Just a observation today that I find odd and hypocritical. Actually, I find it down right stupid.When the 50 people were killed in the New Zealand Mosque attack in March, the mainstream media demanded that the victims were identified as Muslims. Andrew Scheer was grilled by the CBC for not using the words Muslim when referring to the victims in his Tweets.Now, with 290 people killed in this Sri Lanka attack, CBC, CNN, Hillary, and Obama will not use the word Christian to identify the victims. They are simply "Easter Worshippers".Not only that, CBC will not use the word Muslim to identify the perpetrators who are responsible for the bombings. The Sri Lankan government released the group responsible: National Thowfeek JamaathThis group is a radical Muslim group but you will not find that mentioned ever by the CBC.This part really gets to me though. In Edmonton, in March, after the New Zealand attack, the EPS stepped up patrols around Edmonton Mosques and this was widely broadcast in our local news.Did EPS step up patrols on Christian Churches here at Easter after 290 were killed in Sri Lankan Churches? Nope, not a peep. The news was out many hours before many Easter Masses here.A little hypocritical there now, hey EPS?
I don’t watch local news nor do I listen to local radio news stations. Canada’s media system makes me ill, I just get mad listening to it. I read my news, I read the Financial Post and the National post daily, then the BOE report. If I listen to talk radio it’s the Patriot on satellite radio. When they wife puts on the local news after supper I leave the room, can’t stand it.
