In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s terror attack, the worst in New York City since September 11, 2001, for some bizarre reason, Tapper felt the self-righteous need to say this: “The Arabic chant, Allahu Akbar, God is great, sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances, and too often we hear it being said in moments like this.” Let us begin with the misleading part. “Allahu Akbar” does not mean “God is great.” It means, “Allah is greater.” The left-wing CNN also misinterpreted this in a chyron. And the difference is all the difference. As Breitbart News has reported, “Allahu Akbar” is the “aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it.” In other words, “Allahu Akbar” is not some benign chant declaring “God is great.” Rather, it is a belligerent cry of religious and cultural supremacism. But on top of misleading his viewers, there is the jaw-dropping inappropriateness of Tapper’s imperious reminder that “Allahu Akbar” is “sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances.” As Cheryl K. Chumley of the Washington Times accurately points out, “so was Heil Hitler” said at weddings, funerals, family reunions, and children’s birthday parties. But who thinks offering that kind of context is anything but unseemly? So not only were Tapper’s comments tasteless and inaccurate, to deflect from the deserved criticism, he decided to portray himself as the victim of the eeeeevil right-wing media. Using one of his transparent semantic arguments, Tapper publicly freaked out and launched a hysterical Twitter crusade declaring his critics a liar, including those who quoted him directly, like Sean Hannity, who did nothing more than broadcast video of the segment in question: Another lie, this time from the Washington Times' @ckchumley, claiming i said something i never said. Just a blatant lie. https://t.co/9hHDkLaWnv — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 There was a time when one could tell the difference between Fox and the nutjobs at Infowars. It’s getting tougher and tougher. Lies are lies https://t.co/stYjntoJUq — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 Here's where the lie started, with @NGivasDC at @DailyCaller who isn't familiar with how an adjective modifies a noun. https://t.co/I3nA89wj4N — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 .@NGivasDC — the adjective "beautiful" modified the noun "circumstances." Not the Arabic prayer. Not sure if you're dim or purposely lying — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 Hannity lying now. The @FoxNews tweet I was referring to has been deleted because it was false. https://t.co/WPQtgzNGuU — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 And, no surprise, @SebGorka lies as well, claiming i said Allahu Akbar was a "beautiful phrase." Never said it, Sebastian. Blatant lie. https://t.co/Q183XgwXOC — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 Things only got more entertaining from there as the meltdown spread like an STD through those mindless minions forever begging for crumbs from #JakeSoWoke, and they formed a Borg Army of the Dishonest: This is an insane Fox News hit piece on @jaketapper that plays at people's ignorance pic.twitter.com/qVqcCNsNe2 — andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) November 1, 2017 Fox News should unequivocally apologize to @jaketapper for this bullshit https://t.co/yIWzYSCvPK — Sam Stein (@samstein) November 2, 2017 Straighten up, @FoxNews. https://t.co/6xAy7LVDLL — Kevin D. Williamson (@KevinNR) November 2, 2017 I stand with Jake. He is exactly right. In my random sample of people in TX: 98% trust Jake, 1% trust Fox News, 1% said go astros! — Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) November 2, 2017 This is an unacceptable & baseless mischaracterization of my colleague @jaketapper’s factual comment. #FactsFirst https://t.co/6fyNdxa3FP — Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) November 1, 2017 The King of Fake News did not achieve that moniker by accident. As has been detailed here, Tapper’s outrageously dishonest semantic arguments (e.g. I did not say Allahu Akbar is “beautiful”; I said it is said during the “most beautiful of circumstances”) are the failing, left-wing anchor’s stock-in-trade when it comes to spreading fake news. Among other things, Tapper has hid behind the slippery shield of semantics to continue to spread the debunked lie that President Trump mocked a reporter’s disability, to pretend Trump did not disavow David Duke, and to mislead his viewers into believing Trump failed to express condolences after a terrible attack on a mosque in Canada. But this is not the first time Tapper has publicly lost his poise. This video from election night 2016, pretty much says it all: 
CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is already dealing with humiliating ratings and a reputation implosion, decided to put on a public spectacle Wednesday over the criticism of his blatantly inappropriate and misleading comments surrounding the Islamic cry of “Allahu Akbar.”

It makes no difference what that effeminate douche bag says. He works for CNN,which is a leftist propaganda organ,not a news outlet.
Probably not. But letting a lie stand as truth rarely ends well, imho.
Anyone that still believes CNN is an actual news source is too stupid to reason with,anyway. They are and have never been anything but a propaganda organ for a communist police state.
I disagree. When Turner owned cnn, there was a profit motive, imo.
When Turner owned cnn, there was a profit motive, imo. You clearly don't understand 'murikan communism. It's communism for thee and me,but the leadership class deserve to live like princes because of their brilliance and dedication to de po. Not to mention their desire for servant class that can't get uppity and quit when you beat one of them. George Soros is one of the most famous communists in America,and he got his start as a young teen in Nazi-occupied Europe by informing on the whereabouts of his fellow Jews to the Nazi's for the reward money. Then,mysteriously,after the war ended he somehow acquired access to millions of dollars that he used to buy,repair,maintain,and hire crews to man,surplus WW-2 cargo ships. That's how he got to be a billionaire. Hillary Clinton is another example. She also loves the "little people" because she needs servants to feel superior to,and to boss around.
Probably not. I just never considered Ted Turner a commie. Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact.
Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. Are you kidding? The communist leadership OWNED the countries they ran. They had free access to the public treasury,and they defacto owned the whole damn country. If they wanted to live on the edge of a certain lake,they just had the military and the police evict the people already living there,then used state money to build huge dachas with swimming pools and airstrips. Meanwhile,the typical resident of Moscow that was a trusted communist or they wouldn't have been allowed to live in Moscow,was sharing a 1 bath,1 kitchen apartment with one or two other families,and the none of the common party member apartments even had air-conditioning or a working elevator. They did have heat,but the building commissar lived on the ground floor,and he had control over the only thermostat. As a result,you could see top floor apartments with the windows open,even in cold weather. Seems like nobody ever told the Soviet architects that heat rises. Communists are the ultimate fascist capitalists,but it's only capitalism for them. Everyone else lives to serve them. I remember the first time I went to Russia. It was the year after the Soviet Union dissolved,Yeltsin was President,and the dust had settled. Flying in to the major airport there,the airliner had to circle around and wait to land,,and you could see a long 4 lane paved road that led from Moscow out to the countryside where the Soviet elites had their daschas,and some of them were so big I could even see the swimming pools from thousands of feet in the air. Once I landed,I discovered the Soviet elites even had special lanes reserved for them on the major Moscow routes out of the city,and had traffic police with wooden red and white batons standing on every corner in case a Soviet limo and escort came into view. Their job was to stop cross traffic so the elites could just breeze right out of the city without having to stop. Ever heard of a Moscow department store named GUM? It either borders on or is on the same block that borders on Red Square. ONLY Party members were allowed to shop there,and it was the only store in Moscow where you could buy western appliances. The people/drones had to make do with Soviet appliances,which might or might not work. EVERYTHING was about status and privilege. EVERYTHING. Red Ted would have been right at home there. BTW,if you want to find out about his political POV,check out CNN's "Operation Tailwind" news show. It was to be their headline show that boosted their rep,and it was an "expose" of "American Green Berets using nerve gas to poison innocent Laotian women and children in a Laotian village where US POW's were being held. According to CNN,the purpose was to execute the POW's,and the women and children were just "acceptable collateral damage". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tailwind CNN ended up killing the show after that one episode,and having to pay out millions in defamation charges to the soldiers on that raid,or their surviving families. They fired Peter Arnett and the woman associate (April Oliver ),and everyone else that worked that show under Teds supervision,and last I heard the best job Arnett has been able to find since then is working for a Arab news organization. I haven't heard of any of the others working anywhere,but I assume someone hired them to work off-camera.

So I have been led to believe. "Capitalism for me, communism for thee" is how it has been phrased. In Turner's case, I have read, that was especially true when it came to private property and property rights, iirc.
Nice anecdote about the end of the USSR. For all the fuss over Russia now, they are pikers compared to the Soviets.
I have little use for wiki but I do remember the Tailwind scandal.
