The establishment propaganda media has jumped on the Quebec mosque shooting as an incidence of Trump-inspired “Islamophobia.” This hoax furthered their narrative, so the Daily Beast jumped on it. Meanwhile, back in the real world, the killers screamed “Allahu akbar,” and one of them was named Mohamed, making this likely to be a case of Muslims killing other Muslims whom they deemed insufficiently Islamic, in accord with Islam’s death penalty for heresy and apostasy.
“FAKE NEWS: Daily Beast Falls for Quebec Mosque Attack Hoax, Blames ‘White Supremacists,’” by Charlie Nash, Breitbart, January 30, 2017:
The Daily Beast fell for fake news spread by a Reuters parody Twitter account on Sunday, publishing a hoax that claimed to expose the recent Quebec mosque shooters as two “white supremacists.”
“Police said two suspects were in custody after the attack. They were identified as white supremacists “David M. J. Aurine” and “Mathieu Fornier,” according to Reuters,” wrote the Daily Beast on Sunday, unaware that their “Reuters” source was fake. “This is not the first time the mosque has suffered from a hate crime. In July, a pig’s head was left at the mosque.”
The fake account known as @ReutersBrk, which the Daily Beast sourced as “Reuters” despite the fact that it was listed as a parody account, attempted to spread the hoax that alt-right bloggers Matt Forney and Davis M.J. Aurini (both names spelled differently in the hoax) were responsible for the attack, using both of their pictures in their tweet.
The account, which has spread numerous other hoaxes in the past, has since been suspended by Twitter.
After being made aware of the fake news that they had published, the Daily Beast corrected their article and added the following editors note at the end of the piece:
Editor’s note: This piece originally stated that Reuters reported the names of the assailants. However, the information came from a Reuters parody social-media account. We regret the error and have deleted the information.
The Daily Beast, as well as various other mainstream media journalists who fell for the obvious hoax, were mocked on Twitter following the incident….
Other journalists who initially fell for the hoax on social media included Yahoo News’ Garance Franke-Ruta, VICE News’ Tamara Khandaker, and managing editor of the Interpreter, James Miller, who claimed that “its harder to tell,” what’s real and what’s fake when he’s using his phone….
As the Daily Caller reports, “The Daily Beast is a frequent critic of the ‘fake news’ phenomenon and has published several articles denouncing fabricated stories as a threat to American democracy.”…

the daily beast is all fake news

The bloggers in Quebec have said this is a SECTARIAN dispute between Shi’ite and Sunnite Muslims who each believe the other group is heretical… since they believe the ‘other’ group has ‘changed’ the doctrine of Islam and should be executed for heresy.
— The hadith, tradition and legend about Muhammad and his followers used as a basis of Sharia, tells of some atheists who were brought to “’Ali and he burnt them. The news of this reached Ibn Abbas who said: ‘If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostate forbade it . . . I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Apostate, ‘Whoever changed his [Islamic] religion, then kill him’.”
— According to hadith, a special reward in Paradise is reserved for the killer of apostates

They were so desperate that it was committed by conservative white men, that I’m sure out of control euphoria clouded all rational thought.
Shmooviyet says
Yep!
The DB was peeing its pants at the notion of ‘mosques suffering at the hands of white supremacists’ and couldn’t wait to get out their own message.

Exactly what happened with the Boston marathon bombing which several moron libs blamed on the Tea Party before the suspension ts were known.
dragazao says
Is anyone surprised with this? They are so eager to find an islamophobic crime, that anything will do. Plus, the media has a timing that excludes rational thinking, stop to reflect, etc. Today’s news are all about “sound bites”.
efoc says
My approach with the news now is to wait a long time until the facts eventually get out. All the social media commotion before then is likely to be either fake news, sensationalised hysteria and misleading information.
Westman says
The fake-hoax media: “We did not lose our credibility while losing all objectivity during the Presidential Campaign and continuing to chase Donald Trump with a silver stake in hand, or, being Islam-violence deniers!”
In a recent interview, a journo-ego pronounced, “Trump should not make war on the media because the media always wins”. What a dummy – in today’s instant-connection world, the “net” forgets nothing and, ultimately, the truth wins. Every biased or fabricated story is another nail in the media’s coffin.
Shmooviyet says
The jerk who said that must be too young to remember Dan Rather and the NBC guy (whose name escapes me now–oops, how embarrassing.)
El Cid says
Boy Justin in his innocence called it “terrorism”.
Will the Mass Media be able to put the Genie back in the bottle and call it “gun violence” or Islamophobia?
His simplicity did us all a service. Yes, Justin, this is the face of terrorism.
miriamrove says
Muslims killing Muslims. Nothing new here folks. They started killing each other the day their murderous and pedophile prophet died. M
efoc says
Exactly. The Ridda wars – also known as the Wars of Apostasy – are testament to this fact.

First of all, the Daily Beast is part of the “bad loser” gang, and if there are no news events, they’ll make one. It satisfies their hunger for “gotcha” news, fake or otherwise, it doesn’t matter.
They just crave to vent the fact that they are stalwart caretakers of what their consumers need to keep their “Gotcha” watch with an uninterrupted record in their one-way minds. Kindergarten children behave more decently than that!
I wish all of this national, internal, chaos would stop, that effort expended by all would be converted into unity for the sake of the United States and its Constitution.
About problems and threats to the homeland, we’re all in “the same boat” no matter Left or Right.
We do have troubles requiring attention and effort of each American.
Insofar as enemies of our nation are concerned, and no one should take the matter lightly, such political differences that we Americans have are really inconsequential compared to the exterior threats which scheme against our nation and operate covertly to see America die of self-inflicted injuries.
It’s serious , it’s ever present, and it needs to be repelled or there won’t be a country left in which we can politically argue.differences. V.P. Biden said it well….”It’s time to jump in, be part of it.” He’s “Left” and I’m “Right,” but the man is a patriot and loves our homeland, and his words are well-worth keeping in mind.

Police announced there is only ONE suspect now. The one with a Québécois name and not the muslim.
Terry Gain says
I can’t find that announcement. Do you have the link. There are reports that Bissonette called the police and expressed remorse.
Terry Gain says
According to a report just one on CBC TV the police have not identified bwhich one is the shooter.
Angemon says
Oh, the irony! Or is it satire? Could very well be an Onion article: “Media outlet critic of fake news is fooled by fake news”.
DFD says
Rather beastly of them, no?

Advice: Remember Davy Crockett (I believe it was Crockett and not D. Boone) coming from the mouth of Fess Parker ( who played both men on television):
Said he: “Be sure you’re right; then go ahead.”

The police now claim one shooter was actually a witness.
Terry Gain says
There is a lot of confusion and media incompetence. The CBC announced 5 minutes ago that the police tweeted there was only one shooter. Just now CBC has a witness on and he says there were two masked men. The CBC reporter didn’t ask if both were shooters. The witness said one yelled Allahu Akbar. She didn’t ask if he had a French accent. The reporter is Suhana Meharchand.
davej says
Islam is composed of several competing sects who have been killing each other since Muhammed left this world. The correct term for these attacks is “inter-gang rivalry”.
The irony is that the “Religion of Peace” is at war with itself as well as with everyone else. Yet another reason to keep them in the Middle East instead of suburban Quebec or anywhere in North America.
Westman says
The media seems have a transmissible IVD – Islamic Violence Denial. It spreads through fear of having views different from the current mob, avoiding distraction from pet causes, the need for “power hits”, and a desperation to keep the advertiser dollars flowing.
I worked at newspapers for many years and can assure anyone that young journalists are extremely underpaid and seek the position with the intent of influencing the public’s perception about their own personal causes. Most carry the university-implanted persona of excessive liberalism and a duty to shape the world to their vision – an image that would never be found in a pro-life march or a rally to support their own nation.
No other institution has done more to accelerate the nation’s decline than the university-journo marriage.
David says
Joseph Pulitzer famously said : “Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together.”
Terry says
I did not look at any pictures of the suspected shooter or shooters. My question. If the shooter was white oe there were two and at least one was white would that not qualify as white supremacist terrorist.
That is my question.. Remember. The Boston Marathon bombers were white Muslims.
BLC says
The religion of peace strikes again.
Catherine says
It is looking like they may have been right! There is now only One susoect – Alexandre Bissonnette, no indication if he was a convert or anti- Muslim. Mohammed Khadir is now a witness only.
Roxanne says
he was an internet troll and was planning this fora long time…
DockyWocky says
Gee. When is it going to OK to spread a little B.S.?
Forget the details, its the thought that counts
David says
Bleeding hearts Canada wide are holding candle light vigils and sob sessions over the muslims killed in Quebec. Where are they when muslims massacre Christians in their churches? Where are they when Christian churches are burned down with women and children locked inside? Where are they when Priests are beheaded and otherwise murdered in their churches, during mass, by muslims? Canada is fast tracking towards becoming a caliphate.
Brian Hoff says
Than white power trump supporter carry out the attack the police in Canada. Stop believeing in your own fake new.
