Intolerant America not being covered by WSJ or CNN

[Hello It's me]

I recently encountered this news US Teen Goes To School Dressed As Her Idol Malala, But Faces Abuse

She may have been trying to look like her favourite celebrity, but an American girl got a first-hand taste of Islamophobia in her country.

The tragedy was the fact that she had been asked by her teacher to come dressed as her favourite celebrity, which happened to be Malala Yousafzai.

Nathalie Andrea Aramburo wrote that she was teary-eyed after a 20-minute drive in which she felt threatened. But she said the incident only increased her respect for true Muslims and also made her realise the harm stereotyping can cause to ordinary people.

This is what she has written on her facebook profile page:-

"
My professor asked us to go to class today dressed as our favorite celebrity. So today I attended my college class dressed like this. I wore a Hijab and covered every inch of my body (I had a long sleeve T over this). As soon as my parents saw how I was dressed, they were terrified for my safety. I dismissed their concerns and continued to class dressed this way.
I was representing Malala Yousafzai, an 18 year old Muslim woman who was shot in the face by Taliban gunmen at the age of 15 for being a female attending school. She is now the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner and a Women's Rights Activist, Children's Rights Activist, and an activist for education.
It breaks my heart to say this, but on my way to school today I experienced first-hand the fear & hatred against Islam. As I was driving, I have more than a few people roll their windows down to stick their middle fingers at me, near the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru a young white male threw his coffee at my car, and 2 F-250 trucks chanced me down on Jog Rd and tried to crash into my tiny Toyota Camry...
In just a 20 minute drive to class, I felt that my life was threatened. But this only made my eyes open wider. The message is like for you to take from this is: terrorism is not a fair representation of Islam. Someone wearing a Hijab is simply a symbol of the Islam religion, but not of terrorist attacks.
We can't judge a book by the cover like many did to me today... Maybe people thought that because I was wearing a Hijab, I was responsible for the ISIS attacks that happened just recently.
As I drove in tears and arrived to class in tears, my respect for TRUE Muslims and my desire for peace only grew stronger. We don't realize how often stereotyping happens and how often it puts people in danger.

Edit: People are telling me that I'm brave... I'm not brave... I just need everyone to realize what discrimination is doing to society. There are people who deal with this prejudicing/stereotyping constantly and continue to be proud of who they are... THEY are brave, NOT ME.

I wonder why WSJ or CNN is not covering this news. The situation looks grave and none of the international media covered this.Wait, they are busy covering intolerant India

Wait, they are busy covering intolerant India

We don't give a sh** about India either. Most Americans don't care about what happens outside of our borders or doesn't involve our citizens or our interests. India, while important to the US government and US policy, doesn't feature very high to most Americans, just those with a vested interest in India.

I wonder why WSJ or CNN is not covering this news. The situation looks grave and none of the international media covered this.

As for your comment on the article, everything can be a national story now, all it takes is a video and social media, but not everything needs to be or does become such. Somethings are local events, some are extremely locals and stay on campus. This case was bad for the individual, but didn't aggravate to the point of national attention - as some local protests, like those at Yale regarding racial discrimination/

It's also worth noting that this event didn't gain any coverage outside of the immediate area, no national news outlets have been covering it. It just isn't of enough gravity to warrant national coverage. But when your despairing the media landscape in the US, who really cares for such details anyway.

You're free to look around of national news outlets if you think otherwise, it's hardly WSJ or CNN that have been neglectful. And let me ask you this: since new outlets cater to their audience, does the US audience even have an interest? If so then it's a problem the new outlets fail to carry the story. But if the US audience doesn't care, why carry the story?

This is the first I've heard of this story. I'm quite international and varied in my daily new-crawling.

Yeah? Daily US has discrimination on religious grounds but I don't see any major newspaper covering it but a single statement by a Muslim actor in India is covered extensively in WSJ and CNN day in day out. I can post several links. Why such hypocrisy Sir?

 

[Falcon29]

CNN is run by Jews. They constantly post anti-Muslim content but also anti-white content. So when CNN is 24/7 covering topics related to Muslims then naturally people will catch on to what the media is feeding them and it creates this hostile environment. Media is a powerful tool.

The example for the attacks on whites is that CNN always covers news related to white on black violence but never shows it the other way around. Of course they will defend certain 'whites' like George Zimmerman since he happens to be a Jew. Whenever you turn on CNN, don't suspect Americans. They are not Americans even if they have white skin color. Look at their names, usually they have Jewish names and this is when you know you have to be suspicious of their agenda.

Of course Jew-N-N never aired a single minute of anti-Jewish content in their whole history of broadcasting.

hey come on, nothing wrong in USA

 

[CIABurnerAccount]

Why such hypocrisy Sir?

There is none when the events are disconnected. Hypocrisy doesn't mean what you think it is and given coverage one event but neglecting another doesn't amount to a hypocritical view point regarding the neglected case. Different cases, different criteria, unless you think all cases of discrimination or harassment can be lumped into the same group? Discrimination happens everyday in the US, everywhere in the word everyday, would you run an article everything someone was disparaged? If someone in India was harassed, would you highlight every case? The US problems with Islamophobia are well-documented, in the aftermath of the recent shooting in California such conclusions came about rather abundantly, it's been noted before:

Here's a nice article on the recent shootings and their turn towards conclusions and bigotry.

The ugly Islamophobia in the media coverage of the San Bernardino shooting - Vox

The case in the article may be important to you, grave even, but in the grand scale of US Islamophobia it's merely another drop and one that wasn't significant enough to a national audience to warrant their attention. News outlets feature what their views want to see, it seems the American public is more concerned about mass gun violence and less about harassment, which is a daily occurrence elsewhere too. No one in this country denies religiously motivated harassment occurs, this event just isn't important enough in the grand scale of the US to warrant further interest. Hence there was none.

...

The tone of your wording indicates a prior bias, I'll leave you to discuss among yourselves.

 

[Hello It's me]

Exactly my point. Discrimination happens in every country and India is no stranger to that. But, lately i have seen international media glorifying even the smallest issues pertaining to intolerance in India while not giving so much coverage to their domestic affairs. A part of the blame should go to Indian media for blowing things out of proportion but since The United States is considered to be the center of the world, it should provide balanced opinion and not blatantly mislead people, as US media caters to the world audience and when they write something, it is taken as gospel truth.

 

[Falcon29]

Give me one example of Jew-N-N bashing the Jews like they do with every other non-Jewish entity.

 

[simple Brain]

This incident explains a lot. So Pakistan is not the only Country where you will find extremists and fanatics. They are called American Taliban in US.

 

[Aestu]

Anyone who talks about Malala Yousafzai as if she's a positive figure in any way is instantly given away as a liar.

The people who say the US is intolerant are the same people who left behind garbage countries where ethnic quarrels are resolved with the Kalashnikov. The very fact they now come to the US and tell us it sucks and that it's "intolerant" betrays the truth that these Muslims are bringing with them their destructive belief that Muslims should always have all the power wherever they are and that it is an insult to Islam when other cultures believe they are entitled to sovereignty in their own land.

And this is why the Muslims should be expelled from the West.

CNN is run by Jews. They constantly post anti-Muslim content but also anti-white content. So when CNN is 24/7 covering topics related to Muslims then naturally people will catch on to what the media is feeding them and it creates this hostile environment. Media is a powerful tool.

Except, you know, all their talk about Israel and how they're preventing Fakistinian children from going to school by carpet bombing for no particular reason. Or their support of Obama.

 

[oproh]

America is a racist country, so it's natural that american propaganda news agency are not covering such accidents.

Is this is a joke? All their coverage on Israel is simply relaying right wing Israeli narrative to Americans and is anti-Palestinian. Obama is mad pro-Jewish and pro Israel. If he wasn't he wouldn't be allowed in power at all. Let me see one American candidate go out and say he wants nothing to do with Israel and see how far he gets.

It happens but rarely and mostly in those communities which are not too diverse. Talk about India well dude if she was in India her first insecurity would've been being rapped by bunch of men and then her life would've worth nothing compared to a cow.Honest thing is Muslims in US are far better and have a far better life style You work hard you get what you work for as a result muslims in America are more productive and humble people in American society which is a result of harmony among people.And this harmony is far more and tolerance level very high which is not in any other country may it be Europe.We throw God knows what kind of house stuff at our brothers and sisters when we are angry at them but we never put a life of a damn cow over a life of human. This is America and yes a proud American muslim who will proudly apologize for nothing. Any country or people who blame US for there own misfortunes need to look into their own collar for dont blame America and Americans and we will not be lectured too.
