Media Is Owned By Islamist-Sympathizers

I worked in media and I know that editors want to appear progressive and intellectual. They welcome Islamists into their ranks. There are some rays of light, such as Fox's specials and terrorism experts reminding people from time to time the real score. These nuggets of truth are critical, because the majority of newsrooms are full of ill-informed leftist ideologues, who consider those who disagree with them to be racists. Just try telling anyone in any newsroom your opinion. You'd be categorized, depending on where in the world you're from and dismissed, the same way they dismiss "middle-America."

Anyone who doesn't buy the "progressive" movement are marginalized and ridiculed. Nevermind that people from parts of the world where knowledge of history is far beyond what liberal, progressive reporter/editor understanding is -- such as those from Russia, understand the Islamist threat. European countries are beginning to understand, such as France. Make fun of him all you want, Tony Blair understands.

By the way, they tried to make a fool of Rudy Giuliani, who did indeed know the difference between Sunni and Shi'ia. They were hoping for a big headline. Did anyone who didn't watch the debate even know that happened? No. Because it didn't suit their purpose of the question.

But editors consider the loss of a slug more important than the threat from militant Islam.
