Isn’t it funny how all these mainstream media “mistakes” run in exactly the same direction. They never, ever seem to make a mistake that falsely portray Muslims as perpetrators and non-Muslims as victims. The Washington Post did the same thing as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution does here. This kind of thing shows how the state press keeps the lemmings in line.
“Atlanta Journal-Constitution Falsely Claims Detroit Muslim ‘Targeted Muslims,’” by Warner Todd Huston, Breitbart, February 19, 2015:
On Tuesday news went national of a Muslim man who was arrested in Detroit for stabbing two non-Muslims at a bus stop after asking their religion. But the next day the Atlanta Journal-Constitution falsely claimed that the “attacker targeted Muslims” when in fact it was a Muslim who targeted two non-Muslims.
This false headline appears in the February 18 hard copy issue of the AJC–but not on the Internet. It was on page A6 in a section titled “In Brief” where the AJC posted a single paragraph brief on the arrest of Terrence Lavaron Thomas, the Michigan man who was accused of accosting two strangers at a Detroit bus stop. Thomas was arrested for stabbing the two after demanding they tell him if they were Muslims and then finding out they were not.
While the AJC had the correct facts in its short story, it’s [sic] headline was 180 degrees out of phase, saying, “Attacker allegedly targeted Muslims.”
This, of course, is entirely backwards. It was a Muslim who targeted non-Muslims….
Kevin Walker says
First they started with twisting & distorting the facts and nobody questioned them, that embolden them further to tell outright lies because they know nobody will ever stop or even question them now.

The Leftarded cultural Marxist journalists do indeed EMBOLDEN the ISLAMIC terrorists by shielding them from criticism.
Emilie Green says
But I do notice that the MSM and other Muslim apologists (such as the White House) are more and more getting tied up, and tongue-tied, as more and more are noticing the truth. It is all quite amusing.
mortimer says
Indeed, you are right. The ‘Islam is peace’ party is over now…totally over. Time to pick up the beer bottles, ash trays and broken glass.
Angemon says
Well, that’s another newspaper not worth reading…
The Doctor says
The retraction will be posted in plain view…
“…on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”
Bezelel says
It does say allegedly but by who? Who, What, When, Where and Why must be outdated.
David says
Looks like Muslim on Muslim crime that way…so he was so disapointed to find out that they were not Muslims….that he attacked them!
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
In introducing the Breitbart article which introduces the erroneously headlined Atlanta Journal-Constitution one-paragraph item, Robert Spencer uses the phrase “the state press”. I do not remember having seen this term used by him before. How is it defined? Is the AJC under the direction of the state government of Georgia?
Porkistan says
Dog bites man is not news.
Man bites dog is news.
The headline reflects that even the biased media just expects muslims to behave this way and it’s only newsworthy with a ‘civilized’ non-muslim actually attacks a muslim.
D J says
Of course it was deliberate. They merely got caught. It is the White Houses meme that Mohammedans are good. Which is why we are letting 100,000 per month in, 1.2 million per year; in 15 years that will be 18 million, not counting their progeny. What could possibly go wrong? And not only idiot Democrats, but idiot Republicans are in on this game too.
