Surprised so many in here are defending the press making things up...but goes to show how the bias is effective.
- foldr 10y agoIt was intended to be an implementation of the Muslim ban that he's previously called for, as Guiliani has admitted (as if it wasn't already obvious). Also, most MSM articles do not refer to it as a Muslim ban.
- ubernostrum 10y agoDude campaigned on implementing a Muslim ban, one of his associates explains that the EO was developed after Trump specifically asked for a legal way to do a Muslim ban, and Trump himself has referred to it in his tweets as a Muslim ban. How much more do you personally feel you'd need to have before you'd be OK with someone using the term "Muslim ban" to refer to it?
- gd1 10y agoAll those things you said are true, but it's still not, in fact, a Muslim ban. Someone up-thread mentioned intent being the difference between murder and manslaughter... well yes, but in this case there isn't even a body to begin with. The vast, overwhelming majority of Muslims aren't (or wouldn't have been) banned from coming to the United States. Not only is it not a "Muslim ban", and doesn't magically become one based on intent, it's also a temporary order. So "temporary muslim ban" would at least be in the ballpark of honest reporting. We didn't even get that.
