CNN, MSNBC cover 50th anniversary of RFK assassination extensively, never mentioning assassin was “Palestinian”

Imagine if the assassin had been Jewish (which, of course, is never the case), but let’s try: imagine CNN and MSNBC’s Hitleresque tirades. How many #Moronnials know RFK’s assassin was a “Palestinian”? I wager zip.

CNN, MSNBC cover 50th anniversary of RFK assassination extensively, avoid mentioning that killer was “Palestinian”

Story continues below advertisement

“To me, the explanation is obvious. Some mainstream U.S. news media outlets are by now so profoundly sympathetic to the Palestinian cause that they will go out of their way to avoid mentioning anything that makes the Palestinians look bad.”

Indeed.

Sirhan Sirhan was a “Palestinian” Christian, but he was a fanatical servant of the “Palestinian” jihad. Since the establishment media is completely in favor of that jihad, CNN and MSNBC scrupulously avoided mentioning Sirhan’s name or his motive, even in lavish coverage of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

They’re not news outlets. They’re just propaganda organs for the hard-Left.

“Covering Up Robert Kennedy’s Palestinian Murderer,” by Stephen M. Flatow, JNS.org, July 10, 2018:

JNS.org – Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, is one of the best-known killers in American history. Yet two major television networks recently broadcast segments about the Kennedy assassination without mentioning his name at all. What gives?

On June 5, 1968, Sirhan, a Palestinian Arab with Jordanian citizenship, shot the senator four times at point-blank range in a Los Angeles hotel. There has never been any dispute regarding Sirhan’s motive. In multiple interviews afterwards, he said he did it because Kennedy was pro-Israel.

The recent 50th anniversary of the assassination sparked much discussion about it in the news media. Around the same time, CNN broadcast a major four-part series called “1968: The Year That Changed America.” A large portion of it was devoted to that year’s presidential race, including Kennedy’s campaign for the Democratic nomination. There was a segment of several minutes about the assassination.

Incredibly, the CNN narrator never mentioned Sirhan Sirhan’s name or the reason that Kennedy was murdered. The segment portrayed the killing as if it was just part of the general turmoil in America that year, which included Vietnam War protests, racial tensions, and the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. King’s murderer, James Earl Ray, was mentioned by name.

On July 4, the popular MSNBC program “Morning Joe” featured a special five-minute segment narrated by veteran anchor Tom Brokaw about the Kennedy assassination (hooked to the 50th anniversary). Once again, amazingly, there was no mention of Sirhan or the reason that he murdered RFK.

To me, the explanation is obvious. Some mainstream U.S. news media outlets are by now so profoundly sympathetic to the Palestinian cause that they will go out of their way to avoid mentioning anything that makes the Palestinians look bad.

And there’s nothing that makes the Palestinian cause look as bad as the fact that a Palestinian Arab murdered one of the most popular political figures in modern American history….

CNN, MSNBC, and every other MSM contributor to fake-news withhold facts; rewriting history or a current event must be within the parameters of their extreme-leftist, political agenda. The Left will scuttle anything that may betray the substance of a news story or history. The Soviets, the Nazis, every tyrannical movement or government fabricates and disseminates the Big Lie to keep the masses in line. The MSM, the Democrats are bound by the same worldview, the Big Lie. The Democrats’ malignant endeavor is not ‘We the People’ but ‘We the Collective.’ The MSM, the Fifth Column is the servant to its master’s, the Democrats, command.

Palestine, a toxic-wasteland of toxic-humanity whose sole intent is the murdering of Israelis. Those of the Left and its tag-along media demonize Israel, Judaism while lauding Palestinians and others of the Cult of Islam. The American mass-media holds more in common with this depraved, murderous and apocalyptic cult, Islam, than our Constitutional Republic.

I’m listening to a montage of anti-American propagandists from all the Tokyo Rose American news networks, CNN, MSNBC, etc, etc, etc, with the common talking point of “Putin has already won, he’s been treated better by Trump than by any other American president in history.”
And it reminds me how these same piss ants NEVER uttered the words, “Iran has been treated better by obama than by any other American president in history.”
The American mainstream media is seditious and treasonous, primarily because in the 21st Century they employ more immigrants who are either for some dead-ender reason unwilling or unfortunately congenitally incapable of truly understanding, taking to heart and setting out to live by the American creed.
Take for example, obama, who apparently has proven by his intransigence and ultimate utter failure as a president, the very truth that we’ve all feared for so long.

My only comment to this article is that it is not enough to refer to these networks as being motivated by the conclusion that they are pro-Palestinian, as the deeper truth is that these networks are simply Anti-Semitic, and will do anything possible to attack anyone who is pro-Israel. It is a very sorry conclusion when one recognizes the prejudice and bias emanating from major American medias. That is one of the reasons that they hate Trump so much, and report in a manner that everything that Trump does, including supporting Israel, is slanted in a negative manner. The truth is that Trump is the best thing that has happened to this country since Ronald Reagan, and his style is long overdue, and is in the best interests of this country, and the sooner we all recognize that, the better off we all will be.

I believe that the conduct of these media’s is evidence of their innate anti-Semitism. These media’s constantly “report” the news, as it involves Trump, with a negative spin. They do not hide their animosity that they channel against Trump. Trump has been an open supporter of Israel, and has sought to reduce our aid to the Palestinians who pay the family of the terrorists for their murderous conduct against non-Muslims and especially the Jewish people of Israel. The leaders and producers within these media outlets are clearly expressing their anti-Semitism in the way they falsify the news and put down anything and everything that may be related to Israel and the conduct of Jewish people.They are poisoned by their characteristics of anti-Semitism. Very sad…
