Terror incident in Paris

splashuum · 25-09-2020 5:06pm #1

Four people attacked with a meat cleaver in Paris by the old Charlie Hebdo offices. Sad to see how regular this type of crime has become. Pictures of the suspect are already online along with the bludgeoned cleaver.

Mainstream media not reporting on this much there's a surprise

biko · 25-09-2020 5:09pm

Actually, just google "Paris" and most major news outlets have a mention of the attack.

splashuum · 25-09-2020 5:13pm

When mayor of London Sadiq Khan stated terrorism was “part and parcel” of living in a city. He set a tone for Europe.

Really because I can find plenty of reports of it, including that unfortunately two people were attacked, not four as originally reported, and two arrests made so far.

mcmoustache · 25-09-2020 5:19pm

Back when the Hebdo massacre happened, publications around the world could have helped out by printing the pictures. If you had all major Western media publishing them, it would have made it more difficult to see this as just a Charlie Hebdo thing and moved the target off them somewhat. I understand their fears for their journalists but I think capitulating like that sent the wrong message. That and those cnuts could hardly go after everyone.

With the threat of Trump leaving the white house the Taliban are starting up again.

Its been looking promising in the middle east he has been doing the last few years. He started a method never used by american leaders before where he didnt start a war in the middle east.

Theres a couple of countries had signed peace deals and were recognizing Isreal as a state. Of course the press here doesnt report on the good things Trump does but he is nominated for the Nobel peace prize twice. The other one is his work in the Balkans.

Id say the loser kids are seeing the democrats ( who start a new war every term ) rioting in to power and probably see it as a call to arms. .

Brace yourself from being scared out in crowded events or on the bus to work for a while.

It's the third item on my Google News feed with link to both the Guardian and BBC. So I think it's fair to say you're wrong on that.

Why on earth would it be the leading story anywhere but France? The UK, for example, has over 6000 Covid cases today and they had a police officer shot by someone who smuggled a gun into custody with them. There are other things going on in the world today.

French news yeah I would say it would be the main story, don't know why it would be the main story on Irish news.

If anyone speaks French, BFM TV is brilliant for coverage of things like this. Sorry for all involved.

Their coverage of the Charlie Hebdo, and Bataclan and other things like the fire in Notre Dame was live, real, on the spot and quite frightening to watch at times.

The whole trope of terrorism not being reported by mainstream media?
Do those posting that, actually believe it?

It was headline news on Sky News at @12pm.
Even though the shooting of a police officer in the UK was taking up much of their coverage.
RTE initially reported on their website as 2 injured, also so both had reports on their leading bulletins.

Do people really subscribe to notion that there is an MSM effort to underreport or reduce reporting of attacks?

Yeah but if you ignore all the evidence to the contrary, then they have a good point. Probably some kind of COVID/muslim plot to plant 5G transmitters while nobody is covering the stabbing.

Man with broke phone · 25-09-2020 5:32pm

Police officer was shot in London today too, said suspect was on the terror list. I wonder was it related?

quokula · 25-09-2020 5:49pm

It's being over-reported in the media if anything.

How often would you expect a non-fatal stabbing in a foreign country to be top of the headlines here? Because not a day would pass without that happening somewhere. Or does it only matter on the rare occasion when you can use the perpetrator of the stabbing to justify your existing prejudices?

Don't understand it really, "mainstream media" especially constant news channels like Sky report these things to a huge depth. Sky repeat most of the same information at least once an hour. The argument from those complaining about it make no sense.

You're right in that the "mainstream media" can't win really - if they underreport, it's a cover-up conspiracy. If they overreport, it's a cover-up conspiracy to hide something else, or just part of the "radical left agenda"

He has, but from the Talibans point of view it looks like a violent coup with the democrats stealing power. A few splinter groups will get out of hand but in the grand scheme of things they will hold tight and see if democracy can happen.

If you signed a phone contract with 3 after having an issue with virgin media and virgin media seized all their offices and shops a few weeks later chanting defund the police would you be happy?

Technically they do but not under their own banner. Pakistani and Afghani Taliban fighters have operated as part of Iranian proxies such as Liwa Fatemiyon and Liwa Zainebiyoun in Syria.

I suppose if your social media feed is populated by reactionary headbangers who jump on every incident to fill your brain with 'the world is ending' hysterics then it would appear that the mainstream news-media is involved in some 'leftist' conspiracy, or some mad shit like that.

Well, fcuk that for an opinion. This is Europe. Around 500 years ago, our ancestors started the process of spreading knowledge and slowly shaking off the stranglehold that kings and religion had on free thought. It's been a long process that has gone backwards a few times and played out differently in different countries but for the most part, we've moved past the notion that the absurdities of religious belief are above mockery. Over the course of hundreds of years of mockery, the power of religion has waned. At least in Europe.

Religion is OK when not taken too seriously but when it is taken seriously, it's a cancer on society and Sunni Islam is in my opinion the worst of them for that. It's not only a personal belief system but a political ideology that its strongest adherents believe should encompass all aspects of life and everyone else's life. It's the kind of intolerance that we can do without.

I get that there are risks but we can't be in a position where mockery of a particular religion isn't allowed due to the craziness of its adherents. If we can't call a grown man who marries a child a pedo, we're in a bad place. The right to call stupid things stupid is vital to freedom from expression and for that to be infringed because of threats is something that we can't have here.

Well the media tends to be more left wing than right, I think that's a given.

But there's no cover up of this story at all. It's not a massive story (nobody is dead.. yet at any rate), but it's well reported. The fact that it is Islamic terrorism is not in dispute either.

Some people just want to watch the world burn, and making excuses for them is doing the devil's work. The Charlie Hebdo massacre was only one of dozens ISIL inspired attacks in France.

I suppose the Bataclan theater should not have shown public support for Israel. The Hypercacher kosher supermarket should not have been allowed to have provocative Jewish products. The Toulouse and Montauban shootings was in retaliation for the provocative ban on wearing religious clothing, and also because of the presence of Jews in France. The Nice attack was generally due to the provocative French bombing of ISIL targets. The perpetrator of the Paris bomb plot (who eventually went on to behead a priest in a church in Normandy) was motivated by.. the provocative presence of French people.

The corporate media? The media owned by billionaires? The media whose journalists prostitute themselves to corporate power? The corporate, billionaire owned, hack media, is 'left wing'?

I'm sure you've been well conditioned by reactionary oddballs to come to that conclusion alright.

The collective bed-wetting the corporate media engages in when Sanders in the US, Corbyn in the UK, or Mary Lou here, get near the levers of power demonstrates perfectly to those of a more thoughtful disposition exactly how 'left wing' the media is.

Edit: And the idea that the three names above indicate some sort of leftward paradigm shift is absolutely laughable and indicates just how thoroughly defeated 'the left' is.
