Why is the Media Burying the Coptic Christian Story?
The burning of the Coptic Christian church in Minya, Egypt
(Hat tip Jihad i Malmo)
I invite the reader to go to the web pages of all the national news networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox. I have just done so, and it is clear that only Fox News is paying any attention to the attacks against Coptic Christians in Egypt.
This is our news media. If they don't like a story, or it doesn't fit into their world view, they bury it or ignore it altogether. As of today, we have over 60 Christian churches attacked and burned in Egypt, and only Fox news finds that newsworthy? Why is it that even educated readers have to go to Fox or the blogosphere to be kept up-to-date on what is happening to the Copts in Egypt? Ever since the Copts became a minority in Egypt, they have been subject to discrimination and abuse in varying degrees. Under the rule of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, it became open season. Since the military coup, they are being blamed and the attacks have increased by Brotherhood supporters. The Brotherhood is denying responsibility just as they deny responsibility for all the violence, but the Investigative Project on Terrorism has come up with an internal document in which the MB gives its blessing to the attacks.
In Egypt and across the Middle East, a new holocaust is developing, and the world remains silent. Our own administration has nothing to say as they incredibly side with the Brotherhood. The UN is silent. The EU is silent.
And our news media, with the notable exception of the much-maligned Fox News, is silent. This is beyond shameful.

You're projecting again Findalis.
This subject has been covered in the NY Times, so its not like the MSM isn't covering it, and anyway, Fox News is far too big to be considered anything but MSM.
An interesting feature of the Times coverage is that there seems to be an absence of army or police protection, and somehow Fousesquawk hasn't touched on the possibility that the military rulers are using Christians as a foil, just as they used the mass protests against Morsi as a foil.
Go wear yourselves out burning some Christian churches MB... it won't do the army any real damage, it will discredit you in the long run, and we'll pick up the pieces. It will also provide a self-fulfilling prophecy that indeed peace cannot be restored to Egypt except by the agency of the "Deep State."
What was Gary's favorite phrase? "Oh ye suckers..."
Oh yee suckers applies to Obama who has placed so much faith in the MB. Now he doesn't know what to do.
Duck, duck, quack quack, Gary's own phrase boomerangs back on him, and all he can say is "Not me, its that other guy!"
I have read nothing to suggest that our president has any confidence in the Muslim Brotherhood. He did consider that we must respect an election, even if we wouldn't have chosen the winners if it were up to us, which it isn't.
YOU were so glad the army was taking charge... be careful what you wish for, you might get it.
