Uh, absence of American troops today is not peace. The world is a much less peaceful place today than it was six years ago. Putin's on the move, the Norks are gaining, and evil Islamists are freely slaughtering people in Iraq and Syria. That ain't peace.
If there’s a conflict in the forest and no one reports it, is it really a conflict?
I’ll make it real simple. Of those on the list of likely presidential candidates running in 2016, Ted Cruz is the ONLY one that I will vote for in the general election.
Not that it matters, since I live in Massachusetts so my vote never counts anyway.
But if I lived in Florida or Ohio, I would take the same position.
I’m surprised Townhall published an article that cites Slate and Harvard sociology professors as authority. Going through that article was like the Olympic slalom; I couldn’t count the number of red flags I had to go around.
Maybe on Mars, where no-one lives.
Because we never got to see his X-files.
If you factor in money laundering and the free ride 24/7 promotions from the MSM, Juan and Mutt were outspent exponentially.
The BBC earlier this month reported the near-catastrophic results of an experiment by a paper in southern Russia in reporting only good news for a day:The upshot is that the conceit that “journalism is the first draft of history” is poppycock. Journalism is blind to good news.The City Reporter, based in Rostov-on-Don, says it lost two-thirds of its readers after deciding to publish only good news for just one day. “Do you feel like you are surrounded by negative information? You don’t want to read the news in the morning?” the website had asked its readers. “Do you think good news is a myth? We’ll try to prove the opposite tomorrow!” On 1 December, as promised, the website carried only positive headlines. …This is well rooted in human psychology. As Kahneman and Tvirsky demonstrated, people are more than twice as likely to engage in risk-avoidant than opportunity-seeking behavior. People tend toward vigilance toward threats, real and imagined.But as uplifting as they were intended to be, the good news stories sent readership numbers plummeting. “We looked for positives in the day’s news, and we think we found them,” wrote deputy editor Viktoriya Nekrasova on Facebook. “But it looks like almost nobody needs them. That’s the trouble.” The following day, the City Reporter decided to return to more reliable staples: car crashes and burst water pipes.
That is justifiable from the perspective of the business interest of journalism, as this article explicates. But restricting your attention to what is in the business interest of journalists is the furthest thing from objectivity.
I think I’ll go to Chicago, Nigeria, Syria, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan...pretty much all of Africa, now that I think about it...pretty much every inch of the Muslim world...and lets not forget about the ever increasing crime rates in Europe because of, surprise surprise, mass migration by muslims...and let all of those people know that the world is more peaceful. I’m sure they’ll all agree.
And lets not forget about all the famine in North Korea. Dissidents and activists going to prison in China and Cuba. And lets not also forget about the Mexican Cartels and pretty much all of Central and South America.
