What is your opinion of the news media?

by minimus in

to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

So the media and "Left" are losing their marbles over Melanie reading the lords prayer (as an atheist the mixing of government and religion is repellant to me as well, but I am not losing my mind)

Meanwhile!... This shit is going on in NYC yesterday and the media is not saying anything about it

Now... while I do not agree with Melanie or the GOP mixing religion in politics (i do feel it's an overreaction in the news), how can the left venerate a religion (islam) so dearly, especially by so-called modern feminists, a religion that in its majority countries literally (not exaggeration) treats women like farm animals. ?????

The MSM media is promoting the news it chooses and spinning it in its favor, I don't know if "fake news" is the right way of describing it, but its something.

I actually figured that "Extremist Islam = bad" was a settled issue by now on this forum

I don't believe so, some still associate it as an "oppressed group" and that means they are "good". I think it is safe to say if the shoe was on the other foot, and I was strolling through their country, most of these individuals would have no problem with me being beheaded as an infidel, and god knows what other unspeakable things. I know plenty of people personally who have served in these countries. They make no qualms about this being an absolute fact.

That is why I think it's silly to just think because people are in trouble makes them "good". or "ok" or "peaceful". No, I don't believe they are all going to come here and start committing terrorism, but my heart is not bleeding for them either. I believe its a shame people are suffering, but the suffering is a result of the ideologies they are clinging so strongly to, and our progressive way of life is not a cure for the horrible ideas they hold close to their hearts. They won't suddenly stop hitting their wives because DEMOCRACY. It doesn't work that way.

I just think its ok to be realistic, but in our trigger-warning-safe-space-oppression-Olympics America, you sound like a tyrant for not subscribing to the utopian idea this is just another religion, oh and a peaceful one... (rant not directed at you bohm, just ranting in general lol)

Also when we dance to timidly around these things... boom... not you have a Trump

I am cautious of bad ideologies and those who subscribe to them literally, I am also afraid of groups holding those ideas that are somehow above scrutiny because they are changing OUR good ideologies, not their bad ones.

We have no trouble criticizing JWS for fostering a protection of pedophiles, why can't we criticize Islam for its protection of extremists?

If someone is promising you a utopian idea Ruby you are being deceived. This denial the realities of Islam is a complete delusion.

Take a moment to reflect upon the existence of the musical The Book of Mormon. Now imagine the security precautions that would be required to stage a similar production about Islam. The project is unimaginable—not only in Beirut, Baghdad, or Jerusalem, but in New York City.-Sam Harris

the majority of muslims are like the majority of christians

No one is talking about them, and I already made that differentiation. The majority of Muslims seeking asylum you sure as shit better believe go to mosques and are not by any stretch moderate! what universe are you living in?

Like I always say to everyone who tries to say there is no difference, draw a cartoon of Jesus and one of Mohammad, and find out how moderate and peaceful Islam is.

This has been gone over to no end, neo-Nazi's and wacky fundamentalists are on the fringe of modern global Christianity, Islam is the opposite, the moderates make up the outsiders while the extremists are at the theological center.

freemindfade: I have tried to make exactly that distinction (a moderate Muslim vs. an Islamist, moderate Islam vs. Islamism) for a week on this forum and I get called a left-winger every time; be careful!

It's a tough subject. The moderates have a huge role in insulating the radical fundamentalists IMO. This obsession we have created with not criticizing Islam is protecting the fundamentalists. So I understand the slippery slope.

Case and point, Maajid Nawaz, someone who's activism (much like an exjw activist, or a leah remini with Scientology), his voice could go a long way in changing the religion, but he is silenced by who? Extremists? no by moderates, and institutions in America. He has been put on the SPLC list of anti-islamic extremists... that is insane! He is also not welcome to speak on CNN as far as I know, can't confirm it, but I know he is not liked.

So while there is a difference between a 'Muslim' and an 'Islamist' its time the moderates step up to clean their own house, and they do that by allowing the religion to be subject to criticism, satire and free speech.
