“Inside Every Liberal Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out”
Rolling Stone Needs To Start Giving CBS Journalism Lessons
Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Magazine — The normally peaceful Muslim “extremists” are furious. ISIS even took a break from organizing a bake sale in Mosul to benefit the orphans of the women they beheaded to show its outrage.So says CBS. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a CBS report fail this badly. Not even Dan Rather’s time traveling computer (Soon to be a major motion picture starring Redford) failed this badly.
After rehashing the same old liberal narrative about how fighting Islamic terrorists just plays into their hands, CBS claims that, “The Senate report has sparked fresh calls for retribution by online jihadist groups and their supporters.”
Their evidence of that? Some guy from Twitter.
No seriously, that’s it.
The Senate report has sparked fresh calls for retribution by online jihadist groups and their supportersTo recap CBS claims Muslim “extremists” are enraged by a report based on an anonymous guy from Twitter whom they think might be fighting in Syria.
“Real torture is in hell,” tweeted Abu Talha Al Muhajir, who appears to be fighting in Syria. “Disbelievers, your turn’s soon.”
That guy doesn’t appear to even be enraged by the report. He just hates non-Muslim “disbelievers” and is piggybacking on the hashtag the way that a lot of ISIS trolls do. He’s just a permanently enraged Muslim, rather than a situationally enraged Muslim.
And for all we know, he might not even exist.
That’s it. There is no other reaction to the report from any other “extremists”. Rolling Stone needs to start giving CBS journalism lessons.
