Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent).


they go on to say...



We examined news coverage from LexisNexis Academic and CNN.com for all terrorist attacks in the United States between 2011 and 2015. Controlling for target type, fatalities, and being arrested, attacks by Muslim perpetrators received, on average, 449% more coverage than other attacks. Given the disproportionate quantity of news coverage for these attacks, it is no wonder that people are afraid of the Muslim terrorist. More representative media coverage could help to bring public perception of terrorism in line with reality.





in other words, even right wing propaganda tanks are dismayed at how easy it is to brainwash dumbfuck right wing bigots and would kindly ask that we stop going down this road that they set us down upon.

Please let them lose all credibility...

It will accelerate the leftward shift that's coming towards American politics like a giant tsunami.
