AP Whitewashes Fresno Terrorist Attack

When bias gets in the way of factual reporting

You wouldn’t know it from reading the Associated Press headline, but the latest terrorist attack which left three dead was perpetrated by a gunman who yelled, “Allahu Akbar” while being arrested.

The AP isn’t wrong that the suspect said “God is great”, but why translate a common jihadi mantra? Thanks to 9/11 and the ensuing war on terror, ever American is familiar with the negative connotations of “Allahu Akbar”.

@AP 
We deleted a tweet about a Fresno slaying suspect shouting "God is great." It failed to note he said it in Arabic. A new tweet is upcoming.

BTW, Allah Akbar does not mean "god is great", as always reported.  It means "Allah is Greater" or "Allah is the greatest".

What was it Orwell had to say about language?
