Far Right News Tactics

In the UK city of Bolton, as part of the Covid19 lockdown, social venue like pubs had to close; however, religious buildings were allowed to stay open.

Self-proclaimed right-wing news outlet Politicalite ran a piece last month that claimed that: “residents blamed the towns many Mosques for the outbreak and asked why the Government failed to close those establishments” and further states, without any evidence, that: “the towns many Muslim Ghettos have failed to follow social distancing rules with packed families living under one roof.” ⁠⠀

Not only does the article use inflammatory language towards Muslims, but its headline is a clear case of cherry-picking. Yes, mosques were allowed to stay open during the lockdown, but as were churches, synagogues and other religious buildings. Why was this not covered in the article?⁠⠀
