American media advance terrorists’ goals

Today I sent the following short memorandum to a senior official in the U.S. government, suggesting how our media are effectively helping the mass-murdering butchers known as ISIS, which misnames itself the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria:

{mosads}American television has become a propaganda arm for ISIS terrorists, providing viewers almost nonstop video of Americans worried about going to shopping malls and being killed by ISIS; Kurdish peshmerga troops in cages possibly to be burned alive by ISIS; and three young British women going to join ISIS with stories about women being recruited by ISIS. It is extraordinary. We are giving free television “ads” to ISIS to run recruiting for their killings. It would actually be better if American television would run the full videos of sadistic ISIS killings so people would see exactly who and what we are dealing with.

Compared to the free “advertisements” American television is donating to ISIS, we offer little to nothing in the battle of ideas. Our most lethal “boots on the ground” are Shiiite militias who hate us and attack Iraqi Sunnis and turn them towards ISIS. And we may soon be dependent on a corrupt Egyptian dictator with fully populated political prisons to bail us out.

I propose Plan B.
