Media Bias is an Ugly Thing

As of 1/21/2011 FoxNews.com is running an article of the goofy gal that walked into the mall fountain while texting.  While perusing this piece, a small snippet jumped out at me, because it was so out of place. Forcibly crammed into this article were the lines below.

    

Now, is it just me, or does the "born again" designation have absolutely NOTHING to do with this story?!!!


I’m not sure whether this was Assistant District Attorney Melissa J. Noyes’ attempt at defaming Christians, or whether this bit of slander was Fox News’ baby. The quoted Reading Eagle report does not mention “The born again Christian”, so I assume this is Fox News’ baby.

We are not sure whether Cathy Cruz Marrero was a born again Christian prior to her Mall Fountain Baptismal or not…. There is a rumor out there that she was accessing the new “Virtual Baptism” app on her iPhone.

Media Bias…
On Nov. 5, 2009 we had a crazed gunman open fire on our military base in Fort Hood, Tx. Nidal Malik Hasan an American born Arab of Palestinian descent stood and hollered "Allahu Akbar!” and promptly shot down 42 people, 13 of which died, one of whom was a pregnant soldier. The unborn child was not officially counted as a casualty.

Hasan had a Soldier of Allah card in his wallet the time of the shooting. He had documented ties to Anwar al-Awlaki, the Imam for 2 of the 9-11 highjackers. And yet, in the immediate aftermath of this incident, very few would acknowledge that this terrorist was even a Muslim!

While most Muslims are not radical jihadists, the Muslim religion IS a VERY important part of most terrorists’ belief system. Yet for some odd reason, making the connection between the Muslim religion and terrorism is TABOO, but attacks against Christianity are commonly accepted.

Hasan screams "Allahu Akbar!” and mows down a bunch of innocents, “Let’s not jump to any conclusions.”
Some goofy chick walks into a fountain while texting, “The born again Christian has criminal charges pending against her!”

Media Bias out there? Yep, and this was on Fox News!


*Please note*
Fox News has since edited this story and changed the words "born again Christian" to "Marrero".
