“Media Malfeasance: Staging ‘Islamophobia’ in Holland”
Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 1:01:42 pm PST
SNIPPET: “Last month we had a post about ABC News and their completely phony story about “Islamophobia” in Texas, in which they planted an actor wearing Islamic clothes and an actor playing a bigot, had the phony “bigot” say scripted abusive lines to the phony “Muslim,” then filmed the reactions of other people to “prove” that Americans are bigoted “Islamophobic” reactionaries.
I’m going to run out of scare quotes at this rate.
Well, our sophisticated, nuanced European brethren in the Netherlands have taken this concept one rather amazing step further.
Dutch TV station 101tv had an actress wearing Western clothing drop some packages on a sidewalk, then filmed as lots of people rushed to her aid and helped her pick up the groceries.
Then they put the same actress in a burqa, and had her drop the groceries again. This time nobody helped her. Islamophobia! Bigotry!
Uh... except that, unfortunately for 101tv, another crew from a different TV station happened to be there at the same time—and they filmed as person after person did approach the burqa-clad woman to help, but were chased away by the 101tv crew, who shouted things like, “Keep walking! We’re filming!” and “Guys, stop that!”
