Tennessean Under Fire For Anti Islamic Ad

Tennessee paper religious ad claims 'Islam' will detonate nuclear bomb in Nashville

[NEO]

Full page ad in the Tennessean states an Islamic terrorist group is going to let off an atomic bomb downtown Nashville sometime in July.

No idea where their source is coming from and highly doubt its reputable or true.

2020 is fun.

I could not read the ad but my guess would be it's some remnant of the Tony Alamo church. I grew up in a baptist church and the Alamo people would put their fliers on cars in out parking lot while we were in service. I read a couple of the the fliers and all I remember is a lot of theories about the pope being some sort of pawn of satan. In the pre-internet age, it was some pretty out there stuff that ordinary suburban people were not generally exposed to.

Doesn't say they gave anyone a refund. I don't know how they're still in business.

Like the NY Times, The Tennessean also has those Recent College Graduates running their newspaper.

I don’t know how any print media is still in business honestly.

What I don’t understand is how this got past editors.

A lot of things get past editors these days.

I don't even know where their office is now. I am guessing that ad sales and editorial dept and not under the same roof anymore. I do have a Tennessean digital subscription because I need access to breaking local news. It's amazing how many grammar and spelling errors they have when they initially post a story. I suspect those things only get corrected after readers tip them off.

The way 2020 is going, nothing surprises me anymore.

I doubt the editors even look at the advertising content.

Why waste an atomic bomb on Nashville? That should have been a clue right there that it was fake news.

I wasn't there.

After the iron curtain fell, there was some report that nashville was a primary target although I cannot recall why.

It's a rabbit hole, for sure.

Apparently so.
