Is the media sanitizing the London bombing?
Bill O'Reilly takes a look at how some of the most notorious press sources have dealt with the bombing in London, and finds that they're no different than before.
The New York Times, which called the murderous terrorist al Zarqawi a Jordanian fighter a few days ago, today ran a page one article about Al Qaeda executing an Egyptian diplomat in Iraq and referred to the terrorist group as the "insurgent group Al Qaeda." So I guess The New York Times is now a terrorist-free zone. More on that in a moment.As you can see from the above, it doesn't matter where it happens, you can be quite sure they'll be as whitewashing as possible of the subject of terrorism.
The Washington Post also playing this game, today described Al Qaeda in Iraq as an "insurgent group" as well.
CNN called Al Zarqawi an "Islamic militant."
But the absolute worst appeared in The Boston Globe. And op-ed written by Derrick Jackson compared the dead in London to those killed in Iraq by coalition forces.
Jackson writes, "Yet ever invoking of the innocents (in London) also reminds us of our despicable, cowardly killing of innocent Iraqi civilians."
The Boston Globe must be very proud. Even in a liberal state like Massachusetts, that kind of moral equivalency is simply unacceptable to decent people.
