Why Has the Press Underreported/Not Reported Terrorist Attacks?

1. 84

   Sychophantasticposted 7 years ago

   The White House provided a list of 78 terror attacks that it said the media had underreported or not reported. President Trump has told us that the media, for its own reasons, is not reporting these attacks. Some of those attacks include:
   
   truck attacks in Nice, France
   Paris, France (where apparently over 100 people died)
   an Orlando nightclub shooting
   an attack at the Brussels airport
   a shooting in San Bernardino
   
   And then there was Kellyanne Conway's mention of the Bowling Green massacre. In fact, she's mentioned this incident twice in the past few months.
   
   Have any of you heard of these attacks? I certainly have not, which obviously proves President Trump correct. These attacks happened and the media doesn't want us to know about them or wants to pretend like they weren't the work of radical Islamic terrorists.
   
   What do you think?

         Why would the media want to keep these things from their viewers? Are they afraid that if they call out terrorism when they see it, they will be providing support for an immigration ban?

            Last week a CNN reporter was seen drinking Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee, think about it. It is pretty clear that all American mainstream reporters are ISIS sleeper agents.

            The media didn't report on that tornado that killed ten thousand people in one Kansas town. Its amazing since that was more killed than all the tornados in recorded history combined, I believe. If obama hadnt reported it we still wouldnt know.

      I personally witnessed the Bowling Green massacre and barely escaped with my life. Fortunately, I know kung fu from watching movies and was able to take out three of the terrorists.

      I think the "truck attacks in Nice, France" reporting was the most ridiculous.  MSM hasn't wanted to say Islamic terrorist...that time they really showed how stupid they think their audience is. 
      
      A freaking truck attacked those innocent people in Nice, France!  Despicable!  Next they are going to say we need to ban all trucks?
      
      When its an Islamic terrorist it should be report as that, not covered up as something else.  A truck, my elbow!
      
      That isn't reporting..its BS.

         The truck attacks - I remember them well, they were certainly widely reported in Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand at the time. 
         
         It's policy, and a good one, not to label ANY attack as a terrorist attack until they know who did it.  Because labelling it as terrorist if it's not, will only make people panic.  In the case of the truck attacks, it was a terrorist attack although they're still not sure whether he was a lone wolf or part of a bigger group.
         
         I was aware of every single one of the so-called unreported attacks and can remember the reporting clearly.  I suspect the Americans who can't remember, are the kind of people who don't pay much attention to news outside America at the best of time, and therefore didn't pay attention to the reports. That's all.

         Michael Moore made an oscar winning documentary called Bowling for Columbine all about Bowling Green massacre.
         
         Don't think there is a clear documentary about the history of Yahweh/Christians unless you included dinosaurs and Flintstones.

      Real Americans would take these accusations more seriously. This is our safety, after all. Liberals took everything coming from the Obama White House as gospel and parroted it endlessly. This information is coming directly from the Trump White House and deserves to be taken seriously. The media are covering up terrorist attacks and limiting their coverage. They're trying to make America seem a lot safer than it really is.

   If you are afraid this statement might be true, do this:  Read a major city newspaper, watch more than on major network TV news, read a national weekly newsmagazine, then decide on the validity of news coverage.  Don't do this: Read blogs, listen to cable radio, watch only one TV network, read tweets.  See how much better informed you are.

      From being in the arts and entertainment business, have watched multi media De-evolved the last 40 years based on too much nonsense. There are some online networks that do make a good deal of sense with filming directly to what is really happening, not like the vast majority whitewashed mainstream media.

   Thank you for bringing attention to the issue of terrorist attacks that aren't reported enough. This is essential to talk about. It's also important to think about how it affects different businesses, like construction estimating.
   
   In a time where safety and security are very important, the construction industry has a big role in making our buildings and infrastructure strong against unexpected dangers. Making accurate cost estimates for construction is the first step in ensuring that buildings and places are designed and built with safety in mind. To protect against possible terrorist attacks, we need to think about these things when we plan and estimate the costs.
   
   We should encourage the construction and security industries to work together more and make more people aware of how underreported attacks can affect construction. As we try to make our security measures stronger, it's very important to include these ideas in our projects to protect our communities and things we value.
   
   Let's team up and make sure the construction industry stays alert, adaptable, and ready to face security challenges that change over time.
