Here we have a story of a Muslim college student Aisha Khan who went missing for 5 days after she falsely reported she was abducted by a stranger. She caused a lot of grief and trouble for law enforcement only to find out it was a tall tale.
However, look at the difference in coverage by the Huffington Post which leans very Left, and the Daily Mail from the UK that leans more to the Right. Bear in mind that Islam is the “chic religion” of the Left and in this case the Huffington Post doesn’t even call Khan a Muslin, she’s just a college student.
Here’ the Daily Mail headline and their first paragraphs.

Wow, what a difference! The Huffington Post is bending over backwards not to mention that this “Muslin” caused a whole lot of aggravation. That’s what I call a whitewash.
