Truly Absurd Salon Headline: ‘Fox News’ War on Muslims – Ailes, O’Reilly and Hannity Have Stoked Islamophobia’

On the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the horrendously liberal website Salon published a piece with the truly absurd headline, “Fox News’ War on Muslims: Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity have stoked Islamophobia — and encouraged right-wing ignorance.”

The contents – excerpted from Nathan Lean’s book “The Islamophobia Industry: How the Right Manufactures Fear of Muslims” – were stocked with misinformation about America’s leading cable news channel:

The Islamophobia industry also goes to great lengths to sell its message to the public…in many cases the very networks that spread their product are themselves participants in the ruse to whip up public fear of Muslims…it is a relationship of mutual benefit, where ideologies and political proclivities converge to advance the same agenda.

@rangerrebew, this is a little confusing.  The link you posted goes to another article.  The correct link is:  https://usconstitutionalfreepress.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/truly-absurd-salon-headline-fox-news-war-on-muslims-ailes-oreilly-and-hannity-have-stoked-islamophobia/, but that's an old, old story from 2012.  Was that what you meant to do?
