Sometimes networks want you to know the religion involved. Other times not so much

By now you’ve heard of the compound in New Mexico where children were being both abused and taught to become school shooters.

The makeshift compound — located near the Colorado border — was found shielded by old tires, wooden pallets and other debris. Upon authorities’ arrival, Wahhaj was “heavily armed with an AR15 rifle, five loaded 30 round magazines, and four loaded pistols, including one in his pocket when he was taken down,” Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said.

The sheriff said the children, ages 1 to 15, “looked like third world country refugees not only with no food or fresh water, but with no shoes, personal hygiene and basically dirty rags for clothing.”

The only food investigators found were some potatoes and a box of rice inside a dirty trailer, the sheriff said, adding that the living conditions were “the ugliest looking, filthiest” he’s ever seen.

On CBS This Morning within five minutes of each appeared two stories. One of the compound and one of sexual abuse by a priest. First, the priest:
The first Pennsylvania statewide investigation into abuses by Catholic priests is expected to be released any day now. The grand jury report details allegations against more than 300 priests in six dioceses, covering more than 1.7 million parishioners. Attorney General Josh Shapiro led the 18 month-long investigation.
“abuses by Catholic priests”  Got that? Catholic. Then this segment on the compound

Watch it. There is a word missing from the report, maybe two: Islam and Muslim.

Not one word about the religion of those abusing the children. CBS did not characterize the first story as “abuses by men of a certain cloth.” No, they nailed it down: Catholic.

In one story the religion was important and in the other, well, you don’t need to know.

CBS was not alone. Washington Post? An “adult suspect.”

NBC? It was “a man.”

Obviously not Catholic or we would have heard about it. That’s the way it went for virtually all the networks:

The same mindset won’t allow the media to give the race of criminals when the narrative will not fit the dream of leftists. Reverse and have a white kill a black and race is screamed from the high heavens. They think we are stupid so when we hear code words like “youths” “teens” etc, we know exactly who is involved.

Well, you KNOW it would not be politically correct, or fit their narrative, to report that the "man" was a radical muzzie. After all, islam is the 'religion of peace', isn't it? < /sarc >

By the way. Stating this fact on Facebook will get you thrown into "Facebook Jail".

Well, at least FOX pointed out that the father of one of the men was an Islamist bigshot in NYC, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing (IIRC, the one in the parking garage).

The MSM would have you believe that Catholics are still practicing the inquisition and Mormons still have plural wives while Muslims are model 21st century world citizens. NOTHING could be further from the truth.

The adherents of one of these "faiths" will try to kill you for mentioning their evil behavior. The other's followers will not.

That I think is why theACLU is quick to attack schools over Christian activities but never mention it when schools force students to take tests explaining Islam’s 5 pillars and then declare their faith to Islam.

There is only one reason that I regret not having a Facebook account and that is that I can’t cancel it. Same with newspapers and cable subscriptions. And gym membership.

Of course.

Protect the muzzies at all costs.

Fortunately, there are enough sources out there that DO give that information.

If I’m not mistaken the office of the inquisition is still open.

I believe the Big Media shouldpublish a hierarchy of humans style sheet, the ones they use in their coverage of happenings. You know, which groups are best, which deserve more care and respect than others. I need some confusion cleared up.

Like, I know Muslim is very high up. Is it higher than gay? Is it higher than transgender?

And is there anything below straight white people? Maybe leeches or cockroaches? We need to see the full hierarchy so there is no confusion.
