Just a Thought...
How Quickly Some Forget
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor
So some interesting figures as per a brand new CBS poll have been released that show just how clueless those on the left really are when it concerns islam for while 63% of Republicans see
islam as aggressive and violent, only one in seven Democrats see islam
as more violent than Christianity or Judaism. And some wonder why we are
in the trouble we're in...sigh. It should be 100% across the board if one does a reality check...sad how quickly people forget 9/11, beheadings, stonings, torture, etc. all
committed in the name of allah and islam.
Coverage of attacks downplays Islam, experts say

enforcement officials respond to a shooting at an Orlando club. The
attack was widely reported for says as a vendetta against gays by a gay
man, a narrative the later proved false.
President Donald Trump has been severely critical of the news media
for doing what he called a poor job of covering instances of Islamic
terrorism not only in the U.S. but around the world.
The White House released a list late Monday of 20 terrorist attacks “executed or inspired” by ISIS, many of which Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said were not give sufficient coverage by the national media.
“You have seen what happened in Paris and Nice. All over Europe, it’s happening,” Trump told military leaders at the U.S. Central Command. “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that.”
One of the first news agencies to counter Trump’s allegations was the BBC, which on Tuesday ran a compilation of all its stories about the terrorist events on the administration’s list.
But as many terrorism experts told WND, it’s not the amount of coverage given to a specific event that counts but rather the type of coverage.
A classic example of that can be found by comparing and contrasting the coverage that two news agencies – WND and the BBC – gave to a brutal machete attack at the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant one year ago in February 2016 that left four patrons wounded, one critically.
