Measuring Media Bias in Terror Coverage

Western media coverage creates a massive double standard when reporting terrorism. When Muslims are

involved, attacks get wall-to-wall coverage with loaded language linking violence to Islam.

But when non-Muslims commit terror, like the Quebec mosque shooting or Finsbury attack,

the media goes silent. Research analyzing six major newspapers found they used closed,

negative frames about Islam over fifty percent of the time, normalizing Islamophobia

as acceptable. The Toronto Sun and Daily News were the worst offenders, while papers like

The National showed more balanced reporting. This isn't accidental journalism. It's a deliberate

pattern that profiles Muslims, fuels discrimination, and makes fear of Islam seem normal
