And to hold that position is an achievement of supreme effort.
“By Douglas Ernst – The Washington Times – Tuesday, November 29, 2016
“A CNN host used a segment on Islamophobia on Monday to suggest American non-Muslims may want to start wearing hijabs.
“’New Day’ with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota featured a piece titled ‘The Trump transition: Fearful Muslim women take steps to be safe’ just hours before Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 20, attempted to use a vehicle and a butcher knife to kill Ohio State University students. The ill-timed story ended with Ms. Camerota discussing ways to ease the fears of Muslim Americans.
“’Maybe there will be a movement where people wear the head scarf in solidarity. You know, even if you’re not Muslim,’ Ms. Camerota said, The Daily Caller reported Tuesday. ‘Maybe it’s the way people shave their heads, you know, sometimes in solidarity with somebody who is going through something.’”

“…the way people shave their heads … sometimes in solidarity with somebody who is going through something.” Going through something. Like, maybe, cancer? This woman suggests President-Elect Donald Trump has made Muslim women as fearful as though they had cancer.

Cable news
Dish and Turner are in a “Did, too” “Did not” pi$$ing contest over money (what else?). MSNBC is in the CNN slot, with Al Jazeera taking HLN’s channel. Glenn Beck’s BLAZE has a spot somewhere in the neighborhood, but he and his minions are certifiably nutso crazy and do not win a stop when the remote is activated. The lineup shuffle has brought about a good opportunity for comparison, thusly:
MSNBC and RT are equally propagandist, as well as meeting no standards for professional journalism. CCTV continues to use on-camera reporters who speak English words and phrases, but the reportage often indicates the reporters do not know what the words mean. RT is less obviously government dominated than is CCTV, but you know RT would not be so anti-West if not for some Putinists or former Commies involved somewhere. FOX has its blonds and blondes and retains a fondness for making stories out of nothing.
And TV and newspapers wonder why so many people get news and opinions from the internet. (Of course, it helps greatly if one has at least a bit of critical thinking, as well as the ability to spot BS.)
