A 5 year old Christian boy cut in half by ISIS, or the Austrian girl who joined ISIS (named poster girl for ISIS), and later was beaten to death when caught trying to escape.....you don't see these kind of reports on mainstream media.

Why is that?

I sure noticed the last one you mention. All OVER the UK press. Nothing here. I trust our media less and less. I don't have an answer. My instincts tell me they are being quashed. But I just can't believe that answer quite yet. Hope this thread gets legs. It'll be interesting to get others perspectives.

Good thread.

The Socialist Progressive Machine has other objectives in mind.

At this point it's necessary to deflect attention from the economic harm being done to minorities through the Machines supported invasion of the US by illegal aliens from around the world. By focusing attention on their latest investment in social discord and divisiveness, that being race issues, little space is left for reporting the atrocities being done against non-believers/followers in the ME and elsewhere.

The issues of the left are currently global warming, racism, sexism, income inequality, immigration "reform" and anything else needed to maximize the voter turnout of the left. Wasting precious MSM bandwidth on issues that might actually fire up the "silent majority" (who tend to vote more conservatively) is not likely to happen. This is a classsic example of bias by omission or mind over matter - if the MSM doesn't mind then it doesn't matter.

The Main Stream Media is state controlled and features idiots displaying incompetence.

This is simply one more example.

Everyone in our US Media is so obsessed in being politically correct that the truth in their reporting is now gone. It is not gone by design, they are brainwashed automatons with no intelligence or capability to see the world from any greater perspective.

Examples are everywhere. They are usually very small and very frequent but revealing. In one news story, a group of individual dignitaries were unified and marching together to demonstrate solidarity. The few from African countries were cited in particular by the reporter in the live report as "African Americans". How removed from any sensibility does a person, much less a reporter trained in and practiced in the art of public speaking, need to be to see ALL black persons as African AMERICANS?

If you watch and listen to the buffoons practicing their buffoonery, they reveal themselves all of the time.

You can cut them a pass, but the simple truth is that they are peddling a political agenda and attempting to reform the world into their preferred vision.

Their only real talent is usually being able to read a script and look good, but they have fooled themselves into thinking they are the leaders of the free world. At least they are fooling someone.

Well, I guess trivial stuff does attract an audience. A review of media focus over the years reveals a manipulation of viewers in order to highlight, or deflect, depending on the objective.

For example, at present, minority communities are being significantly harmed by the invasion of illegal aliens streaming across the southern border. Have you seen any headlines regarding this?

Southwest Border Unaccompanied Alien Children Statistics FY 2016

Over the last several months, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has noted an increase in the number of unaccompanied children and family units apprehended along the southwest border. DHS is closely monitoring this situation.​

The fact is, the MSM is not reporting it.

What are they reporting? Well, that is obvious.

Clearly the Machines objective is to manipulate the population by only allowing certain themes to be reported in order to create false narratives based on a ideological agenda.

The "bible thumpers" must always be portrayed as evil oppressors of women and gays - the MSM can't very well describe ME Christians as being worse than ISIS and will certainly never make those (evil?) ME Christians appear to be victims (of Obama ME policy?).

Every single time some right-winger proclaims "MAINSTREAM MEDIA WONT REPORT ___," I find exactly that thing in every media outlet I check. In ten seconds.

Because the last forty times I provided those links people like you ignored them under the guise of "well they're not talking about it as much as I want in exactly the way that fits my preconceptions!"

Try a search of "5 year old cut in half by ISIS" and see what MSM links that it turns up. BTW, that is a very lame excuse to avoid that "ten second" effort.

So should people apply the same standard to complaints about Fox News?

You don't often hear "RIGHT WING MEDIA WONT TALK ABOUT X"

But when you do, I bet it's wrong.

edit: this was not meant to sound like that Dos Equis Guy Meme. My apologies.

Re: Mainstream Media don't report atrocities against particular individuals, or grou

While I wouldn't put it past ISIS to cut a 5-year-old in half none of the sites I can find talking about it seem to have any concrete evidence that it happened. As horrible as the MSM may be, they at least TRY to make it look like they check their sources and if they can't reasonably vet the story they probably won't run it. All I am finding are evangelical opinion pieces recounting the same rumor.

Again, ISIS obviously isn't above killing kids, but I am not sure how the MSM could ethically report this particular story without evidence it actually happened.

In other words, you could not find the "5 year old cut in half by ISIS" story on ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN. ;)

Can you cite any mainstream media that reported any of these two? I must've missed them.

Manipulation. Yes. You can't trust the media anymore.

How do you check for authenticity of stories in places you can't reach? How do journalists get some of their stories if not through leads?

You wouldn't put it above ISIS to cut a 5 year old in half - we'd been told how many beheadings had been put on video - and yet, you question the credibility of these reports because they come from EVANGELICAL sources!

The atrocity happened in a Christian village - who do you think would be likely witnesses to tell what had happened?

I agree. The media coverage isn't nearly what it should be.

I agree. The media coverage isn't nearly what it should be, visa vie news items that go counter to what appears to be the liberal / progressive agenda.

My conclusion? Don't trust the news media, and what they are reporting.
