Holy cow! Maybe it's a total media conspiracy to hide the threat of Muslim extremists within our borders.
How are those extremists getting in the country? Oh, I forgot. The same way the guy who mows lawns in our neighborhood got here. Except he came to work.

You will never ever hear me say the word "conspiracy" !
The media, in my opinion, is a total and complete mess. President Obama, yesterday in that ABC special, said something very very correctly. He said and I am paraphrasing...that he does not watch the cable shows like Olberman, etc because he knows what they are going to say...they have their thing.
I agree with that...so much mouthing of these folks is just bad..I am not the brightest bulb in the world and misunderstand a lot, but I try to understand and I try to read facts, not opinion...not always successful but those who watch those shows are simply shortchanging themselves !
The "news" is done with a bunch of sound bites, selected by some producer who may or not even know if he has left or right leaning but it is not in context ever....it is done to get ratings and not to inform.
