If you said 'only the third one has quotes', give yourself a gold star. If you added, 'I loathe the left-wing news organization that can barely hide its biases', give yourself a dozen gold stars.

What can you say about an organization that ran cover for a true pedophile and is so far left, that it runs pieces on the racism of (checks notes) not using colored nail polish.

Knowing this, would you be surprised to learn that this organization that once broadcast C. S. Lewis' 'Mere Christianity', downplays outright slaughter of Nigerian Christians?

The government has previously blamed the OLA for the attacks, with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed saying violence targeting civilians and religious institutions was part of a plan to destabilise the country.

The group, which says it is fighting for greater rights for the Oromo people, denies these allegations.

The BBC notes that the OLA (Oromo Liberation Army) say they are just fighting for the rights of the Oromo people. While it's unlikely that this massacre is Islamist in nature, unlike Boko Haram in Nigeria, the BBC makes sure you know:

Previous reports have also documented attacks against Muslims in the area. Residents who spoke to the BBC on various occasions have described the violence as both ethnic and religious in nature.

The Oromo Liberation Army is about 50 percent Muslim, so it's probably fair to classify this as a political or ethnic terrorist act. But that doesn't absolve the BBC of its use of scare quotes for groups they don't favor.

Editor's Note: The mainstream media continues to gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
