By calling it radical Islamic terrorism before the facts came in. This is right after they showed the video of the guy shouting allahu Akbar after assassinating an ambassador. Definitely sounds like a Christian attack

Also, in the CNN article about the attack, the first sentence says a man shouting about Aleppo, and no mention of allahu akbar

NYT was saying he was shouting "God is Great". Not Allahu akbar. That should tell you everything about what he stands for.

The part I saw on CNN, they were saying that guy was shouting, "God is great". Conveniently leaving out that it was in Arabic

I hate how they translate this. With no mention of the fact that it was translated.

Lol what is the issue? They translated Arabic to English for an English speaking audience. Who doesn't know what it means? Non issue

I actually went and looked at the article and it was done correctly. However, it is journalistically dishonest to quote the terrorist as shouting "God is Great" without at least mentioning the fact that he was shouting in Arabic or whatever the hell he was speaking.

Dude it's translated by a bot. No human read it and converted it to English.

Funny because earlier in the day Jake Tapper was complaining that Trump had not tweeted about today's attacks yet.

Isn't that understood he is speaking Arabic? I don't understand what your point is. Dishonest? It's a linguistic translation. You should pick another battle. It doesnt reflect well on you.

a lot of people

you can just as easily flip it around and ask why they're so scared to report this

this is not the only time they refused. remember the DOJ translation of the Orlando shooter's comments?

the Orlando shooter didn't speak in Arabic

quote:

OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic].


no agenda
