<p class="">This type of idiocy is what drives a wedge between the left and right. CNN should fire her immediately but sadly I don't think they will.
Technically, it's an accurate stat with the numbers to back it up. It's worded in such a way as to mislead the reader up front into thinking that overseas deaths, including the military, are included rather than the numbers being limited specifically to US soil. Shoddy journalism in that regard.
I don't understand. It's a well presented article with facts backing up the statement.

Click bait title for sure. Buzzfeed would be proud, as would a couple posters on here.
Didn't notice the Tweet itself, which is ridiculous and phrased in the most misleading way possible. I know, 140 characters and all, but if you can't fit accurate disclaimers into 140 characters, maybe you should think of another way to present the story.
She's leaving out the events at Fort Hood, and the sources she citing are completely false.
Hell the Boston Bombers where registered Democrats and she says that's radical Islam not left-wing radicals. It's such a blatant example of categorizing to fit an agenda it's sickening. The purpose is to demonize right-wing movements it's an agenda being driven in MSM and it's something that should be noticed and called out as hate propaganda when it comes up.
It's irresponsible propaganda being pushed by a radical member of the media. To even suggest the right wing is more dangerous then Radical Islam.
Also note she's leaving out not only the Fort Hood attack, but the beheading in the Midwest and only counting "official deaths of terrorism" which since Obama has been in office they've actively worked to categorize clear acts of terror as anything but.
hmmmm thanks for providing more information. I will have to look at this later on since my filters at worked pinged me earlier. I'll look more into it.
As an aside, do you get this fervent when RWM gets all up in a tizzy about death panels and the demonizing of the left they do? Just curious.

When the RWM makes something up and passes it off as factual absolutely. I've called out the RWM about their stance on Police Militarization and their false narrative about the war on drugs several times in this forum alone.
But this is a new low, what Sally Kohn is doing is creating a false statistical comparison by only counting "officially declared" acts of terrorism.
Clickbait garbage.
It'd be like if the right wrote an article about how the left has killed more than Hitler by including Abortions.
I have the same haircut that she has.
By contrast, terrorists motivated by al Qaeda's ideology have killed 21 people in the United States
since 9/11.
And before 9/11...or just from 9/10 on............add 3,000+

And that 21 number is complete fabrication I linked a chart showing over 40 events with 60+ deaths on us soil since 911

The FBI says a deliberate explosion outside a Colorado office of the NAACP may have been an act of domestic terrorism. An improvised explosive device was detonated on the NAACP building’s wall in Colorado Springs Tuesday morning. A gasoline can was placed nearby, but did not ignite. An FBI spokesperson says a hate crime is among the potential motives. Police have announced a person of interest in the case, a white male around the age of 40.
The investigation isn't even complete, and you think this is proof or justification of Shally Kohn's statements?
i'd be just as upset if Fox News was reporting more Americans are killed by Black Americans then Radical Islam, it would be the same misleading title and subject thread.
Sally Kohns intentions and misrepresentation of the facts are disgusting.

Just passing along information, buddy.
And I didn't state what I think or what I don't think so hold your horses.

CNN is nothing more than a commerical for the democratic party, and Fox news appears be that for the Republicans. What ever happend to honest journalism?
The two party system is corrupt and a monopoly, the candidates care more for their party than that of their constitutes.
One would hope that people realize the corruption and start voting and supporting independents.

I think the lines are drawn slightly differently. Fox News catered to the right, MSNBC catered to the left, and when CNN realized that they were left out in the cold, they decided to become a tabloid.
All of them cater to idiots.
