Terrorist attacks committed by Muslim extremists receive 357% more US press coverage than those committed by non-Muslims, according to new research from the University of Alabama. The researchers controlled for factors like target type, number of fatalities, and whether or not the perpetrators were arrested before reaching their final statistic.
Terrorist attacks committed by non-Muslims (or where the religion was unknown) received an average of 15 headlines, while those committed by Muslim extremists received 105 headlines.

That was my first thought too.
Man, I hate the US media.
Terror attacks by Muslims occur 94,673% more often but only receive 357% more press attention than other terror attacks, study finds.
The real truth is that any time Muslims are involved with a crime the media tries to cover it up. Often they won’t even report the crime itself.
what utter bullsheit!
often, Moslem terrorist attacks on Americans are covered up or made to sound like simple ‘parking space disputes’ when the terrorist screams Alluh Akbar and Death to America!
Or they try to hide it by describing the perpetrators as “Asian” males.
Go figure... flying a plane into a skyscraper gets more attention than spraying graffiti on a banner!
It just doesn’t seem to occur to them that it might
be because there are 357% more islamic terrorism?
Came here to say pretty much the same thing.
This is such a bald-faced lie. Which end of their ass did they pull the 357% from?
Well there was that ONE time back in the 90’s where a Christian attempted to bomb an abortion clinic. I can’t tell you how many times that has been thrown in my face when arguing facts about religious attacks.
Ummm, what other ‘terrorists’ are there?
Freepers - I commented on this web page with “Dissenter”, a plugin that lets you comment on any web page on the internet.
It requires a gab.com account - a platform committed to free speech.
Warning: the only moderation is for porn and posts that are not marked “NSFW” (not safe for work) that should be. Outside that it is raw free speech - thin skinned probably shouldn’t join.
...but having the ability to comment on CNN/MSNBS/TheGuardian/WaPo/etc is making their heads explode.
Not counting workplace violence.
The faculty is 25% non-white...

They try to paint the “white” or “non-muslim” terrorists as KKK, Neo-Nazis, Trump supporters and the like. But the truth is, almost all non-muslim terror attacks are ANTIFA, Occupy, Communist/Socialist, Environmentalists and other far left groups. They are not significantly reported by the media because the media wants to minimize their violence.
Somewhere, there’s more than a small sack of CAIR money behind this.
There are 357% more Muslim terrorist attacks than there are ANY OTHERS. duh.
76.45% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
