(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 12:46 am (UTC)(link)And citing twitter as a resource is ridiculous. What context does the use of a hashtag on a site with a broad but still limited demographic actually give you?

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 01:46 am (UTC)(link)OP should probably examine their news sources, selectively widen their intake of media and realize that just because the media you're watching isn't showing you something, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Your media is choosing what to show you, and that's a bias in itself. As long as you understand what's happening, you won't be fooled into thinking that what you see on TV is an accurate representation of the world as a whole.
Re: Dumb thoughts thread
(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 02:24 am (UTC)(link)That's certainly been my experience re: seeing plenty of examples in the media I consume (mostly British media). Not only via news media sources, but I've seen Muslims commenting on the Sydney hostage incident on general entertainment shows, and Muslim callers into talk radio sobbing over the murders of aid workers, all of them condemning these horrifying actions.
Maybe OP's location is informing (or not, as the case may be) their perceptions.
Re: Dumb thoughts thread
(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 02:44 am (UTC)(link)And now I see other people have been asking the same question, except they generally mean, "why don't Muslims just admit they're terrorists?" Which I know is bullshit.
Re: Dumb thoughts thread
(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 03:28 am (UTC)(link)It might be helpful to cite your sources in that case. Like another anon said elsewhere in this thread, it can be difficult to tell whether you've stumbled onto a legitimate news site or a site with a definite bias (although that's not to say some news sites don't have a bias too, because hooo boy some of them do -- and not everyone realizes that, either). That's why I don't really rely on online sources for news in the first place, or at the very least make certain I have a very broad cross-section of opinion.
And also to just broaden your consumption of media where possible. Seek out media that's targeted at different people, seek out real people's voices. Don't form opinions based on one avenue stream of information.
