A conservative media watchdog organization says left-wing billionaire George Soros is funding a course that teaches journalists how to downplay the negative aspects of Islam.
The three-hour online course called "Covering Islam in America" is a project of The Poynter Institute, which claims the program is designed to "give a broad explanation of the religious, social, political, and geographical facts about Islam today." That organization has partnered with the Social Science Research Council and Washington State University to strengthen "accurate" reporting and to enhance "the ability of the media to fairly report on a range of pressing issues."
But Dan Gainor, vice president for business and culture at the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) of the Media Research Center, contends the course is nothing more than a guide on how to spin Islam in a positive light.
"It teaches [journalists] to downplay Jihad, quite literally to put the deaths of the 3,000-plus people that died on 9/11 in context so that you compare it to the initiative on HIV and AIDS, or you compare it against how many Americans are killed in murder," he explains. "So, instead of actually just telling the truth on this, they actually are teaching in a journalism program how to spin and make Islam look less radical."

“OK, guys, it isn’t ‘beheading’ anymore. It is now ‘liberating the body from the slavery of the gray cell storage fascist units.’”
If the world war that Soros appears to be encouraging actually breaks out, where does he think he can run and hide? There won’t be anywhere to run, George.
The lack of response by Republicans in reference to George Soros makes me wonder if they’re in his pockets! Did Soros make money on the stock market crash in 2008?
The Devil takes care of his own.
Georgie boy will be just fine.
God will deal with him in the fullness of time. He must have a good reason to let this guy run riot for a bit.
Oh, I’m sure He does.
[maybe something to do with wheat and tares or sheep and goats]
For another 1000 years they will be known as cowardly, godless killers and deservedly so.
Still doing the work of his Nazi masters, I see.

Maybe George Soros is getting his wiener wetted by a particularly talented Pakistani and this is his way of personally thanking her for a job well done.
Soros just lost an insiders trading appeal for a 2002 c0nviction,but he’ll get a slap on the wrist like he always has.....
Thanks Just4Him.
