French media to stop publishing photos and names of terrorists
The Guardian ^ | 27 Jul 16 | Staff

Posted on 07/27/2016 3:31:59 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Le Monde and La Croix will no longer use images of terrorist killers, while Europe 1 radio will not broadcast their names

Several French news organisations have said they will no longer publish photographs of people responsible for terrorist killings, to avoid bestowing “posthumous glorification”.

Le Monde published an editorial after the latest attack, the murder of an elderly priest in a church near Rouen by two men claiming allegiance to Islamic State. Under the headline “Resisting the strategy of hate”, Le Monde argued on Wednesday that all elements of society had to be involved in the struggle against terrorism, and that media organisations had a special role to play.

“The sites and newspapers that produce this information cannot excuse themselves from self-examination on several fronts. Since Isis terrorism first appeared, Le Monde has changed its practices several times,” the newspaper said.

It first chose not to republish images from Isis propaganda documents. Then, after the attack in Nice on 14 July, when a truck drove through crowds enjoying the Bastille Day public holiday, Le Monde said it had decided to “no longer publish photographs of the perpetrators of killings, to avoid the potential effect of posthumous glorification”.

If you believe the French media is going to suppress the names and identities of murdering terrorist because they don't want to give them "glorification", I have a bridge to sell you.

They are doing this to hide from the public the fact that Muslims are on a murdering, raping, and demonic rampage throughout Europe.

The French, the Germans, and all of Europe need to wake up to the fact that Evil is among them, and will enslave them. The Globalist elite are using Islam by design to hasten the fall of the West, and what is left of Christendom.

All the candle light vigils, all the hand holding, all the "we stand together shoulder to shoulder" rhetoric will not stop Satanic Islam. Only force. Only all out war.

What they should be doing is publishing pictures of dead terrorist wrapped in pig hides ... it seems to have worked in the past.

So we’ll no longer be told the names of the terrorists. But I bet they’ll continue to say “the motive is still unknown”

Stupidity. It’s a liberal trait.

Unbelievable.

When a mushroom cloud erupts over a Western European city, the liberals will ask ‘How can this have happened?’.

My guess, it will be a chemical or biological WMD first.

I had no idea our DOJ had an office of French affairs? That Obama brotherhood thing really spreads like an email doesn’t it?

The news reports of mass murderers lead others to commit mass murder.

The French effort is worth a try over there and our mass media should follow their lead here.

Stop all (reports of) terrorism. The public will no longer be exposed to Islam in a negative light. And those that do get first-hand exposure will be dead anyway.

In all fairness, maybe it would be more effective to omit their names and insert the name of those responsible for importing their jihad-prone hides in the media to remind who the root cause villains really are.

I don’t have a problem with this — as long as they (the media) always make it clear it was Muslim terrorists, most especially “refugee” Muslim. If they try to couch it in terms like “Asian youth” or “displaced”, “oppressed”, etc..., that’s a problem.

Well worth a try.

When did the French give up on self-preservation?

"And in today's Dusseldorf news, six priests had a workplace accident with their throats cut due to immigration policies of Agela Merkel.

There. That's how it's done.

At least tell us his first name. That’s usually enough.

Maybe if the headlines read something like this:

“Muzzie pig molester killed in attempted terrorist attack”
