1.  What type of media bias does Lee Habeeb illustrate in this commentary?

2.  In paragraph #6, Mr. Habeeb states: "And it is not an accident that the media aren’t covering this very real war. If this were Christians murdering Muslims, blowing up mosques, and driving Muslims by the millions from their homes, we’d never stop hearing about that war."  Do you think this is a fair assertion?  Explain your answer.

3.  In paragraphs 22-25, Mr. Habeeb asks the following questions:

• Why the refusal on the media’s part to frame this as what it is, which is a war against Christians by Islamists?
• Perhaps for the same reasons there has been abject silence on the war against women by these very same religious fanatics?
• Is it fear? The media do indeed have reason to fear that groups like CAIR would soon be beating down their doors with accusations of anti-Muslim bias, boycotts, and worse.
• Or is it just a blind spot? A case of bias so profound that they just can’t see this story for what it really is?

What do you think?  Why isn't the mainstream media reporting this story?
