Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Islamophobia” reporter hired at Buzzfeed

Dec 14, 2016 9:37 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Let’s hope BuzzFeed is hiring reporters to also cover specific incidences of Christianophobia, Judeophobia, blackophobia, Asianophobia, Hinduphobia (and the list goes on).

The report says it right: “Get ready for more fake news…..” Maybe BuzzFeed could hire Yasmin Seweid as a consultant.

“BuzzFeed Hires Islamophobia Reporter”, by Maggie McKneely, MRC Newsbusters, December 13, 2016:

Get ready for more fake news – BuzzFeed is hiring!

In the eyes of ultra-liberal website BuzzFeed, Islamophobia in America is a legitimate beat that needs covering, and they are ready to hire a journalist dedicated solely to making sure the plight of marginalized Muslims is reported. The site recently posted a job listing for “someone to join our ambitious national news team to cover Muslim life and Islamophobia in America.”

The job listing specifies that “this is not a job for a beginner” and that “creativity in the way you think about a beat” is a requirement. Because many stories will appear to be a reaction to radical Islamic terrorism; but an “experienced” reporter will know that they are just more examples of the rampant epidemic of Islamophobia, spurred on by the election of Donald Trump.

The new reporter will also work alongside their colleagues that report on anti-Christian and Conservative actions – oh wait.

The new job posting comes from a website that has a history of mocking anything that the Left deems to be “privileged.” The site ran a “listicle” of all of the reasons white people are a menace. And last week, BuzzFeed released a hit piece on the HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines for attending a church known for its stance on homosexuality: the typical Christian stance that marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman.

BuzzFeed may be expanding its ability to paint America as a hateful country that loves persecuting minorities…

    When more are accused of islamophobia, to the point that it is obviously not personal and a trick, other tricks will happen.
    Islam is truth for lies and lies for truth.

    I’m a black guy but organizations like buzzfeed are creating divisions among people.

    What motivates BuzzFeed in hiring an islamophobia journalist is dhimmiphilia.

      PS:
      However, BuzzFeed does show a cartoon of Mohamed:

        Well, they are braver than many. But this does not make them actual Anti-Jihadists–after all, they included cartoons from Der Sturmer in their list of influential cartoons…

    This is actually a good thing as it will help to shed light on the absurd notion of “Islamophobia” which as we know is a term that is intended to stifle free speech in accordance with Islamic Slander Laws.

    Consider the following:

    1)The propagandist that takes on this slot will probably have easily identified relationships with Muslim Brotherhood linked organizations like MSA, CAIR etc. These can be identified by sites like JW. This will be all the more easy to expose when these organizations are finally banned by Congress.

    2)The propagandist that takes on this slot will be under tremendous pressure to manufacture and publish a regular cadence of “islamophobia” stories. This will cause many of these stories to be false or to focus on trivial events such as dirty looks etc.
    Over time interest in these stories among readers will drop off and they will become irrelevant.

    3)The propagandist will also pick up many of the fabricated Islamophobia cases which turn out to have been perpetrated by Muslims. The fact that these stories will come from a single source it will make it easy to verify them. It will also make it easy to keep statistics/data on these cases. It will also be easy to note when they are not retracted.

    4)The fake news stories reported by this propagandist will likely follow 1 or 2 different templates (or narratives) and will likely continually rely on a small set of CAIR representatives as sources. This will become obvious over time and easy to expose to the general public.

    5)This strategy will clearly align Buzzfeed with the forces of the global Jihad (even more that it is now). This is a stupid idea from a basic business sense and will back fire on them.

    6)Conservative groups can use the more absurd stories to target Buzzfeed’s sponsors when a particularly absurd story runs. This has recently been successfully done by Brietbart with respect to Kellogg and perhaps we will see more of this? A concentration of such reporting at Buzzfeed makes such a targeted boycott approach easier to accomplish.

    “creativity in the way you think about a beat” is a requirement. does that mean the reporter will have to –
    a) make it up?
    b) elaborate and expand on what really happened to make it sound and look worse?
    c) misquote anything that is said to ensure it looks like Islamophobia?
    d) all of the above?

      Good questions, Keith.

    Bold move by BuzzFeed. The pro-Islam movement was dealt a blow by Trump’s defeat of Huma’s former boss, the architect of the Iran nuke “deal”, the Cause was dealt a big blow a month ago when poor Hillary went down. So they need to pump up the volume. Trouble is, what’s this new reporter gonna do all day long, work on his raquetball game?

    Summed up nicely 🙂

    Is that a site for Brain Dead kids?
    I’ve been into computers since the 70’s
    Long before “Home” machines even arrived!
    Never even heard if Buzz Feed!

    It’s hard to explain how I feel about Buzzfead, so I won’t bother e4xplaining it…

    “Blackaphobia and Hinduphopia”- good one!

    Buzzfeed? Is that like where I can take drugs for free? Not a fan.

    A relevant, substantial, rational and verifiable fear of Islam?- Yes and I think I’ll give Buzzfeed some material to work from maybe starting with say….9/11.

    I wonder if the new reporter whoever it will be turns out to be a Russian. Just saying.
