well, i would say 'none of them,' or 'all of them, in context,' meaning their motivations must be taken into account, and their answers to pointed questions as to the differences in their stories weighed--which is about where their prejudices become revealed. But, carrying your analogy further, when one source downplays or completely omits information deemed newsworthy by others, it is to those others that you must at least reflect for information.

Really, i think it best to just mostly disregard any news, as it all seeks to form your opinion of events that usually have very little to do with how your domain gets nourished that day, imo, if you are truly not in the world. Any but local news strikes me as 'peering in,' to be honest, except maybe for the human interest pieces. I'm quick to ignore or change news that can only generate fear, especially 'from afar.' So i guess it depends upon what one seeks in 'news.' I look for breakthrough stories of others solving problems now.

Fearful news sells much better. Just like the saying bad news travels fast. Good news gets lost. lol.

yup. but i notice that local news is more often of the beneficial kind, and we have the net now, and can consciously seek the good news--it just takes more work!

also, if you are attracted to fearful news, you should take a look at that. Killer bees are admittedly fascinating, at first hearing, and seem like cogent news; until it keeps us up at night, and has supplanted the truth that it is God who decides our fates. We are advised in Scripture to pay no mind to most of these, i think.

Muslim activist Irshad Manji let slip a very shocking statistic while trying to manifest that the Islamist threat in France was caused by poverty and societal disenfranchisement.

Muslims are 8-10% of the French population but 60% of the prison population.

Lol the media fakes half of the stuff they show anyway. Like CNN with Jaco, Rochelle, and them in front of a green screen pretending they were in Saudi Arabia, which they admitted to being in a recording studio outside atlanta. You only know what your shown and you can't believe any of it. What better way to control a people than to control their information. Making them feel comfortable while stripping them of everything. Or Anderson Coopers nose dissappearing when he was in front of a green screen during the supposed funeral of a sandy hook victim... which they used the same pictures from hook victims as they did boston bombings and so on and so forth. Its all orchestrated to complete an agenda to strip rights and move things into place for a one world order true to prophecy like the bible says.

Best way to lie is offer 6 different lies and allowing the person to choose which one they want to believe more.

That being said I work around multiple muslims and we get along great, beliefs and all.... but that may be my beard... I dunno lol.

Because, of course, it couldn't have anything to do with people breaking the law. A disproportionate percentage of a demographic being in prison HAS to mean discrimination.

To say the radicals are some kind of anomaly is simply diluting the reality. Where do you find in large numbers radical Christian groups seeking to wipe out all of those who do not believe in Jesus? The number is minuscule. There are millions, at least and maybe more, of Muslims who either physically support jihad, financially support jihad, or theoretically and philosophically support jihad. How many Muslim countries were present at the rally in Paris? I don't know. I'd be surprised if there were any significant representation. I'm not making fun of Islam. I'm laughing at the foolish attempts to be politically correct and tip toe around the issue.

Islam has a serious problem of violence, murder, and death following in it's wake. If you dispute that you definitely have your head in the sand.
