Today a racist White Nationalist terrorist who murdered a member of Parliament in the steet was sentenced to a whole-life term in prison.

Some people wonder how he became so radicalised in a liberal democracy like ours.

And they probably wonder why the Muslims are called "Asians."

Which of those stories says "Kill an MP?" :shrug: I can't see it?
 
The constant barrage of xenophobic drivel normalises and validates attitudes such as his. In the words of the judge as he passed sentence.

He is pointing out that the big news story of the day was the conviction of a white British right wing terrorist who murdered a sitting member of Parliament and these newspapers during and after the trial failed to mention it once on their front pages, and instead chose to push an anti-Muslim, anti-Migrant and xenophobic line.

I understood that. Yet again, where do any of them say it's okay to kill an MP?

Also, being concerned with Radical Islam and Islamic Terrorism is not anti-Muslim, nor being concerned over immigrants that refuse to assimilate into the local culture that has existed for over a thousand years and actively attempt to eliminate the local culture and transform it into their foreign culture is neither anti-Migrant or xenophobic. All three are legitimate concerns based on actual events occurring within the UK. Calling those concerns and the people that hold those concerns as being anti-Muslim, anti-Immigrant, xenophobic, or as they all combine to define... bigoted racists, will only create a further divide that as it grows becomes more and more difficult to span, and will eventually create an impassable gulf. And now? They are blaming a murder on people, their real concerns, and the media that reports on those real concerns?

This is a further example of how the left doesn't understand that you cannot influence people much less have a dialogue when the left is continually demeaning the real and prescient fears and concerns of others as well as constantly labeling others as hateful bigots just to shut down discussion and attempting to power and bully others into their ideological stance. If the left has ever wondered why things are getting worse rather than better, this is it.

If you continually beat a dog, eventually that dog will either run away from you, or turn and bite you. The left just can't seem to learn that.

By not reporting it in the manner it deserved, they are defacto siding with the terrorist. They are downplaying one of the biggest terrorist trials in UK history and instead pushing their own racist xenophobic bull**** that at least partially was the reason for the assassination in the first place. He was a white right wing extremist that blames Muslims and dark people for everything.
 
By not reporting it in the manner it deserved,
Deserved? That's totally subjective. According to your determination of what it deserved versus others that disagree with you, makes it subjective. You disagree with not only the manner in which they reported it, but to whom they focused the outrage of indignation. You support those that want to change the UK and Europe as a whole, those media outlets that do not agree with you are, as you say in the following part of this sentence, "siding with the terrorists." when the same argument can be legitimately made for those that support the side that you are on. Both are not accurate in and of themselves.
they are defacto siding with the terrorist.
Addressed earlier, but not quoted earlier for clarity's sake.

Again, subjective. Downplaying it in whose eyes? Yours obviously, but there must be a large number that disagree with you for that many news outlets to be taking the same level of import in their reporting.
and instead pushing their own racist xenophobic bull****
And, out comes the name calling again. The hateful attack on what is supposedly hateful actions. Again, your beating the dog.
that at least partially was the reason for the assassination in the first place.
Prove it. Take them to court and have them convicted. This entire line of accusations is nothing more than a deflection, an over the top condemnation of people that you disagree with and want to blame for a condition that people that hold the same ideology as you put forward here are partially to blame.
He was a white right wing extremist that blames Muslims and dark people for everything.
So? First, what does his race have to do with it? Second, he was an asshole that deserves every harsh action that can be legally taken against him. Third, does that mean that everyone that is concerned over Islamic Terrorism, or Islamic Extremism, or immigrants that refuse to assimilate, or other such things are also right wing extremists? Why are White Right Wing Extremists any worse than Islamic Extremists in your view? Why are those that are concerned and voice that concern about Islamic Extremists called xenophobic, or anti-Muslim, or anti-Immigrant, but those that are actually Islamic Extremists are not called anti-Western, or anti-UK, or just plain bigoted, xenophobic, racists as well? Why is that?

When Muslim extremists kill Christians, you never hear them called anti-Christian or xenophobes.

No, you don't. Especially in the UK or greater Europe. If you've ever wondered why the press lays off Islam, just ask Charlie Hebdo what happens if you don't.

He was a member of some racist political party that is well informed by the publications that you showed. The English love that kiss and tell stuff anyway: the stuff that made Murdoch rich. You guys also love to tear people down, so I'd say it's more of a cultural thing. Moreover, WWII wasn't that long ago and it's easy to stir up the ignorant.

When they're killing them in their own country, no. It's just more ME BS, that's why all those people are running away from there. They were doing it in the late 70's and 80s too; ya'know the time that 200 US service men were killed in their sleep by a truck bomb under Ronald Wilson Reagan's watch?

No body brought charges against Reagan or the secretary of state though...

That's the second worthless post I've seen you put up since I was last on. You're on a roll.

You're forgetting that the US is not at war with a religion. Though I think you'd like US to be. My post was quite accurate btw: I know people who were there at the time: it was the Israeli Lebanese war.
 
Let's play the pretend game that limo liberals are so fond of. ( pop quiz- how many Muslims immigrants ya think 'bags like Mac skipper are housing???) Let's pretend that every Muslim immigrant is a peaceful human being only out to make England a better country and anybody who believes otherwise is some kind of xenopohobe or racist.

That pretend game got shoved up their arses with the Brexit vote and it dang sure just got the same treatment here in the US.

Your reading skills need work. None of those front pages carry news of royalty. Maybe it's the nationalist blinkers.
