MSNBC Host: Baghdaidi Killing 'Only Strengthens Followers' Ideology'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/27/2019 10:38:59 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

You know that the news of the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during a raid by US forces came as a terrible blow . . . to the liberal media. Their first reaction was surely to worry that this success would strengthen President Trump.

And so the MSM predictably is going about its business of downplaying the significance of the event—and even seeking to turn it into a negative. Take, for example, Yasmin Vossoughian, guest-hosting Joy Reid's MSNBC AM Joy show this morning, and doing her best to find the cloud on the silver lining. She managed a magnificent bit of concern trolling with this line:

"I wonder here if this type of killing only reinforces the ideology of Baghdadi’s followers? And in fact, strengthens it?"

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Liberal media bummed by Baghdadi death; doing its best to paint in negative light.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Well, maybe it does.

So what?

We’ll squash them like bugs, too.

I suppose that libs would prefer that a terrorist leader be kept alive to do more mayhem and destruction. Like things are going to be better if he had been kept alive?

What an idiot.

Yes, big mistake to kill him. Trump should have had him to the WH for dinner.

He died a coward, destroying his own family
Unmitigated contempt is more appropriate
Who, but one at the moral level of a Kumquat,
would honor his passing?

These low-life enemedia can’t even congratulate this President for taking out a key enemy. I guess ISIS leader was one of them. A fellow American enemy.

These enemy media outlets should be investigated for working with America’s enemies.

They would also argue that by not surrendering to ISIS we enable them to continue to fight against us.

Hey MSLSD, impeaching Donald Trump in the House’s kangaroo court only strengthens his followers in opposing EVERY Democrat and the MSM media.

They never are concerned with their constant attacks on Trump and the effect on his followers.

IMHO, the start of the end of ISIS and the falling away of support.

This is a totally different reaction from when Osama repelled down from a helicopter and killed Obama ben Laden.

False analysis....by jokers pretending to be intellectuals.

This will trigger an internal fight for three or four guys to get hype and be noted as some type of leader, but what it’ll really accomplish is dividing the ISIS thugs into a minimum of two groups, maybe even five groups. And while they make their case as the new boss...the DoD guys are hunting for the replacement ‘boss’. In any case...we just put another target folder together and aim for the next ‘boss’.
