In this CNN video of the well reported murder of a woman in Afghanistan, CNN does everything it can to scrub Islam as a motive and justification for this action out of it, to the extent that it is not just, not news. It is in fact misleading propaganda.
The fact that they use a fellow named Mohamed to talk about it I can live with. I don’t care who tells the truth about a thing I care that the truth is told. But not only did he not tell the truth about this event, but my feeling is they deliberately used someone named Mohamed to condemn this action to further create the impression that Islam is not a factor but actually something which condemns this kind of action.
When Mohamed says at 1:04 “they actually appeared to be cheering” he fails to mention that the ‘cheer’ was,
“Allah Hu Ackbar” and “long live the Afghan Mujahadeen” which of course means Muslim holy warrior.
Not including this information utterly transforms the nature of this event in the mind of the viewer. It makes it look just like a warped act by a few Afghans.
I can’t find raw video of the whole thing. But at least in the one below, you get a clearer impression of what took place.
I also have spoken to enough Afghan veterans that I even doubt these were ‘Taliban’ as much as they could have been any group of devout Muslims who did this for whatever reason they wanted to do it.
There have been many incidents of killing of people in Afghanistan that the Western media has reported as Taliban when in fact it was tribal, and sometimes for reasons we would even consider as rational and other times not.
The first casualty of war is truth. This much I accept. But if we lie to ourselves about the motives of the enemy, then it isn’t a war. It is a mass surrender.
In this video you get the raw images before and after the shooting :
there is a cut at +/- 0:29 – 0:30

the missing part can be seen in this other video (0:20 – 0:38 ) :
This sort of BS is SOP for mainstream media:
of course, if the USA did not support Israel this would never of happened…………………*cough*
“There have been many incidents of killing of people in Afghanistan that the Western media has reported as Taliban when in fact it was tribal, and sometimes for reasons we would even consider as rational and other times not.”
That is also the point of http://www.loonwatch.com
Rush Limbaugh is saying that CNN is going to move even further to the left to try and regain viewers, this is probably part of the move.

I don’t even care anymore that CNN is so left-leaning and biased in their coverage.
But could they pleeeease stop calling themselves ‘The Most Trusted Name In News’ already.
CNN= Collective Nonsense Network !
Yahoo.com.au reported it more accurately I recall soon after it came to light. There is some hope though as this report suggests:

They want to control the internet, so people will have to rely on their lying news networks.
During most of the 90s the left had for all practical purposes a monopoly on the news business, now they don’t and are desperate to regain that monopoly. Without this monopoly their side will continue to lose elections and power.
That is very true Richard. Here in Oz the Labor state governments of both New South Wales and Queensland have almost been wiped out at the poles by the conservative Liberal / National Parties and the Federal Labor government will be lucky to retain anything more than 14 seats at next year’s election. Western Australia and Victoria swung to the conservatives earlier before the latest backlash against the left-leaning Labor party.
They want to regain the monopoly, but it is too late.
We are seeing a new type of political revolution, hopefully in most non European Western Nations we won’t have to resort to a violent one to regain our freedom. I don’t think the European nations can regain any form of freedom through the ballot box, the left has too large a hold on power in that region.
