As I’ve often noted, only one point of view is allowed in the mainstream media today, despite its claims to report the news objectively and without bias. When presenting the other side of an issue is unavoidable, the spokesmen for that side of the issue are addressed in a hostile, prosecutorial manner, markedly different from the fawning treatment given to spokesmen for the favored opinions, and their positions are held up to scrutiny that claims to “debunk” them on the basis of fact but on a closer look (not that many people look more closely) actually only shows that they fall outside the realm of opinion that the media has deemed acceptable.
This works out in a thousand large and small ways all the time. Consider, for example, Friday’s glowing Boston Globe profile of prison teacher and imam Ismail Abdurrashid. Abdurrashid is an imam at the Mosque for the Praising of Allah, which was attended by the Boston jihadis who plotted to murder Pamela Geller. The Globe piece, however, is unflaggingly favorable, never once challenging Abdurrashid’s false claims or investigating what is taught in that mosque. Would the Boston Globe ever run such a respectful, flattering piece about Pamela Geller or anyone who shares her perspective? Absolutely not — whenever the Globe or other mainstream media outlets speak of Geller and others who oppose jihad terror, they do so in a relentlessly adversarial way, making sure to quote the claims of their critics, casting doubts on their good will, and purporting to refute their assertions.
This continues to work well, because even though the Leftist bias of the media has been discussed openly since the early 1960s and even before that, and most people have some idea that it exists, few people have taken the time to know exactly how it works. The media keeps trotting out the Southern Poverty Law Center’s indictment of Geller and others (including me) as “hate group leaders,” without ever questioning the SPLC’s competence to determine such matters, or that group’s own nakedly obvious far-Left agenda. Then cowardly and uninformed people see that the SPLC has thus branded someone as a “hatemonger,” and decide that they are too “controversial” to have them speak at this or that venue, and the goal of the branding has come to fruition.
But quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who watches the watchmen? That question occurred to me again this morning, when I noticed that Jihad Watch was receiving some links from a site called ListVerse, from a piece entitled “10 Insane Ways The Online Media Is Lying To You.” The media watchdog author doesn’t even have the courage to give his last name, as he is listed only as “Morris M.,” and this may be because his piece, while purporting to enlighten readers about media bias, only reinforces, in sly and dishonest ways, the real media bias. Here is the salient portion:
10. Incredible Unsourced (Or Badly Sourced) Stories
Sources or it didn’t happen. That’s the one rule of thumb when reading something on the Internet. If a site presents you with “10 Amazing History Facts” and one of them is, say, “Hitler injected himself with bull semen,” they better have a hyperlink immediately afterward to a reputable site confirming the story. The emphasis there is on “reputable.” Although most sites now take care to source their claims, many do so by linking to sources that are less than useless.
The worst offender is The Daily Mail. Because it looks like a real news site written by real journalists, thousands of blogs and aggregators get stories from it. In reality, most of what they’re reprinting is utter bunkum. The Mail have a track record of making stories up, something that frequently gets them into hot water with the UK’s Press Complaints Commission. Yet American sites keep linking to them. The Huffington Post, CBS, and Time all reprinted the Mail’s made-up story about Beijing screening fake sunrises during heavy pollution. Nastier outlets simply reprint the Mail’s worst race-baiting headlines to give their hatred a sheen of legitimacy (even when the headlines are demonstrably false).
“Race-baiting headlines” links to a five-year-old Jihad Watch post, “Talibanization of Britain: Windows blacked out to protect ‘modesty’ of Muslim women swimmers,” about how a swimming pool in Britain blacked out its windows after complaints from Muslims. Islam is not a race, so the headline could not have been race-baiting, but leave that aside. “Demonstrably false” links to a December 2014 CNN opinion piece by , “Opinion: ‘The Muslims are coming!’ Why Islamophobia is so dangerous.” Awan writes:
Let’s not forget, for example, the story from 2010, when windows were being covered up at a central English leisure center. The Daily Mail headlined its story: “Swimmers plunged into dark after council covers swimming pool windows ‘to protect Muslim women’s modesty.” The council revealed later though that the requests to black out the windows had not come solely from the Muslim community.
What is Awan’s source for his claim that “the council revealed later though that the requests to black out the windows had not come solely from the Muslim community”? He doesn’t give one. And even if he had, it wouldn’t render the Daily Mail story featured in the Jihad Watch post false, as that story only asserted that the windows were blacked out because Muslims complained. The unsupported claim that not only Muslims complained doesn’t mean that Muslims didn’t complain, or that the windows weren’t blacked out because of the Muslim complaints, or in any other way render the story inaccurate.
So ListVerse’s Morris M. declares that one must provide “sources or it didn’t happen,” and then quotes an unsourced assertion from an opinion piece to declare a story false, even though that assertion wouldn’t show the story to be false in any case.
It is indeed true that “the Online Media Is Lying To You” — and Morris M. and his ilk are doing so even as they claim to be clearing up those lies.
The point is not that Morris M. or ListVerse are important. The point is that Leftist media outlets lie to us in this manner frequently — even and perhaps especially as they claim to be debunking the inaccurate stories of those whom they fear and hate.
Who watches the watchmen indeed?
Peter says
There is no “free press,” if the press and media wear ideological blinders, and are incapable of logical, rational, objective, reasoned, skeptical, hard research, investigative, fact and evidence-based thinking or reporting. The case of reporting on Islam-related topics is particularly revealing. Thus, the media and press can no longer be regarded as “watchers.”
mortimer says
Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for your analysis about how Islamic news is addressed. In my opinion, journalists are WAY out of their depth on the topic of Islam.
For that reason, Muslims are getting a free ride, because most journalists are totally INADEQUATE in their acquaintance with Islam.
They come to Islam with unexamined presuppositions of the MULTICULTURAL KIND. They THINK they can approach Islam as they approach any other topic. They THINK that Muslims tell the truth (Muslims use taqiyya.) They THINK Muslims are on the same side as us (Muslims are at war with us, with our jahiliyya-infideldom). Journalists are definitely not trying hard enough to learn about Islam. They haven’t even put in the MINIMUM effort to understanding a hugely complex field of study: ISLAMISM…political Islam and jihad.
The reason that journalists are not being ADVERSARIAL with Muslims is because they ARE UNABLE to do so and their EDITORS don’t find journalists who are GROUNDED in Islamic studies who adequately understand the issues and DO THE JOB of being ADVERSARIAL.
Thomas Friedman of the New York Times is one of the rare journalists who has a very good grasp of the religious, tribal and historical issues haunting Islam. There are only a handful of journalists who are capable and prepared to interview Muslims.
Most journalists AND THEIR EDITORS are letting us down. (I mostly blame the editors for not doing their job of finding the specialist journalists needed to report on Islam.)
Shane says
The left controls almost all of our colleges and most of our high schools where they indoctrinate our children into the Cult of Liberalism. One of the core values of Liberalism is that all religions are equal, and that Islam is no more violent than Christianity. Of course, to liberal atheists, all religions are equally bad. It is hard to get any sense into a liberal’s brain as their liberal belief system is their religion, and they are just as fanatical of their liberal religion as Muslims are about Islam.
Papa Whiskey says
“Morris M.” may not have the integrity to give his last name, but a sentence from his screed reveals his nationality. “The Mail have a track record of making stories up, something that frequently gets them into hot water with the UK’s Press Complaints Commission.” An American would write “The Mail has.”
ECAW says
It’s true that in Britain we tend to think of organisations as groups of people rather than things in their own right so we would most likely say “The Mail have…”, “The England team have:::” or “The Police have…”.
On the other hand he writes “math” rather than “maths” and “leaped” rather than “leapt”. Perhaps we’re looking for a suspect who has spent time on both sides of the Atlantic.
Well done to Robert Spencer for laying an ambush in the old Jihad Watch link.
Joanne Harding says
Listverse? First time hearing about it. Reading through a couple “articles” it is easy to see that it is another website written by grade – C high school students. Though like Gawker et all they inflate clicks by automatic page refreshing and then each writer has a number of dummy accounts that they use to support each others narratives. The advertisers haven’t caught on to this scheme but they will. As far as “Morris M” anyone that declines to provide their full given name as it appears on their birth certificate is a coward, plain and simple.
Angemon says
Ugh, Gawker. Slimy, sleazy scumbags.

“Shark-Attack” is bigoted

Gad Saad is awesome.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
So, reporting on shark attacks in Carolina is described using words like “disrespectful terms” (towards sharks) “bigotry” (towards sharks) “sharkophobia” “ugly stereotyping” (of sharks) and so on.
This is conclusive proof that the nation has gone insane. And by insane I mean totally insane. We have gone down by some kind of water-based fauna incident.
When’t the class action lawsuit gonna be filed?

Westman says
Let’s face it, the Left’s opinions and objectives constitute a mental religion. It is held in sacredness, believing that the world will be converted and peace will reign. These mental constructs arise from seeing humans as they are and formulating, in opposition, what the left thinks they should be. And compulsion is one of their tools.
In some ways this is similar to Islamic Supremacists whose allah knows best in spite of scientific knowledge and evidence to the contrary. There are still muslims insisting the world is flat, the Sun goes around the Earth, the Americans never went to the moon, yawning is from Satan, etc.
It is amazing how many similar properties are shares by the Left and Islamic Supremists.
Shmooviyet says
Amazing,
My ‘filthy’ pets, who’ve been denied rides in certain taxis, frequently yawn, particularly when waking between naps. It never occurred to me that Satan caused that. Is this proof that they’re evil?
Jay Boo says
ABC news had Keith Ellison on to explain away Hillary’s email scandal.
Muslim Congressman Ellison was livid in his victim-mongering defense of Hillary.
Shmooviyet says
Who’d a thought?
The ‘conservative Republican’ John Kasich was terribly soft on what he referred to as attacks on “the personal stuff”, i.e. emails and servers, when asked about Madame Secretary by Hannity, during an excruciating hour the day John joined the conga line last week. He was obviously uncomfortable, twitchy mouth and all. Appeared and sounded as if Kasich didn’t want to lose a longtime friend!

The sheer number of kuffar in influential places who are afflicted with Allahphrenia, make me think Allah is more powerful than I thought. Maybe I have been underestimate it’s ability to cast a net over some kuffar. Thankfully the net only has small hole so only small people are caught up in it.
Maybe psychiatric science can come up with a vaccine for small people caught in Allah’s net…It would be great if it was manufactured as a spray…

When presenting the other side of an issue is unavoidable, the spokesmen for that side of the issue are addressed in a hostile, prosecutorial manner, markedly different from the fawning treatment given to spokesmen for the favored opinions, and their positions are held up to scrutiny that claims to “debunk” them on the basis of fact but on a closer look (not that many people look more closely)
The first thing I thought of reading this essay is Spencer appearing on Hannity. Those happy segments are examples of this *not* happening. There is complexity is life; language well used is still but an honest attempt to transmit the truth through generalization. Generalizations are unavoidable because symbols are necessary to communicate.
So, Spencer or Geller on a major news entertainment outlet like Fox RINO is one of two things:
1) A necessary punching of the card into the time clock to maintain credibility, or
2) Part of a larger program to weave a tapestry that the news entertainer and his editor prefer over reality, in other words, their version of what they hope is reality.
I think it’s the former. I also think, in fact I know, that the solution to the major problems with deep roots in public discourse is the development of a generally followed practice of always accounting for the salient facts (see bold above). If that were done, for example, entirely different pictures would be presented on Islam. Same goes for political economics. Same goes for race. Same for sexism (aka genderism).
Modern democracy boils down to what can get sold on the TV set. The practice of always publicly accounting for countervailing facts, not arguments, would change all that.

Spencer writes:
Consider, for example, Friday’s glowing Boston Globe profile of prison teacher and imam Ismail Abdurrashid. Abdurrashid is an imam at the Mosque for the Praising of Allah, which was attended by the Boston jihadis who plotted to murder Pamela Geller. The Globe piece, however, is unflaggingly favorable, never once challenging Abdurrashid’s false claims or investigating what is taught in that mosque.

Is Donald Trump a Leftist? Why did Trump attack Geller and, by extension, since he was attacking the whole Garland event, why did he also attack Robert Spencer, Geert Wilders, Bosch Fawstin, and by further logical extension, the whole Counter-Jihad that stands behind the Garland event?
More significantly, perhaps: Why are so many in the Counter-Jihad unthinkingly slavishly fawning over Trump as though he has never done any wrong? I wish I had their ability to compartmentalize with a selective conscience…
voegelinian says
Spencer reports about the flaws in the reportage of this news media watchman of ListVerse, in one of his mischaracterizations of Jihad Watch:
“Race-baiting headlines” links to a five-year-old Jihad Watch post, “Talibanization of Britain: Windows blacked out to protect ‘modesty’ of Muslim women swimmers,” about how a swimming pool in Britain blacked out its windows after complaints from Muslims. Islam is not a race, so the headline could not have been race-baiting,
And Angemon asks me where I get my notion that the PC MC mainstream West, and those who participate in it on its abundant and broad sociocultural margins (such as an “Morris M.” of ListVerse) racializes the issue of the problem of Islam. Um, duh, from countless stories like this reported at Jihad Watch over the years.
Angemon says
I also told you, several times, that calling someone a racist is a handy tool to silence them precisely because most people aren’t racists, consider racism as a bad thing and as such they don’t want to be perceived as such. Of course, you saw fit to leave that out – can’t have people thinking “well, Angemon has a point there”, can you?
Red Bee says
Whether or not Morris M. is a fraud like Robert Spencer says, http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/07/who-watches-the-watchmen, the problem he addresses is real and very dangerous to the free world. What can we believe? How are we to decide what is real? How do we avoid being deceived by clever arguments, rhetoric, withholding crucial information, propaganda designed by psychologists, Photoshopping and so on?
It is impossible; the world is too complicated to get a 100% valid idea of what is going on. However, we can do the best we can. I advocate you do your own research. Keep it as simple as you can. Use your common sense. The best experiments are the most simple. Use your intelligence. Do not fall for the “expert” argument; this is the argument of pig headed baboons who know they have no arguments at all.

“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover
that there are other views.”
– William F. Buckley Jr. –
—————-
The corporazi-owned enemedia should be the first to go. They exist only to scold, nag, lecture and “caution” us about how dangerous we all are, how potentially hateful, racist, and bigotted.
It’s their job to see we are indoctrinated into the kindergarten teacher nannystate’s victim-blaming version of false morality, where we have no right to defend our selves &/or innocent others because, to them, all attacks – even counter-attacks, in self-defense – are equally wrong.
They pretend that self defense is an example of two wrongs not making the second one right.
Like all criminally negligent infantile delinquent idolaters, they ignore cause and effect rationality to pretend all mere effects are their own causes, and that all generalizations are actually new and real ‘things’ with new properties (like ‘national security’) in order to lead us into complacency, deferring our right to think for our selves, downloaded onto the fearful group-might-makes-rights paradigm of leftist gangsters everywhere: that we need them as our crisis-relief management expert salesmen “leaders” because cause-and-effect life’s much too complex for us to understand, and it’s an absolute fact that there are absolutely no absolute facts, and so, since all facts are really only opinions anyway, their subjective, fact-free opinions are the diversely opposite equals to those silly Conservative’s objective facts.
Besides, there’s no money in solutions, so all merely temporary problems with permanent solutions must be spun into permanent crieses with only band-aid ‘therapies’ available; i.e:
“Please Give Generously – AGAIN!”
The entertainment media also feels it must resort to fraudulent victim-blaming slander in order to defend islam – first, to prevent “racists” from holding muslim criminals to account; and so, to do so, they must invent forged, false examples of non-muslim “terrorists,” the actions of which, (since they are from non-terrorist cultural backgrounds, like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhists and Hindus) simply cannot be blamed on their respective indoctrinating cultures or religions. For instance, a recent episode of the new TV show, “Almost Human,” had some faked all-white “religious” terrorists take over an office tower and kill the hostages, so they could work their favorite critical thinking logical fallacy, the Argumentum Tu Quoque, into the script [i.e: “Crime isn’t crime and islam isn’t evil because we (i.e: you) all do it, too! Whee!”] – as if by merely comparing two or more non-related wrongs, one of more of them could be somehow magically transformed into a right! To dilute real-world factual examples of incessant muslim crime with false portrayals of whites engaged in exactly the same sorts of crimes! This is nothing less than illegal, fraudulent criminal public deception, pretending “All religions are fundamentally terrorist in nature” so they can get us all to blame all religions, in stead of only islam! The enemedia are willing accessories & criminal enablers of the islamic crime gang! Their deliberate alibi-excuse-making cover-up choices for these crimes define themselves as guilty complicit and culpable in all such future crimes!
…
And the media themselves are criminally-negligent delinquents who pretend they can have the subjective right to make stuff up (“because all facts are really only opinions anyway!”) without the responsibility to report the objectively factual truth.
Are they correct in assuming this?! What is their legal mandate (if there is one)? Because fraud (lying) is the most basic form of theft (it’s the theft of the Truth) and theft IS crime!
As someone else recently noted: “The Fourth Estate have now become our Fifth Columnists!”
;-(
The media knows the truth but if they announce the truth the story ends (but if they lie they can incite people giving themselves another month or two of new, related stories). Whee!
The enemedia are globalist corporazi-owned scum who only exist to distract the masses from seeing the truth festering beneath them.
The enemedia are lying criminal frauds and should be jailed for public deception.
Beyond that, the enemedia only exists to ask all the wrong questions all the time, so their owners won’t have to fret about the rest of us thinking about the answers to the real questions!
Keeping the muzzie masses ignorant of their own hate-crime death-threat canon seems to be the self-imposed mission of most of the enemedia these days – it’s most likely why they keep lying about islam being a “great religion of peace” all the time! That, and their inherent racism, of course!
So it’s the not-so-secret duty of the authorities and enemedia to scold us for being hateful racist bigots all the time, so their slander can keep us off-balance and on the defensive, thus not giving us enough time to see what they’re really all up to – which is simply selling us all out for only their own personal gains, by selling our countries off to our enemies, (by buying their money,) running up their tabs in our names.
The media, like most politicians, are lazy criminals who want to have their rights without responsibilities, so they will always sacrifice your rights in order to remain irresponsible.
And of course the media acquires wealth and ad revenue by creating and perpetuating crises to scare people, and so creates crises by blaming the victims while ignoring the real crises and consequences of ignoring them they themselves enable.
Bottom line:
The enemedia presstitutes’ jobs should be to do simple, basic research into the subjects they pontificate on.
When they put up their fact-free opinions in stead of those obvious facts, they are committing the CRIME of slanderous, victim-blaming criminally-negligent FRAUD.
With islam, they are all willing accessories and complicit enablers of this ancient yet ongoing extortion-racket CRIME-syndicate fraudulently advertised as the “religion” of islam, and as such they are aiding and abetting these “holy mobsters'” human-trafficking slavery and murder crimes.
They should be arrested charged indicted tried and sentenced for treason.
Uncle Vladdi says
Muslims prefer to live under tyranny. Muslims have been known to work for food, and won’t notice if and when their owners turn off the electricity to control the rest of us.
The banksters have always supported both sides in all conflicts, because then said conflicts end, the losers owe the winners AND the banksters, and the banksters are still owed by the winners, too… AND the winners will borrow MORE from the banksters, for “Reconstrcution” to rebuild what the conflict has destroyed.
Remember how well “Reconstruction” went for the Southern rebel states after the American Civil War?! Why would any sane American want to inflict that on others?!
Banksters (being “fractional reserves” counterfeiters, and all) don’t need nor want your money – they want you to be endlaved by the illusion of control they have over you, when you believe you are indebted to them because you owe them.
Also, it seem pretty obvious that the many posters defending them here seem to think banksters are all Jewish (or other varieties of white Westerners in general) when in fact there are tons of Chinese and yes, even Arab muslim banksters in on it.
CAPISCE?
