Spearheaded a movement weve never seen before.
NPR gushed over ISIS terror leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, describing him as a real leader who spearheaded a movement weve never seen before.
During a roundtable discussion about Baghdadis death, NPR reporter Greg Myre all but praised the man responsible for beheading three Americans and enslaving and killing an American woman.
He led a movement that weve never seen before, Myre said. ISIS had tens of thousands of members, fighters, coming in from all over the world.
They controlled massive amounts of territory in Eastern Syria and Western and Northern Iraq, Myre said, adding ISIS had millions of people under their control.
They administered cities, they collected taxes, Myre said.
They had this incredible online recruit presence in terms of spreading propaganda; recruiting followers, Myre said. This is a guy that sort of emerged on the scene.
And led this group that had done something wed never seen before, Myre said.
He went on to assert that Baghdadi was a real leader and that ISIS would find it hard to replace him.
NPR was not the only news outlet to be strangely effusive towards Baghdadi after his death.
The Washington Post drew widespread condemnation and ridicule by referring to the terror leader as an austere religious scholar.
Others attempted to downplay Baghdadis importance, with Newsweek citing an unnamed intelligence official who claimed that Baghdadi had become largely symbolic.
I did not see the interview but saying that he was a leader that we have not seen before is accurate. Part of my understanding our enemy as a military member is being able to respect the enemy and or their capabilities. This is not admiration but acknowledgement of what they have done.
I don’t see them as praising evil here. Again, I did not see the interview.

I wish Trump had announced last week that he decided that Baghdadi must never be targeted and that he would task special troops with protecting his life.
We then would have been treated to endless pronouncements from these Mainstream Media Propaganda-Drones about how the failure to immediately kill Baghdadi was itself grounds for impeachment, that Baghdadi was the most dangerous human alive etc etc.
Remember folks - Orange Man Bad.
PDJT should describe in lurid details some of the atrocities committed by ISIS, and hammer these NPR and Washington Post quotes relentlessly.

Much the same could be said of Mao TseTung, Josef Stalin, Adolph Hitler Idi Amin Dada, Hirohito, Genghis Khan, Atilla ...
And of course peppered in was all of the neo-lefty cult token signalling words 'this', 'sort of' and 'we'.
NPR loves tyrannical control. Stop The Funding....NOW!
NPR are communists, and have been since Day One.
So was Hitler. They are probably still lamenting his death.
These so called journalists might need a lesson in reality. A few of these morons need to fall under the rule of one of these “real leaders”. Maybe after one of their buddies has their head sawed off they will start telling the truth. I highly doubt it because the truth is too painful for them to speak. I guess we are stuck with pathetic liars who kiss terrorist smelly ass.
Sort of like how Louis Farrakhan describes Hitler as a “very great man”.
US out of UN, UN out of US... and defund NPR.
“....and he built schools and Day Care centers too”
Exactly. I don’t see what’s so hard about defunding NPR.
There has never been a tyrant liberals have not loved. They are one and the same.
Liberals are the littlest snowflakes and the most foul mouthed, traitorous, seditious, nature hating, aggressive, immature, insane, intolerant, bigoted, stingiest, polluting, off-key flat singing, angry, unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, Jew-hating, Israel-hating, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, war-mongering, law-breaking, conservative black hating, and scared little lying thumb-sucking pussified idiots God has ever created.
Just picked this up from another FR thread.
I think it explains the NPR mindset.
. . . and he made the trains run on time!
I’d get riled-up about that except not even Trump put up a fight to defund NPR.
