My latest in PJ Media: This is what they call journalism these days. “The Biden White House has sprung its first leaks,” the Daily Beast has proclaimed triumphantly, but before you get excited at the prospect that the Beast actually intends to commit real acts of journalism at any time during the next four years, […]
BBC Cancels Negative Coverage of the Late Saeb Erekat
The BBC has for decades been consistently anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian in its coverage. The latest example of that is its coverage of the life of the late Saeb Erekat, chief negotiator for the PA since 1994, and a tireless propagandist who accused Israel of every conceivable atrocity, including the “massacre” of 500 Palestinians in Jenin […]
Here We Go: Swamp Rats Start Laying the Groundwork for Sending U.S. Troops Into Syria
My latest in PJ Media: If Donald Trump doesn’t take the Oath of Office on January 20, 2021, one principal but little-noted reason for this may be that he crossed one of the most powerful and least accountable forces in the nation: the military-industrial complex. As Trump said last September, “the top people in the […]
Yet Another Example of The Guardian’s Viciously Biased and Inaccurate Reporting on Israel
In its venomous coverage of Israel, the British newspaper the Guardian has for years been the print equivalent of Jeremy Corbyn. Recently Israel dismantled a group of seven Bedouin tents and eight animal pens on land the Bedouins did not own and that the IDF has used for live-fire practice since 1967 – that is, […]
Macron calls New York Times hack, charges media with ‘legitimizing violence’ in coverage of France’s stance on jihad
Ben Smith is a vicious far-Left ideologue whose writings suggest that believes “Islamophobes” are a far greater threat than Islamic jihadis, and so it’s no surprise that he would have nettled Macron by “legitimizing” the jihad massacres in France rather than defending the freedom of expression. But Macron himself is not consistent. If France is […]
Now We Know Why the New York Times Said the Media Declared the Election Winner
My latest in PJ Media: If anything has come clear in this strange year, it is that the Left is not stupid, it’s evil. And so, when the New York Times tweeted that it was the media’s job to declare the winner of the presidential election, people laughed at the ignorance of the miseducated millennials […]
Now for the Next Step: Articles About What Happens if the President-Elect Dies Before Taking Office
My latest in PJ Media: The Left has, in an odd way, been transparent about their entire strategy during this election. Among many other signals, Nancy Pelosi told us Trump would lead at the end of election night but would not win. And now the ink was barely dry on the media anointings of Joe […]
Muslim author: ‘It is mistakenly believed that Islam prescribes capital punishment for those who commit blasphemy’
These presentations to Western non-Muslims about how Islam really doesn’t sanction whatever abominable behavior was just committed in the name of Islam are uniformly dishonest, and designed to foster complacency in readers. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give […]
Gulf News: ‘Terrorism is most offensive to the Prophet and Islam’
I’d be happy to jump on board with this, but these presentations are always so dishonest. If they would bother to explain passages such as these, then they might have a case. But the problem is not that I am not convinced. The problem is that many Muslims are are aware of these passages and […]
Meet the New York Times’ New Jerusalem Bureau Chief
He’s only 31, but hey, who’s counting? The news about the latest New York Times expert on the Middle East, by Ira Stoll, is here: “Newly Appointed New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Has History of Mistakes in Israel Coverage,” by Ira Stoll, Algemeiner, October 29, 2020: The New York Times’ next Jerusalem bureau chief […]
AP blames France’s ‘brutal colonial past, staunch secular policies and tough-talking president’ for jihad violence
There have been reports that AP deleted its tweet of this article, but the article itself is still available. AP here reflects the common Western assumption that whenever Muslims behave violently, it is the fault of non-Muslims. In an odd manifestation of unconscious ethnocentrism and paternalism, “journalists” such as Angela Charlton assume that Muslims are […]
Time Magazine wonders if Biden has done enough to earn the Muslim vote
More Islamopandering is needed, Joe! Come on, man! This article is the usual tissue of victimhood fabrications. Trump’s “Islamophobic rhetoric” has been an unwillingness to dissemble, after the fashion of his predecessors, about the existence and magnitude of Islamic jihad terrorism. There is no “Muslim ban,” but rather a travel ban on some Muslim and […]
Defund NPR: Man Plots to Kill Biden, NPR Omits From Story That He Was Bernie Bro With Books on Islam
My latest in PJ Media: We don’t really need yet another reason to defund NPR, but here’s a new one anyway. It reported on Friday that Alexander Hillel Treisman, a 19-year-old from North Carolina, was arrested when police investigating a report that his van was abandoned “looked into the van’s windows and saw an array […]
Biden is Wrong: US Didn’t Have Good Relationship With Hitler — But the New York Times Did
My latest in PJ Media: Did the United States really have a good relationship with Adolf Hitler before he started World War II? Joe Biden made this bizarre claim during Thursday’s debate with President Trump. Trump said of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un: “North Korea, we’re not in a war. We have a good relationship. […]
Las Vegas Sun defames counter-jihad candidate, smears opposition to jihad terror as ‘malicious racism’
Just yesterday I noted that those who hate and try to silence foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women want to destroy them utterly, and not even allow them to work in other fields that have nothing to do with Islam, jihad or Sharia. Here now is yet another example. Patrick Boylan is […]
Al Jazeera: Muslims in France ‘fear rising Islamophobia’ after Muslim beheads teacher over Muhammad cartoon
Here we go yet again. This is how this narrative, which we see after every jihad massacre, works. When Muslims murder infidels, Muslims are the victims. Any measures taken in the wake of the jihad massacre to prevent Muslims from massacring infidels in the future is a sign of “collective punishment” and “Islamophobia.” Always and […]
How NPR Still Reports Falsehoods About Those Murders of Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
While listening to NPR on Sunday, October 9, 2020, at 1:25 PM Pacific Time, I heard the NPR announcer mention the “anti-Muslim killings some years ago in Chapel Hill.” This dreamy bit of misinformation, so offhandedly delivered (as if no one could disagree), startled me. And not for the first time. On February 10, 2016, […]
UK spy chief confirms jihadis remain nation’s biggest threat, media focuses on much smaller ‘far right’ threat
This article demonstrates yet again that there is a far greater demand for “right-wing extremism” than there is a supply, in order to justify the favored narrative of the political and media elites. s the British Colonel Richard Kemp said recently: “The authorities know full well that the far-right extremism is not a major threat […]
Slate Wants You to Think Columbus Was ‘Driven by Islamophobia’
My latest in PJ Media: Yes, the author of this article in the far-Left propaganda organ Slate is apparently really named Rebecca Onion, but this is not The Onion. Christopher Columbus was a “genocidal murderer,” something that Onion’s interviewee Alan Mikhail claims, to which the intrepid Onion replies: “Oh! Of course, I assumed the ‘genocidal […]
Vice News: ‘A Thousand Years Before Darwin, Islamic Scholars Were Writing About Natural Selection’
Here is yet another example of an apparently endless series: the Western intelligentsia’s ongoing efforts to compel Europeans and North Americans to be ashamed of their own culture and heritage, and to think of Islamic culture as antecedent and superior to their own. It’s just more of the West’s ongoing cultural suicide. The question that […]
