Time to post some refutations to the horrid ‘big media’ opportunism

First, from Gates of Vienna:

The Dexter Factor

We all know that the mainstream media have a double standard when it comes to political ideology. If you are a conservative — or even worse, a nationalist — you are held to a different standard than that applied to progressives and socialists. Those are just the rules of the game, and it’s been that way for a long time.

The double standard was glaringly revealed when the reading preferences of the man who confessed to committing last week’s atrocities in Norway were revealed. Anyone holding the wrong political opinions — especially “Islamophobic” ones — was held indirectly responsible for the murder of all those innocent people. None of those so implicated had ever supported or advocated violence, yet their writings were deemed to be an “inspiration” for the killer.

Many thanks to our Washington correspondent Frontinus for discovering an example of the other side of this double standard: a television program which the Oslo murderer loved, and which glorified a depraved serial killer. The same program has already inspired other successful murderers — so where is the liberal outrage?

The silence is deafening.

Norway Mass Murder: The Dexter Factor
by Frontinus

The appalling killing in Norway, and its purported justification via a 1500 page “compendium” by the mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik under the pseudonym “Andrew Berwick,” has let loose a remarkably well-coordinated campaign against any intellectuals who have opposed Islamisation or jihadists in Europe, a campaign pursued with meticulous precision by the New York Times, the leftwing blogs and the European press, executed against political leaders (Wilders, Merkel, Cameron, Sarkozy et al), against authors of books and opeds and essays, against human rights activists, anyone who has written or acted against violent jihad or the imposition of the violent doctrines of Shariah in western nations.

Please go to the Gates of Vienna to read the rest of this. It is very good.

Next, from SUN MEDIA TV via Blazing Cat Fur:

Coulter: ‘New York Times reader kills scores in Norway’

 

The New York Times wasted no time in jumping to conclusions about Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who staged two deadly attacks in Oslo last weekend, claiming in the first two paragraphs of one story that he was a “gun-loving,” “right-wing,” “fundamentalist Christian,” opposed to “multiculturalism.”

It may as well have thrown in “Fox News-watching” and “global warming skeptic.”

This was a big departure from the Times’ conclusion-resisting coverage of the Fort Hood shooting suspect, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. Despite reports that Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar!” as he gunned down his fellow soldiers at a military medical facility in 2009, only one of seven Times articles on Hasan so much as mentioned that he was a Muslim.”

The list is far far too long. Of course, sooner or later, people will come to know that Anders was a narcissistic psychopath and made up his reasons for his actions in order to make his crimes more interesting and important and aggrandize himself in the process. But by then the damage will have been done. Sad. Counter productive and certainly antithetical to the world the political left stridently claims it seeks.

  1. The significantly increased flow of traffic to counter-jihad websites and blogs as a consequence of last Friday’s atrocities in Norway is likely ultimately to benefit the counter-jihad cause as innumerable right-thinking but Islam-incognizant individuals acquaint themselves with the unpalatable truths about Islam cogently expressed there – truths which the bulk of the mainstream media consistently and conveniently evade, obfuscate or deny in its quest to advance cultural Marxism.

  2. George, I agree that the attempted smear against the CJ movement is going to backfire – big time. This afternoon, Rush Limbaugh entered the Norway debate stating (paraphrasing) . . .had the Norway shooter been a revert, the 1500 page manuscript would not have been featured just as discussion of the contents of the unibomber’s manifesto was dropped once it became clear the unibomber supported Al Gore’s global warming agenda — and — the country would already be approving plans for a mosque on the island to demonstrate their solid PC/MC tolerance bridge building skills. Rush actually used the term ‘revert’.

  3. The lefts ill timed and crude attacks of the anti jihad movement will only result in more people joining the movement.

  4. It is annoying i find, that Islam has managed to inculcate our language with their preposterous and formerly un-thought of terms such as ‘revert’. I hope Rush said it in a facetious manner.
