Terrorist attacks under-reported? Says Trump...

Well lets see if this is accurate. Are you saying Billy and Franklin Graham have abandoned or never cultivated rational thought? They are Trump supporters, as well as the majority of Christians.

History is replete with examples of atrocities of every description being perpetrated in the name of God. The only thing that ever changes is the name of God itself: Jehovah, Allah, Yahweh, Donald...

How's the terror situation around your way Phil? Nobody's reporting the terror and mayhem around this area, nothing at all abotu the carnage, the body count, the terrible suffering. We know why that is! [Because it's not happening.]

No worries - I'm sure that if and when the next jihadist attack hits on U.K. soil, phil3000 will be cheerfully boasting on these forums about how he was right all along, Donnie-style.

Good to hear from you KN in deepest Islamic State Europe. I had to fear for you after that nice Mr T said you were in the epicentre of a new Attila the Hun or something, but there's just no news coming out - what are we to do? Where should we turn? [ Franklin -send-a-donation Graham?? ]

So, the BBC took his list and published it here:

Seems Trump is exaggerating... again... or lying... or just plain stupid.

You see, if you want to tell fibs, you shouldn't tell the one's which can so easily be fact-checked.

Really! I'm off spank the monkey in joyful delight.

Trump proven right: Media spinning terror stories
President Donald Trump has been severely critical of the news media for doing what he called a poor job of covering instances of Islamic terrorism not only in the U.S. but around the world.
http://www.wnd.com/2017/02/trump-proven-right-media-spinning-terror-stories/
The White House released a list late Monday of 70 terrorist attacks “executed or inspired” by ISIS, many of which Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said were not give sufficient coverage by the national media.

“You have seen what happened in Paris and Nice. All over Europe, it’s happening,” Trump told military leaders at the U.S. Central Command. “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that.”

One of the first news agencies to counter Trump’s allegations was the BBC, which on Tuesday ran a compilation of all its stories about the terrorist events on the administration’s list.

But as many terrorism experts told WND, it’s not the amount of coverage given to a specific event that counts but rather the type of coverage.

A classic example of that can be found by comparing and contrasting the coverage that two news agencies – WND and the BBC – gave to a brutal machete attack at the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant one year ago in February 2016 that left four patrons wounded, one critically.

In the BBC story, there is no mention of the words Islam, jihad, Muslim, refugee or immigrant. Every one of those words applied to the attacker, Mohamed Barry, who was a Muslim immigrant from the West African country of Guinea, as pointed out in the WND story.

“Trump is absolutely correct. The point is not that they ignore the stories, but they deliberately conceal and/or misrepresent the aspects of them that make it clear that they’re Islamic jihad attacks,” said Robert Spencer, editor of Jihad Watch.

One notorious example of this is the Orlando massacre, Spencer said.

“Mainstream news outlets claimed that he was a conflicted gay man lashing out at other gays,” he said. “This was outright disinformation: The FBI later announced that there was no evidence that he was gay, no gay apps on his phone, etc. Few outlets published his actual remarks, making it clear that he was killing for ISIS and Islam. The coverage of terrorist incidents in general in the establishment media deliberately misleads the public.”

One terrorist event not included on the White House list was the Chattanooga shooting in which Mohammad Abdulazeez killed five unarmed U.S. servicemen at a Navy recruiting center in July 2015. It took five months for the Obama Justice Department to declare the attack was an act of terrorism, and very little mainstream reporting was done to keep the attack in the national spotlight during those five months of silence by the DOJ. In other words, no pressure was placed on the administration to admit the obvious terrorism connections while the attack was still fresh in the minds of the news-consuming public.
Then came the University of California at Merced knife attack in November 2015 by a student there, Faisal Mohamed, whose parents emigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan.

The BBC did not report on the obvious jihadist markings in the attack, which wounded four people and would have been worse if a brave construction worker and officer had not intervened. The FBI waited four months to declare the attack an act of terrorism, disclosing that Mohamed had links to ISIS and had visited radical websites. Many national news agencies never covered the original attack. The BBC published a brief article on the incident after the FBI report came out, but by that time few Americans were paying attention. At least the BBC covered the FBI’s belated findings. Most establishment media companies did not.
Faisal Mohammad was an 18-year-old student at UC-Merced.

The British-based BBC often provides more coverage of terrorist attacks than its U.S. counterparts, ABC, CBS and NBC, said Phillip Haney, retired Homeland Security officer who for more than 13 years screen immigrants and refugees for connections to terrorism.

Jesus wept. He will see terrorists under the bed at night.

A bit from Wiki:

"WND (WorldNetDaily) is a politically conservative American news and opinion website and online news aggregator. The website has garnered much controversy for promoting conspiracy theories, which have led some journalists to label it a far-right fringe website.[3][4][5][6][7] It was founded in May 1997 by Joseph Farah with the stated intent of "exposing wrongdoing, corruption and abuse of power".[8] The website publishes news, editorials, and opinion columns, while also aggregating content from other publications.

WND is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with Farah serving as its editor-in-chief and CEO."

I have to admit it's tough in here. I can hardly get to work without dodging a dozen suicide bombers, while constantly having to avoid the blood running through the streets from goats and decapitated infidels alike.
