Why do Americans increasingly distrust the establishment media? Aside from its rampant and ever-growing record of dishonesty, deceit, and unfairness, there are articles such as this one, featuring such spectacularly poor reasoning that it is astonishing that even The Atlantic let it get through their system.

By Christine Williams on Apr 27, 2017 12:45 pm

Palestinian leaders have vowed to sue the British Government after it refused to apologise for a 1917 declaration that paved the way for the creation of Israel.

By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2017 11:09 am

The Guardian does not see fit to provide any identifying information about this knife carrier, other than that he is male and was apparently planning an act of terrorism. They were probably hoping that he would turn out to be a “right-wing extremist,” but such people are much more active in Leftist fantasies than in […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2017 09:30 am

“Interior Minister Matthias Fekl said the suspect’s mother was also being questioned.” This is a generational conflict that will not be resolved by facile attempts at “deradicalization” that fail to address the root causes of “radicalization” in the Qur’an and Sunnah. “Reunion island: French police shot by suspected Islamist,” BBC, April 26, 2017: Two French […]
