I would agree with you on both counts.

But what really did you mean by "correct"?

That "yes or no" is the correct option, standing alone "yes" wouldn't be and "no" wouldn't be. Because it would conveniently preclude further thought on the matter, something that certain people fear as much as vampires fear daylight.

The poster attempts to manipulate people into evaluating Islam as being either this or that, thus eradicating anything else. If one says "yes" he thinks he's found confirmation, if one says "no" he can label one according to his bias. Contrary to his conviction of this being clever, it is actually rather plump and pretty stupid. Another form of confirmation in his simplistic world where the inability to address complexities is solved by denial of those even existing.

It's the favourite MO of the ignorant and the intellectually lazy.

1) Cetin was never married.
2) Sloppy journalism missed Cetin's social media that was full of pictures of Isis leaders, and praises for these men. Oh, but its normal for people to have Isis porn on their Facebook, right?
3) The authorities said Faisal Mohammed wasn't connected to Islamic terrorism too. Then his story was overshadowed by the San Bernardino terrorists, which pushed it out of mind. Later, the FBI concluded that his only motivation for the attack was Islamic extremism.

1. I apologize, I call people who are guilty of domestic assault wife beaters. It's a colloquial term and you'll have to forgive the technical inaccuracy of my statement.
2. There was also inaccurate reporting of 9/11 when it initially happened. That doesn't mean that it was bad journalism, it means that we live in a time where Tweets are often more highly sighted sources of information than mainstream media. The end result is initially sloppy reporting on nearly every major event from 9/11 to the Boston Marathon attack to the death of celebrities or the fatal stabbing of several people. In all, there is no shortage on the information of ties to Islamic extremism in attacks inspired by it and cherry picking a few missed details (like Facebook pictures - come on) in the immediate aftermath of an attack.
3. Another event overshadowing a less dramatic event or an event with fewer casualties hardly is evidence of media suppressing attacks inspired by ISIS or any other radical Islamic group. There are a ton of articles about the inspiration of the Merced attacker. Again, unless the media caused the events that overshadowed it, I don't know what the argument is there. The FBI should have immediately come out and said "we have determined that we guess this has links to Islamic extremism"?

Infowars is on a mission to prove that the media is whitewashing Islamic extremism. And then the Trump administration is dumb enough to copy and paste their article which was blasted out of the water by the Times immediately afterward. It was basically a point by point refutation of about 80 attacks that supposedly were all ignored. I'm guessing you read the Infowars or Trump list and not the Times list. I've read both. The Times makes the former two sources look incredibly stupid. I can link to that article/point by point refutation if you wish.
