It is a fact. ABC is airing a television show called &#8220;Good Christian Bitches.&#8221; Never mind the outrage over the recent Sandra Fluke business, but there is a double standard. And let&#8217;s not fool ourselves as the media would never tolerate a story where &#8220;Muslim&#8221; was substituted for &#8220;Christian&#8221; in that show. The media&#8217;s present politically correct excuse is that Islam binds certain minority group&#8217;s cultures in a way Christianity does not. First, that is crap and speaks of a secular ignorance about many Christian communities even in this country. Second, it is an excuse so the media does not have to admit it is scared of muslims. You&#8217;ll see a news story about Christ in a jar of urine, but don&#8217;t ever expect to see a cartoon of Mohammed on the nightly news. The reporter doesn&#8217;t want to get murdered.I am starting to wonder if the same holds true in the present war our country finds itself in that too few reporters are really brave enough to cover. We are at war on our southern border with Mexico and the press is really not doing justice to coverage of the war.The latest story points out just how much of a war it is and just how badly our government and Mexico are handling themselves.]]>Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:48:00 -0500<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2012/03/05/we-are-at-war-is-the-media-scared-to-really-cover-it-n42447
