Hi Everyone,
Here's an example of the media misleading people with their strategic ignorant communication...
The Midwest Islamic Center in Schaumburg, IL was recently vandalized in an overnight break-in. Donations were stolen, the front door was smashed, and an office was completely trashed. And to make matters worse, the vandal(s) even took the liberty of smearing blood all over the building. Pretty bad huh?
So last night I'm watching the news and a reporter goes through the entire story in all it's grotesque detail. At the end of the story, he says "investigators are trying to determine if this is a "hate" crime."
This begs the question --- when was the last time someone who liked you stole your money, vandalized your home/business, and then splattered their blood all over? Maybe the news reporter thinks this could possibly be a "like" crime. I do not have to be some highly-trained police investigator or a media mogul to figure out this is an absolute "hate" crime and should be treated as such.
Bottom line...always be extra critical of what anyone tells you...especially the media! Use common sense first and leave blind faith to the moonies, sunnies, and all the other crazy religious radicals.
Until next time...
Peter
