Al Jazeera > CNN, Fox News, etc etc
now am i saying that the muslim world media is correct? of course not. but what is it guilty of? over exagerating certain things. for example, it may downplay some of the wrongs muslims do. i admit that.
but western media, is not just simple exageration. it is a complete twisting and fucking of the truth. it has turned reality upside down. the victims are the aggressors and the aggressors are the victims
im speaking foreign news here. one thing the west uttersly shits on muslim media is domestic news, which of course relates to the individual freedoms. that i dont doubt.

Now hold on a bit. I don't defend the bias of the mainstream media here but you can find most things if you dig a bit. Now I can only go by what I have been told but of my many, and I mean many, middle eastern friends just about everyone that remembers living there tells me that you couldn't find contrary points of view anywhere in many countries there. North America has many shows that contradict the norm. They may be at odd times or be presented as idiots but it is there to see if you look. No one I know that has come from the middle east has said otherwise with regards to some countries (others are more advanced of coursed). I don't like the constant Christ bashing in the media as a Christian but I absolutely adore the fact that they can do it. Now if there is anti-Allah TV shows or commentators in places like Iran, Afghanastan, etc then I'm wrong, but unless my friends are lying to me they don't have things like that. Al Jazeera is one channel. I'm talking about the whole spectrum here. (it's not like this is a middle eastern problem, or a muslim problem It's everywhere. Shit, 40 years ago right here if an episode of South Park aired there would have been riots. I'm just saying that right now the media is more balanced in the west as a whoe than it is in the middle east from what I've been told).

When his posts are obviously in jest, no, but when he at least seems serious I will respond. I don't respond to him so much as I merely present another view not filled with insults or ridicule like Walker would, and I do it for the sake of the lost sheep that a) may not know what's up, and b) may be easily influenced. Anyone that isn't sure about who they are and are struggling with themselves will automatically jump to the side of the underdog and the white, republican, racist is never the underdog in anyone's mind and when he throws insults it makes him worse. Some of Tech's extreme views may really mess with some heads because of his position, while someone like Walker is more often than not seen as a villain. I also respond for my sake. I could be wrong about what I think and if someone reads my response and corrects my false points then no one benefits more than me. If it were just for Tech I'd just PM him.
