ISIS Claims Berlin Attack As Its Work; Media Isn't Sure

ISIS announced today that the terror incident in Berlin yesterday in which a truck traveling at high speed rammed through a crowded Christmas market was the work of one of its "soldiers".  The German authorities had already said that the attack was likely an act of terrorism.  After all, we know that the driver of the truck, a Polish man, was shot and killed before the incident, and the truck was hijacked.  We also know that the method used in the attack is one that ISIS has been recommending to its followers.  Then there's the point that the target was not just a crowd, but a group of people at a Christmas market, a sure group of "infidels".  It's been clear for a while that this was a major terrorist attack.

Then there's the media.  They talk about how things are still being investigated to determine the "possible motives" for the attack.  With the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor just passing, I wonder how today's mainstream media would react to that attack.  Would we hear how the Japanese commanding officer tripped and sent his forces to attack in Pearl Harbor by accident?  Would the media tell us that despite the Japanese markings on the planes, we should not jump to any conclusions that these were the forces of Japan?  After all, the planes might be Peruvian and in disguise.  What does it take for the mainstream media to accept a reality that they don't like?
