideology our media adheres to which motivates them to suppress the photos of 9/11?

In a way, that's doubly vile, and it is suicidal for our culture.

You're right. The MSM has become some kind of scum bag, entertainment seeking, Obama ass licking piece of shit.

Anything and everything that just might prove the fact that we are at war with Islam, is either tucked way back, behind the Obama ass licking, celebrity oohing and awing pages or ignored completely.

The MSM's byline is written by Obama's teleprompter.
