Post; Why is the News Media Largely Ignoring Margaret Hassan?


It makes one wonder. Is her plight happening far too close to the election? The left doesn't want reminders right now of how absolutely sadistic and horrible those who are against us are.

Not sadistic, cold and calculating…

The terrorist want us to broadcast these kidnappings/executions so we will want retribution. They want us to be sickened and put pressure on the government to do something drastic. The terrorist want us to act heavy-handedly, so they can gain insurgency support. The media is smart enough not to become a medium for the terrorists to intimidate and coerce the American people.

I agree. The media is the terrorists best weapon. A great way to spread fear and panic.

Ah whatever. Asking those guys to be reasonable is pointless anyhow.
