Obama always claims he found out about scandals from the "news". He only ramps up the fight against ISIS, when the media's reporting makes it obvious that the group is still a problem. So he has an obvious solution.
If the media would just stop covering ISIS, it wouldn't be a problem.
“The media needs to help in this,†he said, admitting that it has been a “difficult week,†with the threat posed by ISIS becoming a primary focus in the media.
“One of the things that has to happen is how we report on this has to maintain perspective, and not empower in any way these terrorist organizations or elevate them in ways that make it easier for them to recruit or make them stronger,†he said.
We shouldn't "focus" on ISIS. Instead let's call them a JV team and let them take over Iraq. That worked for Obama last time.
But then the media reports on Yazidi genocide and suddenly Obama looks stupid and has to pretend to bomb ISIS. Or ISIS massacres a whole bunch of people in Paris and then Americans start to be "afraid" and then Obama has to pretend to bomb ISIS some more.
Can't we all just pretend to agree that ISIS doesn't exist?
That means no reporting on ISIS. If you are about to be killed by ISIS, please don't call the police. That will just perpetuate the cycle of violence since we all know fighting terrorists, just creates more terrorists. And if we all commit to pretending ISIS doesn't exist, it'll instantly be defeated because its real motivation is to get Americans to hate Muslims. At least that's what the media says.
So boys and girls, close your eyes and repeat after me, "There's no ISIS, There's no ISIS, There's no ISIS."
But there's just one problem with Obama's plan. If the media stops reporting on ISIS and it carries out a terrorist attack in America, how will Obama ever find out it took place?
Certainly not from the intelligence analysts.
Analysts at U.S. Central Command were pressured to ease off negative assessments about the Islamic State threat and were even told in an email to “cut it out,†Fox News has learned – as an investigation expands into whether intelligence reports were altered to present a more positive picture.
Separately, a former Pentagon official told Fox News there apparently was an attempt to destroy the communications. The Pentagon official said the email warnings were "not well received" by the analysts.
Post modernism. It is all about the narrative. Truth is what you say it is.
Total sophistry
The CLOWN PRINCE of American politics has spoken.
What a complete A$$HOLE.
Black/Gay protests at colleges wouldn’t be a problem if the media didn’t report on it.
Obama’s claim is false because ISIS would kill even if the MSM didn’t carry their snuff videos from social media.
Wow, are we screwed!
Okay, Obama is pegging the insanity meter here.
Remember congress, the US Constitution is our friend and article 25 is the solution to all this guy’s obvious mental problems.
So....if the media stops reporting and discussing ‘racism’, it will no longer be a problem?
Yes. Yes we are.
Its all Bush's fault , because ..
ISIS is all Junior Varsity to "the smartest guy in the room"
/s
Maybe if we click our shoes, we can go back to Kansas.
Hey, uh, yuh know, you folks in the media, uh, yuh know, yuh gotta stop this reporting the bad stuff, yuh know. Don’t be, uh, makin’ me look bad, now. First Black President, remember?
“Can’t we all just pretend to agree that ISIS doesn’t exist?”
As my favorite algebra teacher would put it when someone was slow to respond....
“You can ignore it and hope it goes away”
The MSM refused to address the jobless.......and voila! They refuse to report the economy and .....voila!
Must be the MSM is scared to defy theWon and talk about ISIS and the threat to America.
Interesting.
The policy of ostrichism! What a wonderful “leader”.
