How the NYT covers evil

......."Examples are endless. Here is one more: In 2002, there was widespread Nigerian Muslim opposition to the Miss World pageant scheduled to take place that year in Nigeria. Defending the pageant, a Nigerian female reporter wrote a column in which she said that not only were the contestants not “whores,” as alleged by the Muslim protesters, but they were such fine women that “Muhammad would probably have taken one of the contestants for a wife.”

That one sentence led to Muslim rioting, the beating and killing of Christians, the burning of churches, and the razing of her newspaper’s offices.

How did the New York Times report the events?

“Fiery Zealotry Leaves Nigeria in Ashes Again.”"........................

Because of cartel intimidation, the press in Mexico refuses to cover the drug war.

I think a similar thing is happening in American culture, the press is refusing to write articles that cast Islamic adherents in a bad light. They don't want to be blown up. And while this is understandable, I dread the day the press is too scared to give us the truth. Like above, there is a jihad against Christians going on in Africa right now that is getting almost zero coverage. And even the US Army is too scared to call the Fort Hood shootings terrorism even when the attacker is yelling Islamic chants as he butchered his fellow soldiers.

If you don't like the Times, don't read it. It's that simple.

That's not the problem, the problem is that too many people like you do read it. They believe it to be gospel and don't demand the truth, or care if the truth is told. The press came to exist as a way of informing the people since the people have now way of knowing what's going on without it. You of all people should know how important it is to be honest with the people and to tell them all the news whether it is good for their personal ideology or not.

Again, you are telling other people what they believe.

I don't believe it's the gospel and I don't get your reference to "you of all people." I'm no different than anyone else. But if you really believe that, why do you watch Fox News?

Don''t worry "Raees", your secret is safe with me. And BTW, I watch just as much liberal news (which is by far the majority)... it helps to keep me focused on the truth by seeing clearly the lies.

Yeah, thanks for granting me freedom of speech, Heisey.
