Ok - devils advocate only - has it not done what it set out to do and provoked discussion on the topic?

Mrs JTL

Just out of curiosity, why do you state "and the content was more factual"? The article may be written in a biased, unfair and unbalanced manner but I know for a fact that the UK incident that was mentioned did happen? I assume that all of the incidents occured but what is being criticised in this posting is the manner, context and semantics with which it was reported.

The subjects may be Muslims, black Americans, or immigrants. David Horowitz is well known in the US for his extreme views, and very often his views are considered by many as racist. Do a Google search on his name and you'll see what I mean.

There are people out there who don't have the brain you and some of us on the forum have, and can be easily misled by these unbalanced articles.

You got me there. I think I wrote that before someone (you?) posted the link to the site.
