How We Analyze the News
Here’s a basic guied on how to break down news stories—so we don’t get played, pacified, or poisoned by the narrative.
1. Start with the Bare Bones
We strip away all adjectives, opinions, and spin. Just the chain of reported events: Who did what, when, and where—without interpretation. That’s our anchor.
2. Check the Source
We ask: Who’s talking? What’s their agenda? Who benefits from you believing this version of events? We weigh the built-in bias of the outlet and the quoted voices.
3. Spot the Spin
We look at how the story is framed. Is it emotional? Does it hide agency? Is it using moral language to push a political goal? We identify the techniques used to steer your perception.
4. Ask: Why Now? Why This?
Every story has a function. Some justify future actions. Some distract. Some soften the public before a policy drop. We decode the purpose behind the story being told.
5. Measure Relevance
Does this matter to the Muslim world? Does it shift power between the West and the Global South? Is it a narrative that helps or harms resistance? We score its strategic value.
6. See Who They’re Aiming At
Who is this message for? Is it trying to pacify Muslims, cleanse Western guilt, or discourage Global South defiance? Knowing the target reveals the intention.
7. Identify What’s Missing
What facts are left out? What questions aren’t asked? What voices are excluded? The omissions tell you as much as what’s included.
8. Look From the Future
We ask: If we’ve already won—if Muslim sovereignty and justice are established—how would we look back on this moment? That keeps our vision anchored and our response strategic.
