In the epitome of blowing Daesh out of proportion, the Daily Star presents the argument that because such an idea is “conceivable” it is worth reporting on. By that logic, we could write the story: ‘ISIS could be farming cows that produce toxic milk to poison your cheddar’. That is conceivable, too.

Blumberg teaches pop culture college courses and is known as the ‘Doctor of the Dead’. The distinction between Blumberg’s fiction and the non-fiction of Daesh is apparently irrelevant to the article.

However, what seems to be irrelevant to the general coverage on Daesh that we consume daily, is the wider context and the facts that are obscured in the process.
