MEDIA RUSHES TO SHIFT FOCUS OF PARIS ATTACKS AWAY FROM JIHADIST TERROR

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

Before the dust had settled and even the extent of the damage and number of dead had been tallied from a string of terror attacks in Paris, France, liberals in the old media establishment were already writing pieces blaming conservatives, bemoaning that the attacks had taken the focus off pet liberal issues like Mizzou and global warming and wringing their hands over the safety of Muslims.

 

Salon was early out of the gate with a story twisting the terror attacks into a weapon to use against conservatives.

 

Even as Islamist terrorists were still killing people across Paris, Salon rushed to Twitter to essentially blame the terror attacks on conservative rhetoric, saying, “Real terror unfolds in Paris. Perhaps this will convince the right to done [sic] down their incessant violent rhetoric.”

 

The story the tweet links to goes on to attack conservatives for using “violent” rhetoric and for causing a harsh political climate in the US. So, to Salon, real, concrete terrorists actually killing over a hundred people and terrorizing thousands isn’t as bad as Republicans using “violent rhetoric” in a political discussion.

 

That wasn’t the only Salon story to misappropriate blame. In yet another Salon story, westerners are urged to “stop blaming Muslims and take a hard look at ourselves” to pinpoint who is at fault for the terror attacks.

 

But that is just one case of a left-wing site using the attacks in Paris as a weapon to beat up conservatives or western values. Many other media personalities and outlets followed that same line.
