NBC PUBLISHES UNPROVEN CLAIMS OF 'ANTI-MUSLIM INCIDENTS' IN USA

Breitbart's Big Journalism

When "journalists" confront conservatives, typically every claim, statistic, or assertion is challenged, but when talking to kindred spirits, reporters allow any manner of claim to pass by unchallenged. Such is the case with NBC's interview of spokesmen for CAIR who, without any proof, were allowed to claim that "a spike in hate" against Muslims was occurring in the U.S.A.

Jim Gold of NBC News spends the more than half of his recent report giving spokesmen for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) all the room they needed to make the claim that after the Muslim rioters attacked American embassies in Egypt and Libya, they have seen more calls to their offices reporting hate crimes and discrimination against Muslims in the U.S.

Naturally, Mr. Gold never bothers to ask these Muslim activists for any proof of their claim. He just reports it straight as if it is simply a fact. If this were conservatives making such a statement, Gold would never allow the claim to be taken as Gospel truth without challenge like he did here. He would have had "experts" included in the story to rebut the conservative's claims. But Gold did not seem interested in such "balance," here.

There was another little fact that NBC's Gold did not tell his readers: The FBI says CAIR works closely with the terrorist group the Muslim Brotherhood. Apparently CAIR are the good guys as far as Gold is concerned so that fact is ignored.

Of course, this story is typical of the Old Media establishment. Every time there is violence committed against Americans overseas by Muslims, the first thing our Old Media does is stampede to CAIR to see if evil Americans are oppressing American Muslims here at home. CAIR is only too happy to say there is and to use the opportunity for its own propaganda.

I have also noticed that after every Islamic atrocity, the MSM immediately goes on a search of evidence of Muslim oppression in this country.

The narrative is that we are racists bigots, they are naturally prone to violence.  In other words, they are like wild animals having no moral agency.  Do these "reporters" every realize how bigoted and demeaning that is?
