Meanwhile, as the country argues about race....

"Al Qaeda not only remains a threat to the United States, but its capabilities and scope are expanding, a new analysis from a respected think tank has concluded."

we are getting ready to have our ass handed to us.....
once they settle in the countries they are expanding into. France is the current target.

Al Qaeda growing, but less focused on US, study finds - CSMonitor.com

Well, no one should be surprised. With the MSM spending almost all their time on things like the George Zimmerman case, how can we expect everyone to be informed about important things such as this?

If the MSM WERE to focus on the important current issues, it would put their guy in a bad light. Can't have that.

CSM . . . part of the mainstream media, or not?

This is the part that I never can understand: Righties moaning and groaning about how news is suppressed by the MSM. Just how exactly did they become aware of the issue purportedly being suppressed? Flake-job blogs and Pollyannaesque chain emails can only go so far.

If "mainstream media" is only the "news-a-tainment is on television . . . then some folks should consider adding more current events "fiber" to their diets.

Good point, but where will this fiber come from? Basically the broadcast MSM won't touch a story that is not on the wire. The newspapers ALSO get their stuff off the same wire.

SO, where is this objective news going to come from? I don't mean that to be an anatagonistic question. I SERIOUSLY want to see America on a diet of OBJECTIVE news reporting, but can't imagine where it could come from.

Frankly, I suggest a balanced diet. Read the WSJ & the NYT. New Republic and National Review. BBC World Service.

For some, it's as easy as using Google News, instead of a a specific news outlet's webpage.

I am having a special indoor BBQ in honor of the new Royal baby king.

The main course will be boiled placenta, served with sautéed mushrooms sautéed in lemon butter, and caramelized mushrooms.
