My latest in PJ Media:
On Wednesday night at Shaarei Tefila synagogue in Los Angeles, a man showed up at a Sukkot holiday concert, looked around, and said: “I’m a real Muslim, I’ll show you what real terrorism looks like.” About twenty minutes later, the man returned in a car. According to The Algemeiner, he “allegedly accelerated down a one-way alley into a crowd of women and children” as the concert was ending. “The crowd of about 20 to 30 managed to jump out of the path of the vehicle before the assailant stopped short in front of a metal gate, yelled ‘f**k the Jews’ and left.” One of the most striking aspects of this entire incident is that The Algemeiner’s report is the only one you can read about it. Reuters took no notice. Neither did AP. The New York Times didn’t find it fit to print. Neither did the Washington Post, or CNN, or anyone else, including the hometown Los Angeles Times. It doesn’t fit the narrative.
The Algemeiner describes itself as “a global news destination published online and in print, serves as an independent media voice covering the Middle East, Israel and matters of Jewish interest around the world.” One would think that the establishment media giants would be interested also in this matter of “Jewish interest,” but no dice. As far as they’re concerned, Muslims are always and everywhere victims of “Islamophobia,” and stories that depict them as such are the only ones worth reporting, not ones in which Muslims victimize others.
The reality is that anti-Semitic attacks such as the one in Los Angeles Wednesday evening are far more common than incidents of anti-Muslim hatred. In 2018, there were 225 anti-Muslim hate crimes, and 896 anti-Jewish hate crimes; in 2019, there were 219 anti-Muslim hate crimes, and 995 anti-Jewish hate crimes. In 2020, anti-Muslim hate crimes decreased by 42%.
Yet ABC News gave a Muslims-As-Victims spin to all this on September 11 when it stated: “Hate crimes against Muslims rose 1617% from 2000 to 2001, according to the FBI marking some of the highest numbers of Islamophobic hate crimes ever in the U.S. But even as the country moved further from the attacks and the Muslim American population in the country grew, discrimination against this community has not waned, Pew Research Center reports.”
This kind of “journalism” is published as Jew-hatred becomes increasingly legitimized on the Left, and leads media outlets to minimize, downplay, or ignore altogether stories that they think will lead people to think ill of Islam, driving the MAGA-hatted thugs of Leftist fever dreams to commit more “Islamophobic” attacks.
There is more. Read the rest here.

A ‘Real Muslim’ Tries to Run Down a Crowd of Jews With His Car in LA, and the Media Yawns
…………..
Just appalling that so few news outlets have covered this story. The only ones I found were MSN, The Hill, and The Cleveland Jewish News.
Just an attempt to erase Jihad terror.

Gravenimage, muslim atrocities happen so often nowadays that it has got to the point that the bias media, either try to cover them up, or don’t report it at all.
I remember a few years ago here in the UK a 7 year old girl was playing in the ,park, when a muslim woman jumped out on her and slashed her throat, the little girl died.
Even though the story was covered, the media played it down, and no way did it get the coverage it deserved. That is the world we are living in today.

Just horrifying, John–agreed.
That so much of the MSM is trying to obfuscate and whitewash these Jihad horrors is appalling.

I’m starting to think what’s really desperately needed is a news channel (on tv) that reports on Islam and Muslims 24/7.
The enemies of freedom will try to get it shut down as they’re already censoring on mainstream media, but so long as it remains independent and has lawyers to defend their freedom to speak freely then it will remain active.
The fact is that Islam is too large a monster to fight individually. It will require our leaders, media and most of the population to be on the same side against Islam. That can only happen if people are warned of the danger then naturally we’ll unite together.
This is exactly what the Leftists and Muslims want to prevent, because it’ll make their goal to conquer us that much more difficult.
They failed in Iran, which used to be more aligned with the West and was more pro-freedom, until Dhimmi Carter broke the country and gave it to the Iranian version of the Taliban and now it’s a hellhole like all other Islamic states.
That’s a lesson for us, if it could happen to 57 other states, then Muslims can also conquer our countries also. Knowledge is the key to defeating this terrible enemy.

Fitna,
You are correct.
Perhaps start with a website If that has its own servers like Frankspeech. com.
