Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

New York Times columnist Charles Blow joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Thursday’s installment of The ReidOut to react to the reaction to the New Orleans New Year’s truck attack by an ISIS supporter that killed 14 people where he claimed that the big problem is that the attack was “one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic,” and that allows people to ignore the “really big…

On Wednesday during NBC’s special rolling coverage of the Islamic terror attack in New Orleans, correspondent intelligence community tool Ken Dilanian chose not once or twice, but three times to tie Islamic extremism to “extremist ideologies” like “far-right extremism.” The most notable came during NBC Nightly News when he lumped the boogeymen on the “far-right” in with the Islamists…

If someone plows their truck into a crowd of people celebrating New Year’s with an ISIS flag and IEDs are found at the scene of the attack, what would you call that?

President Biden stuck to form Tuesday by refusing to take questions after his speech on the end of the war in Afghanistan, so they fell to Press Secretary Jen Psaki and she found a cadre of reporters who were loaded with queries on topics such as Biden’s “angry” tone, Biden checking his watch during Sunday’s dignified transfer or remains, blaming Americans for not getting out in time, and…

Facebook has reportedly backtracked after it deleted the account of Shana Chappell, the grieving mother of Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, who was killed in Afghanistan last week.

On Thursday morning and early afternoon, MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance went to work as a Biden administration ally and keyboard warrior in downplaying and excusing the deadly bombings near the Kabul airport, tweeting people need to “#DealWithIt” that people died because it is, after all, Afghanistan. Just before noon Eastern, Nance tweeted: “20 YEARS- FYI there have been terrorist suicide…
