VIDEO: Pamela Geller on FOX News Discussing NY TImes Hypocrisy

The media has been all over the story of the NY Times hypocrisy in favoring Islam while criticizing Catholicism. Mark Steyn at NRO here, Daily Caller here, The Blaze here, Volokh here, Business Insider here, Human Events here, Catholic Online here, RWN here, Mediaite here, and the uber-left, Soros-funded Think Progress is in a tizzy. You will notice that in the Think Progress piece they never mention the anti-Catholic ad or Times inconsistency. But they could not have missed them, as those are the central aspects of the story. So they know. This proves that Think Progress intentionally misleads its readership. The New York Times Rejects Anti-Muslim Advertisement makes it sound as if Geller just wanted to run an anti-Islam ad out of racistislamophbicantimuslimbigotry.

I have been inundated with interviews all morning on shows all over the country and a few from Europe. And so when FOX news called, I was unable to make it to the studio, but I was able to fit in the phone interview in this video. Note FOX’s take on the story. They call me an anti-Islam activist. I am a counter-jihadist. Why doesn’t the media distinguish between the two? Their lack of distinction implies the two are interchangeable. How islamophobic! FOX refused to run a graphic of either ad, as “both were offensive.” More abridgement of free speech in adherence to the sharia. They do not address the motive, the fear, the sharia behind the New York Times’ craven hypocrisy. Instead, they focused on the inconsistency of the Times accepting one ad and rejecting another, without clearly explaining why or giving the reasons for the inconsistency, which accords with FOX’s increasing tendency not to address this subject matter at all.

Megyn Kelly refers to our ad as an anti-Islam ad. It is not. It is a rebuttal ad. Also, it bears noting that Trace Gallagher ran the Times’ pathetic excuse unchallenged. In my interview with Fox, which they severely edited, I questioned the dishonesty of the Times’ position, when they have done more to jeopardize the safety of our troops than any mainstream media outlet, with the possible exception of Newsweek. How many front page stories ran on Abu Ghraib? Who leaked the NSA wiretaps under FISA, jeopardizing not just troops but American citizens, or the highly classified Pentagon order authorizing special ops to hunt for al-Qaeda in the mountains of Pakistan? Why didn’t Fox mention any of that? Why did Fox give the New York Times a free pass, while jumping to repeat the Islamic supremacists’ “anti-Islam” label of me?

The New York Times refused to run my ad.
The NY Times accepted this anti-Christian ad.

 

New York Times accused of Catholic bashing, double standard on religion

FOX News, Published March 15, 2012

The New York Times is being accused of having a double standard when it comes to questioning religion, after it ran an ad calling on Catholics to leave their church, but nixed a nearly identical ad aimed at Muslims.

The newspaper published an ad from Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation on March 9 which asked Catholics, “why send your children to parochial schools to be indoctrinated into the next generation of obedient donors and voters?” The ad went on to call loyalty to the faith misplaced “after two decades of sex scandals involving preying priests, church complicity, collusion and cover-up going all the way to the top.”

But when Pamela Geller, a blogger and executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America, offered the same $39,000 for the Old Gray Lady to run an ad making a similar appeal to Muslims, the newspaper passed.

“This shows the hypocrisy of The New York Times, the “gold standard” in journalism, and its willingness to kowtow to violent Islamic supremacist intimidation,” Geller told FoxNews.com.

Geller said her anti-Shariah ad was designed to mimic the anti-Catholic. In calling on Muslims to quit their religion, the ad asked “Why put up with an institution that dehumanizes women and non-Muslims … [do] you keep identifying with the ideology that threatens liberty for women and menaces freedom by slaughtering, oppressing and subjugating non-Muslims… Join those of us who put humanity above the vengeful, hateful and violent teachings of Islam’s ‘prophet.’”

“The fallout from running this ad now could put U.S. troops and/or civilians in the [Afghan] region in danger,” Times officials told Geller in a letter dated March 13. The letter said the Times would consider publishing the ad in a few months, and said “we publish this type of advertising, even those we disagree with, because we believe in the First Amendment.”

Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, called the first ad “vile.” But he said running it was a “judgment call.” However, the decision not to run Geller’s ad shows an agenda, he told FoxNews.com.

“It shows the disparate treatment and the duplicity of The New York Times,” Donohue said. “You can trash some religions, like Roman Catholicism, with impunity, but you cannot trash Islam?”

Robert Christie, the Times’ senior vice-president for corporate communications, did not return a call for comment.

Good Job Pamela!! Keep the pressure going!! FOX News now recognizes this is big news. Lets keep this moving, keep this circulating. Maybe next time the NYT or any other media will think twice before bending over for Islam.

You nailed the NY Times dead to rights. Too bad it won’t matter. The Times has been caught red handed in hypocrisy and lies countless times and yet fools continue to subscribe. Maybe you need a new ad , where you ask NY Times subscribers to quit!

The blogger sarainitaly commented at Mediaite — So, *it’s ok to go after the Catholic Church, because they are oppressive bigoted haters, but it’s not ok to go after Islam, the peaceful religion, because they will kill our troops*.
Proud of you, Pamela!

Don’t forget the two people in charge of the FFRF, Anne Gaylor and Dan Barker, who ran the first ad, are no better than the NY Times in this. If they had any real intellectual courage they’d be standing with Pamela and demanding that the NY Times run her ad, just as they ran the FFRF one.

I don’t know what’s up with Fox News lately. I haven’t really been tuning in too much because of the way they’ve been bending over trying to shed themselves of the “right-leaning” label. Frankly, that was the reason I watched it because they didn’t care what others said. The NY Times are just a bunch of cowards. I don’t know how they look at themselves in the mirror.
I agree with Infidel too, we have to keep the pressure up.
Whoever thought up your ad was a genius! Loved the picture of you too Pamela. Perfect!

In the West and Europe, the decimation of the Christian faith population is helping to pave the road for Islam and a Caliphate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliphate).
Decimation of a faith leaves a huge void and in this situation, Islam is only too happy to fill it.
In the UK, it has gone too far to turn back – it can only be slowed down.
Bishops, Vicars and Priests have mostly been bought off and can often be found helping Muslims build their mosques and introducing Islam into our schools and communities (brainwashing our children at early ages).
When the Bishops, Priests and Vicars aren’t helping to infest our schools with Islam they can also be found in backrooms, kissing the rear of Islam under the many headings of, ie Outreach, Interfaith, Building Bridges, Cohesion and Diversity et al.
So, this is the result of the decimation of Christianity where the congregation mostly falls away, followed shortly by the ‘men of cloth’ who have nowhere else to go, other than into the lap of Islam. Fast forward, you have the beginnings of a Caliphate, with the backing of the ‘men of cloth’.
We reap what we sow.

Awesome job Pam, I’ve been waiting for something like this to be done. At first I thought you were too strident, and then I started researching…You’re just too right about Islam.

Pamela:“They call me an anti-Islam activist. I am a counter-jihadist. Why doesn’t the media distinguish between the two? Their lack of distinction implies the two are interchangeable. How islamophobic!”
Ooh, ooh, I think I got this one! Could it be because the word jihad (or jihadist) is virtually forbidden to be spoken by talking head media? I believe their lack of distinction is a sign of their pretending jihad does not exist.
Anyway, even though I browse AS at work I don’t play the video clips till I’m home and I just watched the clip from Fox. Too Funny!!! Go to about 1:34, or a few seconds prior. Trace Gallagher is reading the quote from the Times’ letter to Pamela, “The fallout from running this ad now could put U.S. troops and or civilians in the Afghan [region] in danger”, and the word “danger” very clearly comes out as “DENVER”. He just keeps going like it didn’t happen. Denver is definitely a much better place to be.

It’s just as bad here in the USA. The amoral, atheist libtards wouldn’t notice but there are “Christians” who devote most of their time in muslime “outreach” programs. Programs that involve “Christians” proselytizing islam to Christians at churches but never the reverse.
On another note, why shouldn’t anyone be “anti-Islam”? I don’t see ANYTHING positive about pisslam. It’s full of rabid Jew hatred and anti-Christian bigotry. It’s holy books advocate the subjugation and/or genocide of all unbelievers and lying.
I’m anti-Islam, in the same sense any normal person is anti-Nazi.

Ever since one of the Saudi Shieks became a significant owner in the mother company of Fox News they have been very careful about casting Islam in a negative fashion. I’ve read stories about how Fox changes ‘viewpoints’ because the shiek called to object.
How can you put any faith in any of the US news outlets? They are all biased and influenced by other sources.

There was a magazine in France called Charlie Hebdo that has it’s building destroyed ty muslims who objected to their satire on Islam.
I would suspect that with that experience in mind the New York Times will never run the anti-Islam ad.
