(No, it's not the US Supreme Court. There won't be any riots occurring there before Sonia Sotomayor is confirmed, but that's another story.)

Find that Riot!!
It's time to give the mainstream news media another clue in locating that major riot that took place May 22 in a major world capital yet escaped unnoticed by said msm. We know from the first clue that it occurred in Europe, right? Here's the next clue......

At least we've finally established that Fox News is part of the "mainstream media" so that whenever that term is used from now on, it includes them as well.
ReplyDeleteHow's this article for ya?
ReplyDeleteI guess the media are also ignoring the fact that right-wing extremists fire-bombed a Mosque a couple of days later? Gonna complain about that, too?
Bryan,
ReplyDeleteIf Fox is part of the msm, it is because they have been so successful in getting viewers. They are running circles around the other networks. That causes the other networks to heap scorn upon Fox.
As for the current situation in Greece, I would defer to Linnea. She is married to a Greek, speaks Greek fluently and has lived for many years in Greece though currently in the US. Basically, according to her, Greece is inundated with illegal immigrants from Albania, North Africa. Pakistan, Syria etc. They have taken over the main thoroughfares selling trinkets on the sidewalks. When the cops come in to clear the streets, they scatter and the cops kick aside what they leave behind. Now we have riots. Kudos to those who choose to air their grievances peacefully, but who should do the demanding here?
And yes, if someone set fire to a mosque, I condemn that.
Anecdotal "evidence" from a clearly biased source (Linnea)? No thanks.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't looking for you to condemn the mosque attack, because I already know you're a good person and would condemn such a thing, I was more saying that if the media are so biased, then why aren't they reporting either side of the story? If they were so sympathetic to the Muslims or the immigrants, you'd think they'd report on the mosque being attacked. But they're apparently silent on that, too. So I was asking if you're going to complain about the media ignoring that side of the story as well.
Bryan,
ReplyDeleteI have no sympathies for neo-Nazis in any country, but that doesn't mean that Greeks who are angry over illegal immigration overrunning their country with people who contribute nothing and demand this or that then riot have no reason to be upset. As for that fire that was set, I condemn it-if it was an actual attack on a mosque or immigrants. Many of these events have turned out to be accidents or hoaxes-a la the assault in Illinois and "mosque attack" in Dayton. And why should the Greek govt build a mosque? If the immigarnts are working and have their own funds, they can build their own mosque.
You know who you sound like? CAIR.
ReplyDelete"Oh we condemn such and such attack, IF it actually happened the way it supposedly did. But hey, there's a chance that the 'official' story is wrong, so..."
You're practicing the same sort of ambiguousness and mincing of words that you condemn.
Not quite Bryan,
ReplyDeleteI expressed concern over the Elmhurst and Dayton incidents-until they were revealed to be hoaxes. CAIR had to be chided (by me) to remove their report on the Elmhurst "assault" for a week until they grudgingly corrected the record. (The Dayton issue merely died without a resolution, curiously)
CAIR is now apparently in the business of playing defense atty for anyone the FBI arrests claiming entrapment (Niazi and NY case). Meanwhile, they push "Hate crime" stories that that later turn out to be bogus. As yet nobody knows about the Athens incident. Let's wait until arrests are made.
