    Why is this not being reported by mainstream American news outlets?

    Why is this not being reported by mainstream American news outlets?

    I did a search and included the names Fox and MSNBC with no hits.

    Odd.

    I wouldn't be surprised if isis has enemies who are just as unsavory but still I think this is newsworthy.

      Nothing regarding the queen of jordan as I linked to yesterday on fox or MSNBC either. It's as if mainstream media in american doesn't want you to know some things...

        I wouldn't exactly call those two outlets the mainstream media.

        But still...

          Really? I thought they were. Who would you classify as mainstream then?

            Its probably Arab propaganda.

              I would classify the mainstream media as the major newspapers and the three major networks. Fox News and MSNBC seem to be alternatives to thee network stranglehold.

                Not saying you're wrong, just wondering who. Things that get posted here don't tend to be from mainstream sites, the only ones I'd really heard of outside are Fox, HuffPost and NBC. CBS?

                  There, fixed. 🙂 American mainstream media is not about reporting facts, it is about projecting a narrative that supports a particular agenda.

                    who knows? Probably because most of the incendiary articles are covered in greater detail by certain news organizations.

                    The bias of the mainstream media is more subtle. One can count the number of articles about this story or that story look to see how many are favorable neutral or unfavorable and see where it is.

                      What is most interesting is the people who have been criticizing Arabs for supposedly not doing enough to fight back against terrorism will now see this kind of thing and call it "propaganda" or otherwise dismiss/discredit it, rather than be supportive of the very actions they said they wanted to see.

                        Still it's a pretty small story sir.

                        Even The New York Times mention called it a super secret organization. And just from the name and alternate names they don't exactly sound like a group looking to instill Jeffersonian democracy. I'm glad someone is standing up to Isis but remember there were people standing up to Kadafi who were no better.

                          I would like to see it become a big story that leads to more people like them signing up to fight Isis. As for the name, I'd hesitate to draw conclusions from it. This I think is more telling. Quoted from the story:

                          "Eighty per cent of the members of White Shroud did not take part in combat before (Islamic State) came. We trained them and they joined White Shroud because of the great oppression they felt after Islamic State took control,"

                          As for democracy, I think expectations must be tempered. Non-extremist dictators are preferable to religious zealots. Further insights about the group are here (apparently there are many others).

                            Well I for one am glad SOMEBODY is standing up for themselves there

                            Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                              In more 'Muslim-on-ISIS' news, Iran have, acting independently of the coalition, started bombing ISIS.

                                    Just to add to the irony, the Iranian jets in the photo that are being used to bomb ISIL are American-made F4 Phantoms.
