Journalists and how they cover Islamic Terrorism: The Narrative is No Longer Speculation.

The Society of Professional Journalists has issued a series of guidelines on how Journos should cover Islamists. By the looks of it, it seems to have come out after 9/11, but if you think how Islamic Terrorism has been covered and is being covered right this minute, you know it is still valid and much alive. I was unaware of its existence until this morning.

Guidelines for Countering Racial, Ethnic and Religious Profiling.

Notice the title? You would think it covers all races and all religions, but you would be wrong. Let’s proceed:

 

Visual images
— Seek out people from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds when photographing Americans mourning those lost in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

— Seek out people from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds when photographing rescue and other public service workers and military personnel.

— Do not represent Arab Americans and Muslims as monolithic groups. Avoid conveying the impression that all Arab Americans and Muslims wear traditional clothing.

— Use photos and features to demystify veils, turbans and other cultural articles and customs.

That is unless Al Jazera bitches about showing a pic of female dead terrorist without the burka.

Let’s continue

— Make an extra effort to include olive-complexioned and darker men and women, Sikhs, Muslims and devout religious people of all types in arts, business, society columns and all other news and feature coverage, not just stories about the crisis.

Wait, Isn’t that racial profiling?

 

— When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.

Because we need to give the impression of everybody is doing the same stuff in the same amount, even if it is not true.

 

— When describing Islam, keep in mind there are large populations of Muslims around the world, including in Africa, Asia, Canada, Europe, India and the United States. Distinguish between various Muslim states; do not lump them together as in constructions such as “the fury of the Muslim world.”

Except when they are throwing a fit or half the countries in the region are beheading the crap out of each other. Can we say “beheading” or would that be profiling? Bette make it “traumatic separation of cranium from torso.”

 

— Avoid using word combinations such as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim extremist” that are misleading because they link whole religions to criminal activity. Be specific: Alternate choices, depending on context, include “Al Qaeda terrorists” or, to describe the broad range of groups involved in Islamic politics, “political Islamists.” Do not use religious characterizations as shorthand when geographic, political, socioeconomic or other distinctions might be more accurate.

In other words, don’t use the words at all. In fact, don’t cover it.

 

— Avoid using terms such as “jihad” unless you are certain of their precise meaning and include the context when they are used in quotations. The basic meaning of “jihad” is to exert oneself for the good of Islam and to better oneself.

Because nothing betters oneself than screaming “Aloha Snackbar!” and detonating a suicide vest in a Israeli public market or French theater.

When ink smells like anger and fear.

NYT Front Page Editorial gun epidemic
New Yorker Magazine cover guns NY Daily News LaPierre Terrorist

First: where did the people in the New Yorker get the grenades? OK, never mind that.

I think it is not coincidental that the covers come from New York City.  The media from the Big Apple has gone from their morally superior stance to annoyingly pushy and now is reaching open aggression in some cases. Even the New York Time & Taco Stand broke a 95 year tradition and published an editorial in its front page.

Why? They are angry and they are afraid. Angry because their holy message is not going through. It is not impacting the way it used to be, reshaping what the country was supposed to think. We are frigging New York City! We mold this country as we see fit! Even Fox News works out of our blessed city, how dare you ignore us!

And because we ignore them and do not goose-step to their beat, we are the real enemy, not the Jihadists. In their mind, they can make a deal with the Islamic terrorists and live happily ever after, but we must be defeated and brought under because we dare to break with their Narrative, flip them the finger and go square dancing.

And they are afraid because they see themselves becoming irrelevant. There was a time when the media would wait for the NYT to be published so they would know what to write about or cover in the morning shows. But now, information is at the touch of a keyboard or an app on a smart phone and no longer is filtered by what some journalist in the Big Apple writes or blabs in front of a camera.

When I found out that something was happening in San Bernardino, I opened my scanner app in my phone and located the SBPD scanner feed. I was not alone but joined close to 16,000 other listeners on that particular app alone. I heard the confusion and anger of the cops, how they were processing the incoming info, how they rushed to different places where the tips were saying the Terrorists could be found. I heard the name Farook Syed mentioned several times. And I heard “Shots fired!” and the detonations in the background, it was chilling to hear the shots and the vices of the cops setting the perimeter and requesting the Bearcats and indicating how they should approach the SUV. I heard one officer getting a visual of the terrorist inside the SUV and announcing that he had an AR strapped to the chest and was still alive.

It then struck me that there might be something on TV and indeed there was the usual chopper images with the incessant drone of the idiotic Talking Heads blabbing just to fill air time, but disconnected from what was going on at street level. I eventually muted the TV and kept listening to the scanner to get a clearer overall picture. The news media was easily 20 to 40 minutes behind what we were listening live, they were not only late, but wrong, annoying and eventually irrelevant on that tragic day.

What they really should be afraid of is obvious but they don’t see it: NYC is a soft juicy target for hits like San Bernardino. They just don’t see it because they passed a law restricting guns with the assurance that they were now immune even though the violent crime rate went up after the passage of the SAFE law. And I am not saying that other cities would not be targets, but the terrorists are not stupid and they rather shoot and bomb the hell out of Broadway theater showing the latest musical than taking a chance in a movie theater in Ft Lauderdale or Fort Worth where there is the chance that some pissed off citizen decides to shoot back at them before they complete their Holy mission for Allah.

Enough said. It is Saturday, go shoot some targets.

What…The…F***?


Loretta Lynch, at a press conference yesterday, termed the San Bernardino shootings a “wonderful opportunity” to change the nature of police work:
“We’re at the point where these issues have come together really like never before in law enforcement thought and in our nation’s history and it gives us a wonderful opportunity and a wonderful moment to really make significant change.”

Tell me again that these idiots do not enjoy tap dancing on blood.

Dear Loretta: Weekend at Bernie’s was a movie, not a guide to proper government. And thank you, but the idea of changing police work coming from you, scares the crap out of me.

White House: They are not trolling, they are that stupid.

“Yes John, those measures did not work so that is why we need to implement them. The President said so.”

On Hold about San Bernandino.

I have plenty to write about, but yesterday and old neck injury decided to stop by and revisit me. And since I am one of those that needs to look at the keyboard while typing, writing is literally a pain in the frigging neck.

As soon as I stop playing Frankenstein, I will make a decent post. In the meantime, a reminder:

dhs-seal-250

While the Left, Gun Control groups and even DHS were watching Gun Owners, the NRA and 2A groups, 3%ters, Christians, Jews, Tea Party, etc, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik were prepping with all confidence and carried an attack on a soft target. And you can also bet your ass they were not the only ones out there.

But hey, Global Warming causes terrorism: Go buy LED light bulbs. I am sure they will stop terrorist attacks.

Carry your gun, carry at least two spare bags loaded with quality defensive ammo. And rethink the idea of a truck gun.

 

Consider the source

Sex columnist, gay rights advocate, and human pile of garbage Dan Savage tweeted the following in response to the San Bernardino shooting.

Dan Savage

He hates guns, he hates gun owners and the NRA, and he hates America.  I think he made that clear.  Of course he believes he is well atop his moral high horse, performing dressage 140 characters at a time.

Here’s the thing.  Dan Savage is a terrorist.  He admitted it.  He authored a piece for Salon where he describes in great detail with enormous self satisfaction, how he contracted the flu and decided to spread it to Republican candidate Gary Bauer and his staff at Mr. Bauer’s campaign headquarters in Iowa.  Why?  Because he (Dan Savage) didn’t agree with Mr. Bauer’s position on gay marriage.

Mr. Bauer made a comment  about the SCOTUS gay marriage decision and terrorism.  Dan savage replied with the following:

I decided that if it’s terrorism Bauer wants, then it’s terrorism Bauer is going get — and I’m just the man to terrorize him… I would keep the pen in my mouth until Bauer dropped by his offices to rally the troops. And when he did, I would approach him and ask for his autograph, handing him the pen from my flu-virus incubating mouth.”

I go around the room licking doorknobs. They are filthy, no doubt, but there isn’t time to find a rag to spit on…. I want to seed his office with germs, get as many of his people sick as I can, and hopefully one of them will infect the candidate. I lick office doorknobs, bathroom doorknobs. When that’s done, I start on the staplers, phones, and computer keyboards. Then I stand in the kitchen and lick the rims of all the clean coffee cups drying in the rack. I grab my coat and head out.”

Now Gary Bauer was a nothing of a candidate.  If I didn’t know about what Dan Savage did to him, I wouldn’t know anything about him.

But Gary Bauer was not the only Republican to be terrorized by Dan Savage.  Rick Santourm was the victim of an online harassment and extortion campaign that is as disgusting as anything I can imagine.

Dan Savage purchased a domain name (NSFW) and got his followers to use a Google Bomb to create a deinfiton for the word “Santorum” to be… a very disgusting thing relating to homoerotic intercourse.

In Dan Savage’s own words, this is what he intended to do to Rick Santorum:

There’s no better way to memorialize the Santorum scandal than by attaching his name to a sex act that would make his big, white teeth fall out of his big, empty head.

Through the use of the Google Bomb, Dan Savage’s domain and definition became the top search engine hits for “Santorum” displacing the Candidate’s official web page.  Why?  Because he (Dan Savage) didn’t agree with Mr. Santorum’s position on gay marriage.

So here we have an admitted biological terrorist and online harasser, who has publicly stated that he wishes that all republicans we’re dead and wanted to drag an independent candidate running against a Democrat to death behind a truck.

But I am supposed to defer to his moral superiority on the issue of gun ownership?

No.  People like Dan Savage are the reason I am encouraged to own and carry guns.
