What's in the News this Morning

CNN:  fades away from baiting Muslims and blaming them for everything from HIV to over-priced tomatoes and instead focuses on Fourth Reich governors who will give no quarter to refugees.  Yes, typically these are the same ones who proclaim a deep belief in God.  It would surprise me enormously if God proclaims a deep belief in them.

FOX:  a day late and a dollar short and still goes on about ineffectual unilateral air strikes from France.  Let the French amuse themselves but it won't fix anything and you know it as well as I.  The chart in a subsequent article, "An Abysmal Lack of Knowledge in Facebook," regarding the number of Muslims in France shows why the knee jerk reactions only exacerbate the problem.

GUARDIAN:  France makes formal request to EU for help.  That's novel after being such a hemorrhoidal bitch to the EU about accepting refugees.  Now they want help to kill people instead.  Can't say I'm particularly interested.  Revenge attacks only make a problem worse and there's fifteen years in the Middle East to prove it.

RT:  a different news medium as there are no garish headlines and they go straight for (gasp) news.  I keep hearing they're biased because they're Commie pinkos but it's not clear how such people regard the grossly-distorted reporting via U.S. media.

Bullet points:

Russian security identifies the airliner crash in the Sinai as a terror attack.  They said they would not do this until they found bomb residue in the wreckage so apparently they did.  Unlike CNN and Fox, RT only deals in facts.

CIA is using Edward Snowden as a scapegoat for Paris and that's not their headline but mine on seeing the CIA chief pimp doing it.

Beijing could have kicked out people from occupied islands in South China Sea ... and effortlessly, we imagine.  That's rather less compassion than Japan ever showed China.

ISIS financed by forty nations, another fact not reported in any U.S. news channel.

One million Syrian refugees have returned to Syria since Russian strikes according to Syrian ambassador.  Verify as you will and this report is what I have read from them.


The above shows why the U.S. news media waste my time, The Guardian is marginally useful and RT is almost always reliable.

(Ed:  that's because you're a pinko)

Sure I am but the only difference between me and anyone else is I'm honest about it.  All governments are socialist, it's only a question of degree.


Note:  the matter of Communism was brought up in conversation with Cadillac Man yesterday and he said Russia is still tainted by it.  I did not fully defend the point at the time but did say Stalin was fifty years ago.  In fact, Stalin was about sixty-five years ago during roughly the same period as Eisenhower in the U.S.  If Russia is today affected so much by Stalin, I would expect to see America today affected as much by Eisenhower.  However, we see across the United States, it could not be less affected by Eisenhower and to the detriment of a nation which had greatness under his leadership.  He was a real general and he damn sure did not get his skills from computer simulations and bluster.
