More and more, I want to blog on the fact that "terror" is a media war.
Terror only exists because the mainstream media gives continuous aid and
comfort to these murders, encouraging more senseless deaths. The only reason
we use the word "terror" is because the media promotes fear in the way that it
reports the actions of Islamic fundamentalists. Terror is an emotional
response, not an action. (Read
Diana West take on this.) More people die from bicycle accidents than
from terrorists, but the media doesn't don't brand bicycles as "terror
contraptions." The media doesn't cover every death on the front pages and top
of the broadcast. The media certainly doesn't air the views of those that hate
bicyclists (they are out there), gloating every time someone dies in a bicycle
accident. Yet it does all these things to promote fear of the Islamic
madmen.
