Well, the PP domestic terror story just dropped by cnn. Msnbc dropped it a few

hours ago-went back to lock up. It took a week at least of 24/7 terror coverage for an overseas horrible--and yes the numbers killed was high--but here in the US--its just another shoot-out. I do not watch fox, so have no idea what they are going.

you would expect a similar level of coverage. I wonder why not.

and I'd rather they talk about something else for a little while than rehash and repeat what little they do know (like they did with the missing airplane), and come back on tomorrow when they know something.

but it's certainly weird if they stop talking about the story that's dominating their home page on the internet.

That slant would only help the GOP (and by a lesser amount, Hillary).

This is hardly the issue we most need to pick our next leader on, as the MSM will always give the security nod to the Republicans as they (unjustly) feel they have an advantage in national security issues.

There will be no new updates until tomorrow, more likely Monday.
Seems like a reasonable business decision.
