Rep. Peter King Scolds The Media For ‘Mindless Hysteria’ Leading Up To Hearings
All this week, there was growing opposition to the Muslim radicalization hearings led by Republican Congressman Peter King. In case you missed it, here are just some examples of criticism in the media from Jon Stewart, The New York Times, Chris Matthews, Cenk Uygur and Donny Deutsch. Well now that the first day of hearings is complete, King has a message for the media.
King’s statement:
“I would hope, now that this hearing is over, that the media in particular would look back and reflect upon the mindless hysteria that occurred over the last two or three weeks. And not in the future rely so much on what opponents, such as CAIR [Council on American-Islamic Relations] and others, who do not want these type hearings, say. Again I think the hysteria and madness leading up to this hearing did nobody much good and certainly didn’t reflect well on those reporting it.”
Hopefully the death threats King received related to the hearing will end, yet whether the media “madness” regarding the need for such hearings will calm down remains to be seen.
