MEDIA HYPOCRISY AND WILLFUL STUPIDITY

From Atlas Shrugs:

The only thing that could replace the media's obsession with the murder of a late term abortion doc is a .........right wing Nazi. I was floored last night while watching an exchange between Ellis Henican (Newsday) and Bill O'Reilly discussing that lack of coverage for the jihadi who murdered a US soldier, wounded another and planned attacks of churches, Jewish centers and other targets.

Henican dismissed the Islamic attack on the Arkansas military station and murder of a US soldier as a random act of violence. Henican remonstrated with O'Reilly, asking, "What about the 9,000 other murders in the country? Why not discuss them as well?" [paraphrasing]. So the left narrative is that there is no war on the West, there is no jihad. Surrender. But the abortion doc, according to Henican, is enormously important, because there is a moral value. 

Henican's moral value? 

Not that the murdered doctor performed over 60,000 late term abortions of viable babies, but that he was murdered -- which is undeniably terrible and wrong. The criminal who shot Dr. Tiller had a prior record (as did the shooter of the Holocaust Museum security guard). Why did these nuts have guns? I do not believe in gun control, but I do believe that criminals should lose the privilege of gun ownership. That's the law, is it not? Why aren't we pursuing the failure of law enforcement on this issue? 

Why isn't the media even talking about that?

If anyone grabs the video clip of O'Reilly/Henican, please send it on.


The murder of Private Long is the news story that should be given 24/7 coverage. Abdulhakim  Muhammad, a soldier in the war for Allah, said he was justified. He said, "It wasn't murder, it was war". The same war that killed almost 3,000 Americans on 911. The same war that has committed 13,358 Islamic attacks since 911. The same enemy that vows to annihilate the Jews and destroy Israel. The same enemy that is taking over Europe. The enemy makes no secret of their hate, their intent, their ultimate objective.

Did the media give this woman any coverage? What if she was screaming in defense of Nazi Von Brunn's ideology?

I thought Atlas reader Audrey had a spot on observation, prompted by my remark, "How relieved everyone in the media was ... that the shooter was not a Muslim -- now they can talk about it, now they can spend all day on it and analyze every irrelevant factoid":

I don't know how I can continue as I am, to be surprised/shocked/appalled by the shameless hypocrisy. I'm listening to the circus at the Holocaust Museum. It's been going all morning and will continue for the rest of the day. Does my memory fail me, or have there been a number of extremely violent acts against Jews -- Seattle? etc. -- where the killer was a Muslim, and there was no such big show.
