"Borrowing on the old cliché of a tree falling in a forest, if Muslims speak out against Islamists but remain unheard (in the PBS forest), did they speak out at all? Without regular opportunities in the media and government for anti-Islamist Muslims to speak out, America will never know that they ever did. Without being heard the moderate voices will be as if they never existed."

PBS, almost by definition hate this administration, this war, and this nation. They want to remake it in their own image: Socialism, PC, pantheistic.

That we are forced to give taxpayer dollars to these people is a crime.

Terror And The Press — Dan Hill

The press has described me as an unconventional warfare specialist, guerilla fighter, and counter-terrorism expert… among other things. If I worked for your enemy, you’d call me a terrorist.

In The Art of War, one of the fundamental treatises of warfare, Sun Tzu defines victory in psychological terms. Your enemy is defeated when his will is defeated.

Terror is a method of warfare, a psychological method designed to defeat the will of your enemy.

Terrorists very consciously use the media as conduits, as force-multipliers, to strike their real target – the will of their enemy.

Think of it – terrorist acts – killing people by tens and dozens, even hundreds – bringing down a building or derailing a train – these acts have no real military significance – they in themselves do not defeat nations.

Terrorism is theater. When a terrorist sets off a bomb, he’s staging a production, making a video… booms, bangs, smoke, fire, body parts, grief and anger – ready-made dramas for the mass market. These are the terrorists’ real bombs, their weapons of mass destruction….And the press delivers them. The press carry the big guns in a terrorist war – but the terrorists pull the trigger.

The media like the head choppers because
1. the left thinks that they are all poor and “have nots”
2. the left and the head choppers share a common goal: bring down Western Civilization (Christianity)

I moved a couple of weeks ago and for the first time in 15 years I have no cable TV and have been forced to watch CBS, NBC, ABC & PBS.
It has been a horrifying education in just how leftist/socialist these organizations have become. I do not use the word liberal as it is just too mild to describe how vile, hateful & dishonest these mewling America hating filth really are.

There are far too many examples to choose from but the Gun Control debate on the PBS Newshour was the best of all. The anti gun guy laid out endless lies like 80% of all gun deaths worldwide happen in the US????? The pro gun guy only had one sentence that he repeated 4 times “I agree with you totally but gun control will never pass, what a shame!”

When the media is spewing their cowardice & lies without any exceptions why have they not been labeled as Terrorists Organizations?

I am truly sickened at the shameless evil the is in control of our media. I have known of the liberal bias in the MSM for years, I just never realized how total & absolute it has become.

I would say that that the majority of Muslims in most Muslim countries are moderate, although I am not so sure about Saudi.

When I first visited Jordan I admit that I saw many Muslim fundamentalists. Naturally, I judged them based on looks. But, after talking to people there I understood that I was wrong. It was just people from the countryside!

We should remember that the silent majority in almost all, no probably all, countries are normal law abiding conservatives ;-)
