AT LAST, ONE mainstream news outlet is brave enough to use the words EVIL and BARBARIC when describing ISIS!  Are they now going to be attacked as is FOX NEWS?

NBC Spotlights 'Evil,' 'Barbaric' ISIS Atrocities Against Yazidi Women
February 16, 2015 - 4:25 PM

On the 13 February 2015 edition of NBC Nightly News, Richard Engel zeroed in on an ISIS atrocity that hasn't gotten enough media attention – the terrorist group's sexual atrocities against women of Iraqi minority groups, especially the Yazidis. Engel interviewed two Yazidi women who escaped from their Islamist captors, and spotlighted that "ISIS is reviving the barbaric tradition of the slave trade." The correspondent later gave a rather blunt description of the group's atrocities: "There's a word we don't use a lot in the news media, but it fits here. This is evil. It was absolute evil by design. This was not a war crime that happened by accident. This is ISIS policy."

There is virtually no difference in how NBC describes Isis in the statement above, and how the President does.  Obama said they were brutal, evil terrorists and thugs, as I recall. In fact, I haven't heard a TV news station miss calling Isis evil, brutal, cold-blooded, murderous, etc. Your problem is you only watch FOX. Reality

And the NBC show spotlighted at the head of this thread didn't describe the rapes of the Yazidi women as Islamic terrorism, either, white boy.

Obama hasn't described ISIS as "evil" and "barbaric"?

You might want to double check that, Mr. Markle.

Where did I say that?

Semi-retired President Obama refuses, and forbids his administration from using terms such as Radical Islamists, Islamic Terrorists or anything else that connects Muslims with terrorism.
