Can anyone really be surprised? First of all the term 'moderate' Islamist is an oxymoron by any means of the phrase.

This is a phenomena of the press that has the most naive take on geopolitical matters for one.

This happens every time a so-called moderate appears on the scene, frothing at the mouth to meet and greet this great new moderate savior.

They've done it plenty of times in Iran, used it as a MSM gimmick for new Soviet leaders,especially Andropov,who after hearing from the decadent US press that he was a moderate, loved Western film and drank cognac, dropped dead within a month,or maybe probably killed by his enemies who believed the western stories of him being "moderate".

Even the cockamamie, pig-headed phrase "Arab Spring", is a function of the MSM happy-talkers (for Democratic issues only),that see the "best" in the worst,(Iran, Arab Spring, China,North Korea) and the worst in the best.(Israel,US)

Nice summary.

They were calling the Muslim Brotherhood “moderate” and “secular” in the media and the WH too. That is, until they quickly found out that they couldn’t fool anyone with those transparent lies . . .
