American Pulitzer Prize Journalist Jacqueline Banaszynski Hearts Obama on Finnish TV Morning Program…….

It’s always interesting to see the kind of Americans Finnish TV programmers invite to be interviewed on their television programs. More often than not, the Americans that qualify to be invited -to discuss any particular issue concerning the US- reflect the opinions already held by the Finnish interviewer and the station management.

Enter Missouri professor, Jacqueline Banaszynski who was questioned about her views concerning Barack Obama’s presidential election victory. The YLE Aamu TV interviewer, Tom Kankkonen, predictably asks his line of softball questions which allows the woman to bloviate on her perspectives about the Obama phenomenon, without really exploring the troublesome issues surrounding both the man himself and campaign he ran.

What we do get however, is a stunning piece of drivel that reveals just how much in the tank this woman is concerning Obama, and the US media which she represents, while categorically denying that the media is biased. It’s farcical to the umpteenth power and shows just what an echo chamber the media creates for itself, which is obviously something that stretches over international boundaries. The Finnish interviewer asked the Pulitzer Prize winner how she would describe the election of Barack Obama in a historical perspective.

Jacqueline Banaszynski: The election of Barack Obama is THE most historical event in all of US history!”

WHAT?! Puhleeeze. The Tundra Tabloids does indeed understand the historical significance of the election of Barack Obama to the White House, but to describe it as THE MOST historical event in all of US history … is flat out silly as it is ridiculous.

The Tundra Tabloids would place the American Civil War as THE MOST significant event in US history, which ended slavery and allowed for the eventual election of an African American to the White House.

Over 620 000 Americans died in that war, paying the ultimate price for the US’s regrettable clinging to the institution of slavery. That Barack Obama was elected is certainly news, in fact, it’s incredible news, especially since a man with so many skeletons in the closet got a free pass by the US media. But it could never outweigh in importance and in historical significance, to that of the American Civil war, which paved the way for Obama’s running for public office, let alone for the presidency of the United States.

Please take note that this is a journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for journalism, who goes later on to state to a question about media bias, that the media treated both candidates fairly. She should read up on the UCLA study of Leftist bias in the US media.

What brass and twisting of reality by this woman, the media was in the tank for this guy, and that he got so far with explaining so little testifies to the overt bias of the US media. Banaszynski was lying through her teeth on Finnish TV, and Tom Kankkonen, the author of “Islam in Europe” in which yours truly, KGS, is mentioned, lapped up every word she stated without giving it further thought.

Jacqueline Banaszynski states that “when the media stands behind one candidate or the other, they take a closer, critical look into the candidate of their choice, so (paraphrasing) both candidates were treated fairly and critically by the media“. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’ll leave it at that, for to talk endlessly about, just how much was purposefully missed by the media due to their need to get Obama elected, would increase the length of this post tenfold. Great going Tom Kankkonen, you once again redefine the meaning of mediocrity in journalism! Somehow I think that he would take that as some kind of compliment. KGS

Unfortunately, there is a lot of chronological hubris – our time must, of course, be the most important time.

Liberal elitists have little use for history, though.

I think that the mainstream media in the U.S. must contribute to the global perception of the United States. Eventually, the leftist illuminati will find that this president is just as fallible as any other.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
