There was a time when journalists actually did report the news. That was SOP. Evidently, those days have passed. Now there appears to be an atmosphere of political correctness that is infecting everyone everywhere. Scary. But what is actually motivating the media to NOT report the news? Could it be:
A. If you say anything bad about a Muslim you will be branded as a racist and could lose your job. or
B. If you say anything bad about a Muslim, they might come to your place of work and shoot you or possibly harm your family.
What is the thinking of the media in this case so that they are so reluctant to report the news?

We need to promote videos like this wit Facebook and Twitter. The majority of the American and Canadian public is clueless about the threat that mass muslim immigration poses to our countries and our way of life.

First saw the story here, and on Pamela Geller’s site, Sunday afternoon, and as I’ve got some n.p.c. family in Calgary – one really p.o.ed cousin with two Somali muslim apprentices forced on him – I texted, “Okay Leo. Two shooters. Two apprentices. You in Ten X last night?”
He texted back next day, cause apparently the Calgary media wasn’t reporting names AT ALL, and nobody could seem to find them.
Asked me for the names, and to submit to Calgary media.
Sent it to Gerry Forbes at CJAY92 now he follows me?! on twitter.
Western Canadiansays
The names were reported on this website, quoting Calgary sources Sunday evening. Have no idea what you are talking about, and neither do you.
Western Canadiansays
Local radio stations broadcast the names the same day.
Dansays
So you say.
Talked to family.
They asked I send info.
Plus the station got back to me.
So.
Far as I’m concerned…
You’re the one who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Which is why you’re hiding behind anonymity.
Plus liberal media buries the names at the end cause studies show, of those that read past the headlines, most never do more than the first paragraph.

There’s a media conspiracy in the West it seems to play down and obfuscate the actions, motives and identities of muslim jihadists in civic settings. The media babble endlessly about Syria and how many planes are being sent from the USA, UK, Russia and France to bomb Daesh, but it’s a very different approach for incidents on home soil.
Recently, here in England, a jihadi nut job proceeded to attack a stranger’s neck in the London Underground with a knife. He was trying to behead him in the traditional manner recommended by good ol’ Moe – “strike the unbelievers’ necks”. He botched the job and was arrested, but all the BBC said was that a victim had received neck wounds, NOT what the real nature and intention of the crime was.
You may have heard about this in USA and Canada because of some idiot onlooker being recorded as saying “You ain’t no Muslim, bruv”, a sentiment immediately pounced on and repeated by all media and politicians whose mission is to convince us retards that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’. [ I got so sick of hearing that lie parroted by our numbskull Prime Minister that I sent a message to 10 Downing Street informing him that he was wrong, and that he should read Robert Spencer’s “The Truth about Muhammed”.]
Much more media attention was paid to what this onlooker (a rather dim non-muslim in no position to judge) said to the perpetrator as he lay on the ground screeching about ISIL and very much a typical muslim following allah’s commands to the letter. His horrible crime and its motivation was brushed to one side in the rush of politicians and media to make out that what he did had nothing to do with REAL Islam or REAL muslims. The victim didn’t get a mention.
There was a similar attitude taken when a 1000 muslim men, many if not all recent migrants, attacked hundreds of white German women on NY Eve. The BBC played it down by waiting till the last para of the story to mention that the attackers were BELIEVED to be of Arabic or ME origin. You don’t say? – I’d already guessed what and who they were.
They must think we all came down in the last rain shower.
Western Canadiansays
I have the daily papers in my office that prove you are a liar. You make me sick, you are as honest and trustworthy as a devout muslim. Both were named as ‘mohamed’ within 24 hours on 660, the news channel, and the papers both named them as well. There are enough cases of stupidity and dishonesty in the media, so someone like you making up lies to make yourself feel like part of the crowd, is truly pathetic.
And by the way, ‘Dan’, you are not telling us who you, an habitual liar, are, either.
Western Canadiansays

Ezra Levant Rocks ! Awesome as Always ! I remember the days when all you worried about in Calgary was Perhaps running into a gang of Natives during Stampede Week . Back in those days most farmers and ranchers had all kinds of guns around ,Amazingly ; we had very few shooting incidents back in those days !!! And we certainly didn’t have to worry about Imported islamic Trash , who pride themselves in Inflicting the Most Savage And Barbaric Inhumane Acts upon Other Human Beings in the Name Of some self proclaimed Prophet warlord who ENJOYED SEX WITH PRE PUBESCENT GIRLS ! Some of us Southern Albertan’s also grew up listening to SOUTHERN FRIED ROCK ! And a lot of us really love that GREAT LYNERD SKYNYRD SONG ” GIVE ME BACK MY BULLETS ” P.S. I LOVE THE REBEL !!!
Western Canadiansays
The names were made known about a day after the event (anybody saying anything to the contrary, is full of @@it), it took longer to name the victim of the shooting, who has nothing to do with the thugs who could have murdered him…. The duo appears to be involved in drug trade and the like, which does NOT rule out it being a terrorist attack…. No word on any islamic battle cries being heard, but that means little to nothing….
Western Canadiansays
Calgary papers are both early morning, the radio broadcast their names the same day.
Dansays
Well W.C.
From my friends in Calgary, it sounds like they were Muslim guns who were pissed the infidel women in Ten X were telling them to take a hike.
I spent several years in Muslim countries, Maldives, Oman, Egypt and Turkey, listening to the local men telling me western men have lousy home lives cause we didn’t know how to beat our women.
Also have friends and family in Brooks, where a ton of Muslims work at the slaughter plant, and the said they yearn for the days when all Brooks had to worry about were the drug traffickers.
The Muslims treat the local women like garbage, and the women are SCARED, and it’s becoming more and more unsafe for women to be out later at night.
And Brooks is only about ten thousand people.
So I’m going with the Calgary Muslims chucking a bird cause some infidel woman told him to take a hike.
Caio, troll.
Western Canadiansays
Your ‘friends’ are as trustworthy and believable as your ‘relatives’. You are totally full of @@@t, so feel free to shut up, and keep your ignorance to yourself. Again, there is enough vile and stupid behaviour by muslims, EVERYWHERE, that there is no need to make things up. Except for people as pathetic as you. Meat processing is damned hard work, and most muslims don’t do damned hard work unless they absolutely have to, and then only until they split….. The staff turnover is extremely high, to the point that workers are brought in daily by bus, ,from other communities in every slaughter house I have heard of. Oh, by the way, you are only out by 30% on the population of Brooks.
Dansays
Now now.
Temper, temper, temper.
And grammar, grammar, grammar.
Regarding the population of Brooks, why would “About ten thousand” being out by 30% be an issue?
The actual population number has nothing to do with my comment except to give readers an approximation of size, so “about” is close enough, but, okay. If you feel that’s an important point to deal with then…
A 2015 census says Brooks is 14,185, so the population is 40% higher than 10,000, not 30%.
But does that number include the surrounding agricultural community?
Irrigation farms are more densely packed than dry land farms and I’d have to assume the census included with a “Brooks” mailing address.
I would have thought it unimportant, as most will still think the place is SMALL.
Dansays
Oh and one last thing, W.C.
There wouldn’t be a “Mohamed” somewhere in your REAL name, would there?
Dansays
Just thought of one more last, last thing to mention.
The difference between your 30% and my 40% comes from which way the numbers are presented.
If you figure 30%, you must be saying the pop is 14,185, as subtracting 30% makes “about” 4200 difference.
Where my 40% comes from “about” 10,000, where “about” 4000 (40%) is added.
Unless of course my “about” 10,000 was actually 11,000.
Or maybe it meant 9000 if you just wanted to take in actual city residents.
So the numbers could swing from “about” 12,000 to “about” 15,000.
And change.
Just so you don’t start calling me semi-mathematical too.
Ta.
Western Canadiansays
No, mohamed is not one of my names. I have no doubt that @sshole is the one most commonly used by those who know you, as it suits you so well. I loath islam even more than I loath low grade bigots like you. I don’t make decisions based on nothing, or a wish to try to justify hatred, as you so obviously do. And it disgusts me, that those, like you, who fail to uphold little things like standards of evidence, should be so happy to drag the most vital fight humanity is currently facing, down to the level of common and ignorant bigots.
Western Canadiansays
Oh, and by the way, your weird use of common language suggests that you are not a Canadian, so any comments you have about others….. should be kept to yourself.
Dansays
I don’t get it.
You SEEM to be against radical Islam.
Yet your entire reason for calling me a bigot is based on the fact that people from Calgary asked me where I found out the names because they couldn’t find them in the Calgary media, to start with. (Pardon me for ending a sentence with a preposition there.)
And instead of just taking pot shots at me, you say everybody I know, family and friends, have to be buck toothed hillbillies too.
As you have no evidence to back such a statement up, it’s just more mud slinging, and now you even think I’m not Canadian because you can’t seem to comprehend basic English, when you are the one who’s already demonstrated you can’t construct grammatically correct sentences.
As you have no “standards of evidence” to come to such conclusions, and no logical line of reasoning either, and the fact that you’re using some foul language clinches it.
Dude.
You’re a bigoted liberal.
By the way, and obviously I can’t prove this but, I spent several years in various Muslim countries, a lot longer than some two week tourist vacation when everybody’s nice to your tourist $$ and then you go home, so I got to KNOW the culture.
Had run ins with three different pirates, all in MUSLIM waters; had to listen to Muslims screaming “Die America die” and “We’re going to cut your throats;” had to listen to so called “moderates” tell me western men are messed up because we don’t beat our women; and I’ve seen anti Semite propaganda videos, in Egypt, that Jews cut the throats of their own children to drink their blood for Passover.
A bigot is someone who does not like other people for no reason other than a difference of color or culture.
I have lived in majority Muslim culture for extended periods of time, so I am making informed comments about them.
The only people who call me an islamophobic bigot are liberals, usually in denial, so…
Ta.
Western Canadiansays
“I don’t get it.”
You have made that very obvious. You don’t get much of anything.
“You SEEM to be against radical Islam.”
I am against islam, period. That you put the ‘radical in front of it, speaks volumes, all pertaining to your ignorance of the subject. DEVOUT muslims, familiar with their unholy books, are the problem. While radical has a root meaning, you don’t appear to be aware of it, having fallen into a common misapplication of the term.
“Yet your entire reason for calling me a bigot is based on the fact that people from Calgary asked me where I found out the names because they couldn’t find them in the Calgary media, to start with. (Pardon me for ending a sentence with a preposition there.)”
And being a citizen of Calgary, I knew within hours their names, from both papers and the radio. Your people seem to not listen to NEWS sources. I do, constantly, and critically.
I call you a bigot, as you do not require PROOF of it being terrorism, and just assume that it is. It might well PROVE to be, in which case, we will be, gasp!, in agreement.
A bigot is someone who judges does not judge individuals, but groups. Not right, not fair, not my style.
“The only people who call me an islamophobic bigot are liberals, usually in denial, so…
Ta.”
Not a liberal, except in the classical sense, where conservatives are the guardians of liberty and individual rights.
As for being against islam, my posts from several years on this board, prove it.

I am against islam, period. That you put the ‘radical in front of it, speaks volumes, all pertaining to your ignorance of the subject. DEVOUT muslims, familiar with their unholy books, are the problem. While radical has a root meaning, you don’t appear to be aware of it, having fallen into a common misapplication of the term.
“Yet your entire reason for calling me a bigot is based on the fact that people from Calgary asked me where I found out the names because they couldn’t find them in the Calgary media, to start with. (Pardon me for ending a sentence with a preposition there.)”
And being a citizen of Calgary, I knew within hours their names, from both papers and the radio. Your people seem to not listen to NEWS sources. I do, constantly, and critically.
I call you a bigot, as you do not require PROOF of it being terrorism, and just assume that it is. It might well PROVE to be, in which case, we will be, gasp!, in agreement.
A bigot is someone who judges does not judge individuals, but groups. Not right, not fair, not my style.
“The only people who call me an islamophobic bigot are liberals, usually in denial, so…
Ta.”
Not a liberal, except in the classical sense, where conservatives are the guardians of liberty and individual rights.
As for being against islam, my posts from several years on this board, prove it.

This issue has a very worrying side normally not discussed. A free society needs free press. The fact that journalists gave up their main task, is bad news to democracy itself. Without a properly informed public opinion, there cannot be free thinking, free elections, or free whatever. Democracy is dying. They should report that too.

… and just like how the Left voided the “military option” by insane ROEs. the Left can say, “See, democracy doesn’t work” by fuddling with the mechanisms of truth that is essential to democracy, as you say.

Let’s face it… anybody who buys into the bizarre, barbaricmedieval bullshit lies and criminality of islam cannot ever be trusted. Never. I don’t want any of those brain-dead cretins anywhere near the USA or Canada or Mexico (borders can leak). I am a recovered liberal myself, so I have been exposed to all their touchy, feely, caring crap until I finally woke up and became a real, honest to God Conservative, Obama hater, and a member of the NRA. Trump, Cruz or Rubio will save the country in the nick of time come Jan, 2017. I can hardly wait to wave buh-bye to the first, and I sure hope, last black, muslim, communist president of the USA. Then the rebuilding can begin.
