Main Stream Media WTF are they good for?

Brotherhood Torture Chambers (Finally) Exposed

July 30, 2013 By Raymond Ibrahim

Some time ago, Fox News published a report titled “Egyptian mosque turned into house of torture for Christians after Muslim Brotherhood protest.” The report opens by explaining how

Islamic hard-liners stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into [a] torture chamber for Christians who had been demonstrating against the ruling Muslim Brotherhood in the latest case of violent persecution that experts fear will only get worse. Such stories have become increasingly common as tensions between Egypt’s Muslims and Copts mount, but in the latest case, mosque officials corroborated much of the account and even filed a police report. Demonstrators, some of whom were Muslim, say they were taken from the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in suburban Cairo to a nearby mosque on Friday and tortured for hours by hard-line militia members.

While it is good that Fox News reported on the Brotherhood’s “torture chambers,” its report is also a reminder of how much the American public is often kept in the dark concerning what happens to Christians in Muslim countries—indeed, about what happens in the Muslim world in general.

The fact is, months earlier, numerous reports, not to mention pictures and videos, circulated in the Arabic media about the Muslim Brotherhood’s “torture chambers.”

On January 6—nearly three months before the Fox News report appeared, I wrote the following words in a FrontPage Magazine article, concerning how several Muslim Brotherhood affiliated clerics had

issued fatwas, or Islamic decrees, that all such protesters [against Morsi] are to be fought and killed, regardless of whether they are fellow Muslims, leading to the violent attacks and killings during the uprisings against Morsi, including the “Muslim Brotherhood’s Torture Rooms.”

...

Update: One need not try to imagine anymore. The narrative being relayed by Western mainstream media concerning events in Egypt—which is very much based on the pro-Brotherhood Al Jazeera’s distortions and lies, which portray as victim the aggressors—has so little to do with reality, especially in comparison to what is being reported by independent Egyptian reporters. But it does fit the Obama administration’s agenda. More on this later.

Time after Time

It is a widely acknowledged fact that what goes by the name of reporting nowadays, in the mainstream media, is often shamelessly slanted – and that the slant is almost invariably leftward. But it is also true that some reporters are a good deal more shameless – to the point of being incontrovertibly mendacious – than others. Thanks to the proliferation of alternate news sources on the Internet, the MSM’s power to bamboozle the general public with outright lies has eroded year by year. Yet, God bless ‘em, they keep trying.

Case in point: an article in Time Magazine, datelined Oslo, posted on August 19, and written by one Charlotte McDonald-Gibson (hereafter CMG). Entitled “Norway’s Far Right May Come to Power Despite Memory of Anders Breivik’s Killing Spree,” it provides a classic example of what it means to twist the facts beyond recognition in the name of ideology.

The headline alone does a splendid job of telegraphing – to anyone who actually knows something about subject at hand – the article’s breathtaking bias. The reference is to the forthcoming Norwegian parliamentary elections on September 9, which, barring a major upset, are expected to lead to the formation of a government by a coalition of non-socialist parties. The dread prospect to which CMG refers, in short, is that Norway, currently run by socialists, may soon – horrors! – be run by non-socialists. This new coalition would probably include the Progress Party. It’s this party, which at present is the second largest in parliament, that CMG dishonestly categorizes as “far right” and links to Anders Behring Breivik, the maniac who murdered 77 people two years ago.

...

Time Magazine was never the most serious of publications. It was often criticized for its excessive attention to famous personalities, and like any magazine it had an editorial slant. But in its heyday, nothing like CMG’s propaganda would ever have made it into print. Surely Luce, a solid anti-Communist and believer in freedom, would have been appalled to see the Time imprimatur on a text that celebrates socialists and smears a party of liberty. It’s a good thing that we have alternative news sources, and that Time, a shadow of its former self, will soon likely be joining its old rival Newsweek on the ash-heap of history.

What the MSM good for? Pushing the GOP line. Been that way since the Clinton era.

The funny thing is the cultists who think that our national media, entirely owned by extremely conservative corporations, is actually "liberal". Fortunately for them, there will always be some right-wing conspiracy theories which will be too retarded even for our conservative MSM to touch. Thus, when the MSM doesn't stoop extra-low by parroting those deranged conspiracies, the cranks will have an excuse to rail about a "liberal media".

CNN’s Iran Coverage: Biased, Inept, or Corrupt?

October 4, 2013 By Noah Beck

Christiane_Amanpour1.jpg


Al-Jazeera bought access to US public opinion when it purchased Current TV from Al Gore, but it faces stiff competition from CNN when it comes to misleading viewers about the Middle East. Over the last week, CNN has promoted a biased, re-branded image of the Iranian regime on at least three major programs.

CNN’s positive spin on Iran is collectively staggering. Did the Iranian regime secure such favorable coverage with payments? Or was CNN just so inept and/or biased that it inadvertently promoted the Iranian regime at every opportunity? Consider each program.

Tina Brown: Mitch McConnell is Rand Paul's 'Bitch'

"The story of this political crisis is really, you know, the culpability not just of the Republican crazies, but of the Republican non-crazies."

10.11.2013 |Rebecca Hartmann

The Daily Beast's editor-in-chief Tina Brown unhinged herself in the middle of the Daily Beast's annual Hero Summit. During an interview with Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Brown asked:

"The story of this political crisis is really, you know, the culpability not just of the Republican crazies, but of the Republican non-crazies. I mean, how do we get to the point where Mitch McConnell is Rand Paul's bitch?...Why aren't the moderate Republicans, you know, fighting back? We're always saying why don't, you know, the moderate Muslims fight jihad, but, you know, this is jihad."

Politico's Chief Political Columnist: Why Not Kill Boehner and Cruz?

"If Ted Cruz and John Boehner were both on a sinking ship, who would be saved?"

10.14.2013 |Ben Shapiro

Chief political columnist for Politico Roger Simon had a unique answer to the government shutdown and debt ceiling impasse: kill Ted Cruz and John Boehner. He tweeted this on Monday:

...

His column pushed the same meme, complete with a picture of the infamous dude with confederate flag at yesterday’s Million Vet March. The headline: “Government shutdown unleashes racism.” Here’s an excerpt:

“Question: If Ted Cruz and John Boehner were both on a sinking ship, who would be saved?

Answer: America.

Harsh? Look around you at what is happening to America and you will see harsh. I am not talking about closed parks and monuments. I am talking about the funds cut to nearly 9 million mothers and young children for food, breastfeeding support and infant formula.

That is harsh. Making a war against babies is harsh….

This weekend, racism came out of the closet. (Which assumes it has ever been in the closet.)

Protesters marched through the streets of Washington on Sunday with a Confederate flag and then a protester lounged against the White House fence with one. Displaying the Confederate flag in front of a home occupied by a black family was meant to send a particular, and particularly repellent, message.


The answer to one idiot with a Confederate flag, according to Simon, is to kill the Speaker of the House and the sitting junior Senator from Texas. But the right is extreme.

Daily News Reporter Bashes Blind Republican For Not Recognizing His Wife In Crowded Room

10.18.2013 |Jeff Dunetz

...

anything you disagree with, just flip me the bird. It’s fine.”

Wednesday night, as he made his concession speech in a noisy room, Lonegan's wife began to put her hand on his shoulder. Not realizing who was touching him the candidate pushed her hand away. Most in the room understood what was going on, but the NY Daily News ignored Lonegan's blindness. They published the picture above along with the following:

“AWKWARD: Video shows New Jersey Republican Steve Lonegan bristling at wife’s touch
From the looks of it, you'd have thought he'd run against his wife.

During his concession speech to Cory Booker, New Jersey Republican Senate candidate Steve Lonegan combatively pushed his wife's hand from his shoulder and nonchalantly continued on his with address.

The awkward moment was caught on video and put on Internet, where it quickly went viral Thursday.



Lorraine Lonegan, Steve Lonegan's wife told NJ.com the controversy is hurful:

“What the video actually shows, she says, is her husband brushing away what he thought was a handler who was attempting to position him toward the cameras and the crowd.

“You Cannot Love America in Theory and Hate it in Fact.”

October 22, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

That quote comes from a Fareed Zakaria screed about the evil Republicans.

The era of crisis could end but only when this group of conservatives makes its peace with today’s America. They are misty-eyed in their devotion to a distant republic of myth and memory yet they are passionate in their dislike of the messy multi-racial capitalist and welfare state democracy that America actually has been for half a century, a fifth of this nation’s history. At some point will they realize that you cannot love America in theory and hate it in fact.

That indictment could be much more decisively applied to liberals than conservatives who remain passionately devoted to some imaginary Camelot, an ivory tower state without borders or budgets that can only come into being by destroying the America that exists.

When Michelle Obama described being proud of the country for the first time when her husband was elected, that summed up the disease moral state of liberalism which only approves of the America that they create by destroying America.

A Moment of Uncomfortable Honesty on MSNBC

It started with Greenfield claiming that he was answering a question about Obamacare not speaking as an “advocate” but a “journalist.”

Greenfield:

“Look I realize sometimes networks can be … I want to just be a cataloguer (laughter from panel)

Wagner:

“You're allowed to do whatever you want...

Greenfield:

“No, no, no because I don’t represent myself, I represent myself as a humble country journalist, not an advocate.

There was an uncomfortable pause before the host asserted:

“I think many people at this table would consider themselves journalists.

Greenfield:

“Who are also advocates.

Wagner:

“No we’re not.

Greenfield:

“Progressives and liberals.

Media Forgets Convicted Mayor's Political Affiliation

He's a Democrat, it turns out

Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was convicted on 20 counts of bribery and fraud Thursday, and while media outlets from all over the country covered the conviction, many neglected to include the 57 year old Democrat's party affiliation in the stories they reported.

Marco Rubio Blasts the Mainstream Media for Being Hillary’s Greatest Super PAC

Rubio took aim of the state of the media, saying “The Democrats have the ultimate Super PAC: it’s called the mainstream media.” The comment got an immediate positive reaction from the Colorado crowd. Rubio noted:

“Last week Hilary Clinton went before a Committee. She admitted… ‘Hey, this attack on Benghazi was caused by Al Qaeda-like elements…and yet the mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It was the week she got exposed as a liar.”

The response from the crowd was overwhelmingly supportive. Rubio continued, “But she has her Super PAC helping her out: the American mainstream media.”

Marco Rubio Blasts the Mainstream Media for Being Hillary’s Greatest Super PAC
 
It always comes down to the media. The mainstream media has been circling the wagons around democrats since Bill Clinton dodged the draft. How could there be no chatter in the media about the presumed democrat candidate blaming the "vast right wing conspiracy" for Bill's DNA stain on Monica's dress? Didn't Hillary know even when Bill was accused of rape and half a dozen women accused him of molesting them? Imagine an informant inside a democrat administration and breathless fiction churned up every day by an unidentified source until they demanded the president resign? The 3rd rate burglary Nixon had to deal with was childs play compared to the scandals simmering around the Obama administration but all the investigative reporters have retired.
 
Scarborough Rails Against Liberal Bias: 'Name One Republican in Major Media Position'
"You can't do it."

Mark Tapson

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough held nothing back in a rant about the lack of Republican or conservative figures in top media positions for the last fifty years.

When Mark Halperin of Bloomberg Politics stated that the moderators of both Republican and Democrat debates should be objective journalists, Scarborough objected to the very notion of objective journalists. He challenged Halperin, and anyone else on the show's panel, to name a single Republican, outside of Bret Hume, that has held a powerful position in the network media:

MSM Finally Clue In That Obama's ISIS Strategy is Terrible
He is getting called out left and right by the left!

President Obama's comments at the G20 Summit in Turkey has left the mainstream media in a state of unbelief at how terrible his ISIS strategy is. It may be well too little too late -- after all, he's been at this for seven years -- but it's high time the major news networks say something.

TruthRevolt's Caleb Howe pointed out earlier that CNN's Christiane Amanpour came away with serious doubts about what the president had to say on behalf of the latest acts of terrorism. She is not at all convinced that Obama is correct when he said ISIS is contained when "they have just slaughtered 129 people in Paris." Howe summarized his article correctly: "Mr. President, if you've lost Amanpour …"

Another CNN reporter went directly at Obama during the session. Senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta confronted the president in asking this blunt question: "Why can't we take out these bastards?" Acosta had just reminded Obama that he considered them the "JV team." Watch this great question, and the resulting weak answer:

NBC's Chuck Todd was "struck" by Obama's "defensive tone" when answering questions about his (non-)strategy. Todd added that the media's tone in the press conference was a reflection of public sentiment, whether Parisian or American, and noted that Obama's defensiveness was "an odd decision:"

I really think it started with Watergate. That was the event that made journalists think their job was to shape the news, and not be diligent about reporting it accurately. The MSM has been nothing but a Democratic mouthpiece and smoke screen ever since.
