BBC Scrubs ‘Ali’ From Munich Killer’s Name On TV, In Articles, AND On Social Media
Breitbart London ^ | 7/23/16 | RAHEEM KASSAM

Posted on 07/23/2016 11:45:53 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The BBC has unilaterally chosen not to report the Munich attacker’s full name, in what appears to be an attempt to scrub any Muslim or Islamic heritage link to its coverage of the incident. Most sources at this point suggest that Ali David Sonboly – the Munich attacker who targeted children and killed nine yesterday – is not connected to radical Islam, but the BBC has gone to extraordinary lengths to try to keep any reference to his heritage out of its coverage, opting to name him only as “David Sonboly”.

Other news organisations including the Wall Street Journal, Independent, Daily Mail, and Sky News named the attacker as “Ali David Sonboly” or “David Ali Sonboly”. CNN even referred to him simply as “Ali Sonboly”.

He can’t be ISIS or Al Qaida because he’s Iranian but that doesn’t mean he’s not a terrorist there’s many terrorist organizations who are Shiite

Good point.

They are just as dangerous, amusing how they oppose each other, and it’s a good thing they do.

Whew! That was close!

The German authorities solved that case just in the nick of time for HRC’s VP announcement.

What a break!!

Yes the media who are effectively at war with the people who can actually think for themselves instead of being spoon fed political correctness/globalism/socialism. And the war is in our midst: which side is the government/corporatists, media on? I thought this song from Battleground WWE, lol, is quite timely. And considering our man Trump was an occasional star on Vince McMahon's show!:

A quick search on my Yahoo news page shows this is not even a story anymore and barely a reference to him on a story about Merkel.

German news sources might be different. I think some are not wholely owned by the German government, I hope anyway.

Sure, anglicize a name. Pretty common practice.

Guns are bad.

The story is that he was bullied by white Christians. So it's the fault of white Christians. They are to blame.
