It will stay hidden because it runs contrary to our own internal information operations. The info is out there...just gotta dig.
What The Atlantic Left Out About ISIS According To Their Own Expert
To borrow from Jon Stewart, ladies and gentlemen, here is you moment of zen:
We've said that a couple of two, three, dozen times on this board alone, so thanks for showing up to the game a decade and a half later.
"Others", huh? Unless "others" is measured in hundreds of millions then I can only offer a "so what" in return.
Signed,
N.S. al-Sherlock
Look, I'm pleased to see someone from that side of the aisle speak out, but like lindy said, it doesn't meet "our" message or worldview. Unless these guys have a prolonged media campaign and grow their numbers exponentially every month none of this will matter. This is a struggle of ideology, so good of you to join the party, but you're just now figuring this out or you've screamed it for the past GENERATION and no one listened?
Here's something to consider: If the media is left-leaning, and the left tends to be PC and wants to embrace humanity and blah, blah, blah, why aren't THEY trumpeting this message? You'd think these humanists would put the big, bag conservative war-mongers and Muslim haters in our places with this story, but where is it? Where are MSNBC, CNN, and the others?
Vermin.
I applaud the story but unless this movement brings a few hundred million to the show? Yawn. We're already running out of bombs.
ETA: Stacey Dash....Mmm, Stacey Dash....
Today I learned that NY Daily News is pretty much on its last legs. They were put up for sale earlier this year, nobody wanted to buy them, and have been doing a ton of mass layoffs recently. They have one foot in the grave so right now they're probably thinking "Fuck it, we'll do it live!!"

Dash and Peters were both correct, just not PC. If Fox suspends them for a while, it would speak well of Fox News.

Nobody reads fuckin newspapers anymore. Paper dinosaurs. They're all folding...so they gotta make as big a noise as they can just to get somebody to pay them some attention. That's why the NY Times ran that "unprecedented" anti-gun editorial on it's formerly sacred Page One. When your ass is sinking in quicksand you gotta make noise. Fuck them all.
People running papers seem to ignore a basic business rule.
Know your customer, If I am uber liberal and my target audience is conservative/moderate then my target audience will pass by.
The welfare queen doesn't read a fucking paper, and neither does the unemployed (or employed) recent college grad.
Older more conservative people use to read the paper and many (like me) stopped when the paper just became a democratic talking point.
Small town, conservative papers are holding their own (barely) but city papers lost, walked away from, their readers years ago.
I have no sympathy for them either.

...and these are dying by the week. They used to be the foundation to grow "real newspaper" reporters, but given the whopping $10,000/year salaries and decline of sales, these people are folding their tents, too.

In local and regional newspapers, excluding rags from state capitals, the practice of journalism is still alive and well; plus theu have decent crossword puzzles. When you are reading the bigger papers, the political influence is pretty obvious. Input from the White House and State Houses just seems to be about the only transparence out there. Even Motor Trend seems to have had a bias for GM products. Truck of the year: Chevy Colorado; there was no Ford product even looked at. Seems a bit odd to exclude the first Aluminum bodied truck ever offered. Car of the year: Chevy Camaro; again there was not a Ford included in the evaluations. Spin, and shaping of news is everywhere. I stick with my regional and local papers for news, and the crossword puzzles. For CONUS and world news I go with internet sources including the BBC, and even Al Jazeera America news. I am sick of the spin. I get Motor Trend because it is a two year gift subscription.

@Freefalling , I honestly think the MSM is afraid of a Charlie Hebo-type incident.
“If Muslims start criticizing these texts that ISIS is using, saying that they are no longer relevant or no longer applicable, ISIS would declare them apostate,” Haykel said. “If you start telling ISIS that following a tradition of the prophet has been abrogated, has been superseded by some other tradition or some other verse, or that it’s no longer valid, or that it applies only to the seventh century but not today because we’re modern, you will be declared an apostate on the spot by ISIS.”

It's a pretty sad state of affairs all of this, and I must partly blame my generation and the generation that grew up in the 90's. None of this stuff to me is hardly political anymore. Pretty positive the people born ten years before I slowly transformed everything into an issue on political correctness. Its not about Left or Right anymore, everything is focused on this. If I was to tell someone that I consider myself left, that doesn't mean I have to feed into PC garbage either.
Seems politics aren't furthering and people are really just focused on how to not hurt anyone's precious feelings. Pretty frustrating/infuriating to not really be able to do anything about it other than wait and hope people quit and decide to make POLITICAL change. Ah... Oh well. Maybe all there really is to do is just...
wait

P.S; Like someone said above me, most of this crap is in mainstream media anyhow. Find a good alternative news outlet and spread that stuff

I think it actually had more to do with the baby boomers than Gen X or the Millennials. But that's debatable on many levels, the issue is identification and correction at this point.
This is an incremental failing starting with the "Greatest" Generation. We hit "peak 'Merica" in 1945 and those returning Vets raised the war protestors of the 60's who in turn raised my generation, etc. This isn't one generation's fault, this is my grandparents', and parents', and mine, and....

Those who grew up in the nineties also spent the last 15 years fighting wars while you were sucking on your mommies tits.
I was really thinking, growing up we (gen x) were probably some of the most politically incorrect people around. I didn't stop calling people "fag" until the Army told me I would get I trouble for it.
Either way, 80's and 90's had the best music, best tv shows, and we didn't worry too much about offending anyone.
ETA: Now that I really think about it, my first introduction to political correctness was the Army, in OSUT, when we couldn't sing our 'good' cadence's anymore b/c of female soldiers might be offended. We did anyway, but it was only in our a/o. But yep, I never worried shit about what I said until I joined the Army.

Yup, each generation putting a new ingredient in the recipe for the shit sandwich we have before us. Part of it is the old "I want my kids to have it better than I did." That's well and good but carries unintended consequences.
But sadly too few of you, IMO, had to (and have to) carry the burdon of those wars. Can't remember the source but I read recently that post-conscription only 1% of the population defends the rest of us.
It's actually less like 0.8%
