Shooting at Ft Hood Media Coverage

As if this incident weren't tragic enough the fact that the media keeps saying he is "an American of Muslim decent". How can you be of Muslim decent, it's a religion. I feel like they are doing it to get people more inflamed, like we need it! You would NEVER hear, "he is an American of Catholic decent". I'm furious.

Re: Shooting at Ft Hood Media Coverage

  • this is true.  DH is one of those that went nuts when he heard about it.  That is not what bothered me.  What bugs me is that these soldiers just got back from war in afghanistan and such and for their counselor, you would think they would have someone who does not immediately remind them of what they were fighting about, do you know what I mean?  That could not have helped the healing process much.  And it couldn't have been good for the guy that did all this to be constantly hearing about people's feelings toward the "muslim decent".  KWIM?

  • The media has been distinguishing bad acts my those of "Muslim decent" since 9/11. Sensational journalism. People buy more newspapers, watch more TV when it's something they care about or arouses emotions. The American people have a very wrong, but constantly reinforced idea that all Muslims are anti-American or terrorists.

  • I made the same point to David last night MT, he agreed with me from the beginning, but I just had to get it off my chest. It makes me so mad!
