Media Criticism: NYT Buries Nationalities of London Bombers and Omits Refugee Status in Report

21

The New York Times, in a report about the London subway bombing this week, conveniently forgot to mention the suspects were refugees.

The newspaper also buried the fact the suspects hailed from Syria and Iran — and that their religion was more than likely Islam.

Here’s a picture of one of the London bombing suspects — but shhh … don’t mention he’s Muslim or a refugee. The New York Times doesn’t like it.

How convenient.

The Daily Caller News Foundation has more:

In a report detailing new arrests in connection with the London subway bombing Wednesday, The New York Times omitted the refugee status of two suspects and reports that connect a third to Islamic motives.

“Three people have been arrested in a 24-hour period in Wales” in connection to the attack, begins The Times’ article. “Scotland Yard said two men, ages 48 and 30, were arrested on Wednesday under counterterrorism laws.”

Oddly enough, without first divulging anything that ties any of the suspects or the bombing to Islamic terrorism, The Times reported that ISIS had claimed responsibility, but authorities are trying to “piece together the events” to ascertain any influence by “extremists.”

In short, the report comprised of only 11 paragraphs, it wasn’t until the eighth paragraph that The Times provided context in the report by detailing arrests made on Saturday:

An 18-year-old Iraqi orphan who had a reputation for getting into fights and had been in the foster care of a retired couple, and a 21-year-old from Syria who had escaped the civil war there and was working at a fried-chicken shop.
The report left out that both of the suspects arrested were refugees. The 18-year-old was described by The Times’ as an “orphan” from Iraq, and the 21-year old from Syria. Both suspects had attended a foster home well known for taking in refugees.

The third paragraph of the report mentions the arrest of a 25-yearold suspect, but ignores entirely reports that allude to Islamic influence.

“Residents said the arrested man had lived in the area for many years and attended local mosques” reported The Telegraph Wednesday. “I know he is a Muslim but I don’t know what mosque he went to” said one resident, according The Telegraph.

During World War 1, a US senator, Hiram, Johnson, said: ‘The first casualty, when war comes, is truth’.

Denying the public the truth by deliberately omitting any inconvenient facts about terrorists is a very dangerous game.

This should not surprise anyone who knows these MSM are run by Left/liberal Pro -Islam corrupt Propaganda artists not real journalists.

As long as the Longest running Lie “Islam has nothing to with terrorism/jihad” continues this will continue.

Its upto every patriot who wants to defend their country by sharing info like this http://bit.ly/2rF8pfo

It’s better not to provoke muslims. An islamophobic narrative could harm coexistance. Muslims could get angry. you will not like muslims if they get angry. Remember 9/11, muslims killed thousands and USA said “we will not be at war with islam”

Problem being, of course, that Muslims will get angry if, as a non-Muslim, you exist (unless you pay the jizya with willing submission and they happen to feel like tolerating you)!

I don’t want to coexist with the moronic followers of the murderer and pedophile. Sooner or later we will wake up and show muslims a straight road to hell.

This “Newspaper” is but one of many across the Jihad victim countries which is responsible for the majority of the peoples ignorance on security matters and mass illegal immigration. There is an opening for the unvarnished truth in a daily paper new to the market, bums and tits will sell it and cover it’s costs as we say in blighty.

The BBC along with all other UK mainstream media, simply report these incidents as `acts of terror` with little if any mention of the identity of the perpetrators. When impossible to avoid mentioning Islam, ISIS are used as the probable organisation behind the attacks, exonerating Islam or Muslims from any involvement.
World mainstream media is responsible not only for the cover up of the reality of Islams drive toward Western governance, but the left wing agenda that offers Islamic protectionism and non democratic ideologies such as Globalization.

This is just one of countless examples from the New York Times in which a sympathetic attitude towards Muslims is displayed, while Jews and their religious and national aspirations are treated with contempt.

It is, in a nutshell, why the Times is so deeply reviled.

Congressman Peter King, of New York’s second district, said it most succinctly when he opined that the Times, once a great newspaper of record, had degenerated into just another left-wing rag.

NYT time sucking up to Muslim Jihad Mayor. He wants to destroy peace and promote the sick Cult of Islam.
