"Blackout: Major French media outlets stop publishing names, photos of Islamic terrorists"
"Major French media outlets will try a new strategy to curb terrorism in Europe: a news blackout of names and photos of attackers. A slew of Islamic terror attacks in France since January 2015 have prompted news organizations to refrain from publishing information that might offer “posthumous glorification” to deceased terrorists. “The sites and newspapers that produce this information cannot excuse themselves from self-examination on several fronts. Since ISIS terrorism first appeared, Le Monde has changed its practices several times,” the newspaper said in an editorial published Wednesday. The piece, titled “Resisting the strategy of hate,” comes just one day after Islamists stormed into a Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray mass and slit the throat of an 85-year-old priest, Father Jacques Hamel. The French television station BFM-TV and the Catholic newspaper La Croix are both following LeMonde’s example, the Guardian reported Wednesday. We made the decision last night to no longer show pictures of the terrorists until further notice,” BFM-TV editorial.
So this is being done purposefully to censor the fact that all these attacks are being done by brown skinned immigrants, that the government continue to allow stampede all over Europe? They censor the attackers ethnicity, names, cultural background and keep pouring more of them into Europe. All the while hiding the facts and statistics of the "new French Muslim's" attitudes to the west and liberal societies, people that are completely incompatible and harboring extremism in communities all around France. Why is censoring the fact that there are thousands extremist sympathizers all around Europe already, and many more coming in illegally under the guise of "refugees" and humanitarianism, becoming the norm?
>So this is being done purposefully to censor the fact that all these attacks are being done by brown skinned immigrants No it's not, shit for brains. How about you actually look at what Le Monde themselves said? What they want to stop is the glorification of terrorists, which might inspire others to follow in their footsteps. Multiple studies show that if mass murderers are given a lot of attention, a copycat effect persists.
You can disagree with their methods, but don't go ahead and downright lie about their motives. But go ahead and call me a cuck, don't let facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Yes, you are right I will definitely take large media organisations at their word, it's not like newspapers or news programmes have purposefully obscured facts and figures before. It's not like they have outright lied about terrorist backgrounds and ethnicity before in order to play down a narrative. It's not like they completely underreport migrant crime, sexual assault,grooming of children all around Europe?
Oh wait, they do.

What reason do you have to not only assume an ulterior motive, but you also have exclusive knowledge about this ulterior motive? This is at best speculation and at worst a strawman. And even then, if you had bothered to do any research (pro-tip: you didn't), you would've known that this attitude is not unanimous among all French media outlets. In fact, a major STATE OWNED outlet is one of the larger ones arguing against what they consider self-censorship.
But keep pushing your narrative, my only nominally Christian, biblically illiterate, deus vult shouting friend.

google "ulterior motive", seeing as you've apparently made it to adulthood without being made aware of the concept
