quote:Good points. I guess the OP was so ridiculous that her reasoning seemed completley rational by comparison.
It's ridiculous that a journalist who thinks herself so knowledgeable of them hasn't stumbled upon the hundreds of obvious examples of exaggeration and deliberately misleading ISIS claims. She's confirming her bias and writing attention grabbing stories in doing so.
But I find it odd how she noted her "50 examples." I have no idea how she made any determinations about it. It's more scientific than a lot of the junk, but still not very scientific.

She included "sympathetic to ISIS" as a criteria. Considering that ISIS is the hot shite for Sunni terrorists, this is going to rope in a huge number of attacks, and attributes them to an organization that may not have had any actual involvement. It's dumb.
