As to Turkey and Novellas for News with Neo-Femme Frippery for Facts

Should the bear come gunning for Turkey, we will have nothing negative to say because Turkey does business with ISIS for smuggled oil and, quite plainly, we don't care if the Bear claws them into tiny bits for it.  Turkey has begged for it.  (RT:  Russian missile cruiser off Latakia coast, ready to destroy dangerous air targets - Defense Minister | Ankara defends ISIS, Turkish officials have financial interest in oil trade with group - PM Medvedev)

Responses from lesser Bears was weak and characteristically ineffectual and specifically 'Turkey has a right to defend its borders.'  We judge this to be gutless, girly, and not at all useful toward a united resolution of a common crisis.

We repeat again our demand to go after ISIS money because 'if you kill the head, the body will die.'  The standard military logic in Basic Training is 'kill the body and the head will die' but fifteen years in the Middle East shows the generals using the same combat logic as Infantry and the simple fact is it doesn't work at that level.  The generals have been ordering bodies killed for fifteen years and the head is entirely unaffected, particularly the money sources.


We're increasingly contemptuous of state-owned rags such as CNN, Fox, and The Guardian which offer novellas instead of news (e.g. Sam Knight and the trees) and neo-femme frippery instead of facts (e.g Jessica Valenti on just about anything), etc, etc.  CNN and Fox are typically so warped by statist influences and money as to have almost no value except as propaganda tools.

Some also look to al Jazeera for another source of more or less objective news.  All sources are biased to some extent and this one is regarded, even by thinking conservatives (as opposed to Teabillies), as generally reliable.

The approach at the Rockhouse is to review, as briefly as possible, the content from CNN, etc which was written by Western state-owned journalistic crap monkeys and compare that to the content from Eastern state-owned journalistic crap monkeys to determine which stories fall out of the bottom (i.e. were covered by one side and not the other).

It's the fall out the bottom stories of highest interest because then we ask why did one set of state-owned journalistic crap monkeys cover it while the other team did not.  We see a whole lot of news in this sort of thing .... but it's rarely reported.  Instead we get novellas about trees.


(Ed:  why did you not slash Sam Knight yesterday?)

We respect his content and his writing ability whereas with most journos we don't but we aren't looking for novellas as news.  Every journo thinks he has a book inside his / her soul but that's for after the newspaper and not for within it.  Arguing that point online goes nowhere so my response was to carry on.
