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

Robert Spencer video: How media bias works — a case study

Mar 13, 2018 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss an example of how the mainstream media tries to manipulate public opinion — not just in the New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN, but also in small outlets such as the Argus Leader of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in the work of its “reporter” Joe Sneve.

    Genuine investigative reporters like Dorothy Kilgallen, those willing to take real risks to find the truth no matter where it might lead, are few and far between. Sadly too many are like Sneve and his editor/s.

      Well said, Diane Harvey. And the risks today for honest journalists are very serious indeed. Michael Hastings and Andrew Breitbart both paid with their lives for what they were about to divulge. The detention of Brittany Pettibone and Lauren Southern by the UK gov’t was designed to intimidate truth-tellers. Meanwhile, the Sneves of this world continue to peddle their lies and collect their salaries.

    In journalistic parlance, spiking refers to withholding a story from publication. In many cases, spiking of stories occurs when the FACTS of the story do not COMPLY with the FAKE IDEOLOGICAL NARRATIVE of the newspaper or its owners.

    Journalists may be filing accurate, verifiable stories about Islam, but their editors fear publishing because the newspaper owners.

    This is leading to DISHONEST and INACCURATE reporting about Islam. Only the ALTERNATE MEDIA are covering Islamic stories accurately.

    Because mainstream media are afraid to be HONEST AND ACCURATE, they are losing the trust of readers. The LAMESTREAM/mainstream news outlets DESERVE to go broke, since they are giving PROPAGANDA and pro-Islamic IDEOLOGY rather than genuine, accurate news.

      You hit the nail on the head there. People have lost faith in the mainstream media. I thank the digital gods for the internet where the unfettered truth has a better chance of getting heard, unfortunately that too is now under attack. Mainstream news outlets and social media sites like FB are on board with the left’s agenda of denial and obfuscation. Their complicity in covering up islam’s criminality and anti-Americanisms is pertineer treason in my mind. Journalistically speaking the media are dishonest for the purpose of misinforming/confusing the public about islam’s criminal nature and bad intentions. They are in effect propagandists for islam, distorting the truth to make that which threatens us seem not at all threatening. Their lies are often boldly false and contradict the facts to the point of embarrassment, leftist politicians do the same. And that in large part is why Trump is our president, because he connected with the people on the deepest level with the frank truth.

        Let’s hope that Trump furthers his focus (and turn it into a laser) on the LEFT – ISLAMIST Axis
        (also known as Red-Green Axis)….

        Good that Mr Spencer engaged with Sneve about CAIR.
        But of course Sneve is a sniveling snipe for groveling at the feet of sordid SPLC.
        Smearing perpetrated by SPLC is typical of Marxist / Alinksy / anarchist tactics.

        One of the most insidious aspects of the stealthy, subversive activities the Muslim. Brotherhood calls “civilization jihad” is the collaborative partnership with the Hard
        Left that enables it. We call this partnership the “red-green axis” – the conjoining of the socialist/communist radicals and the Islamic …

          Mar 13, 2018 at 4:40 pm

          Yeah, the red-green axis. Another axis of evil. I’ve seen a book of the same name on Amazon, “The Red-Green Axis: Refugees, Immigration and the Agenda to Erase America (Civilization Jihad Reader Series) (Volume 4)” I should look into it. Thanks.

    Mr. Spencer has never shied away from defending those who are unjustly attacked by mud slingers and slanderers like Sneve or the SPLC. We live in an age where simply speaking in defense of human rights or against the violence of a certain “religion” can get you fired, ostracized, or murdered. It’s beyond commendable that Spencer is willing to publicly step forward in their defense and point out the obvious injustice of it all. Our leftist politicians and media are constantly defaming and lying about good people like Spencer because he dares to speak the candid truth about the violence and crimes of islam. And the fact that they try so hard to defame him while ignoring the facts only makes themselves look that much worse. All of us who have a modicum of moral decency know that islam is rotten to the core, as it promotes bigotry and violence for ignorant superstitious reasons. I am supremely grateful to have people like Spencer, Geller, and Wilders doing the dirty work for me. I don’t have their kind of fortitude and brilliance, but I am blessed with enough sense to appreciate the fact that they do.

        I love and adore Brigitte Gabriel. She’s hot and intelligent, and tough as nails too. I should be more involved than I am, I admit with some shame. But it’s hard to help everyone who’s doing good work in fighting islam’s criminal agenda. If I give to one then the others go with out. I do the best I can. I speak out and give when I can. And you’re right, I am “well meaning.” I know the dangers of islam and how it threatens America and world peace. Islam truly is based on retarded, barbaric ideas that have no place in civilized society. Sorry if that offends some, but the facts support my belief. I shouldn’t have to apologize for defending human rights against a barbaric religious system. I’m very disappointed to see so many in high places turn a blind eye to islam’s ideology of hate and bigotry, the Vatican is one example of this. We need more heroes like Spencer defending liberty and human rights. I don’t have hero qualities myself, but I’m proud to say I have the good sense to support those who do. God bless them.

    The document that you may have sent him(my guess is HLF trail conclusion) will be a reality check against the massive muslim media and marketing organizations that like Council on American Relations that was created to protect the information found in the Quran and sharia law from being analyzed correctly that may harm the image of the peaceful title of sharia/ Islam. More like a warfare doctrine that a trial examined, exposed and tied to Hamas…that the SPLC, rejects…to now protect itself and influence the media to be silent.That would be my guess or opinion. Tolerance and civil rights has a totally unique meaning when dealing with the doctrine that wants freedom from man-made laws and may be subversive to our Constitution.

      Holy Land Foundation trial had been gutted when it came to CAIR, due to intervention by Obama’s AG Eric “hold on there!” Holder.

      Ibrahim itace says “…because he the father of lies…”

      Ibrahim my friend you are correct in saying that Satan is the “father of lies” because that is the title that Jesus gave him… However ironically, the koran describes Allah as the best deceiver there is, (khayru al-makireenaa) liar who is not above using the same evil and wicked schemes of his opponents.

      For example, the koran calls Allah a makr, in fact the best makr there is:
      “…But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for ALLAH IS THE BEST OF DECEIVERS (Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena)!..”S. 3:54

      According to Jesus, God is Good and Holy… There is no deception or guile found in Him.

      Knowing this now, would you still worship this great deceiver?

      • Ibrahim itace muhammed says

        Mar 14, 2018 at 12:38 pm

        Mr blitz2,you have got It wrong. what you Call holy spirit is exactly the Satan Who is thé father of lies and deceptions. khairul makireen within the context never connotes thé best of deceivers. It means the Best in countering plots or evil plans.

        • John Hawk says

          Mar 14, 2018 at 3:37 pm

          Hello again, Ibrahim. Remember our little chat about Shaitan Muhammad? You know, the psychopath who said he was possessed (and he was), also that Satan pees in your ears, sleeps in your nose, and farts when he hears the call to prayer? Also, that the sun sets in a muddy pool? You know, that genius? Hard to tell who is more ridiculous, Shaitan Muhammad for spouting such nonsense, or you for believing it.
