I absolutely agree with any cynicism towards the MSM, but sometimes it’s a simple motivation: if they don’t have reporters on the ground, they don’t cover it. And they no longer have the resources they used to, nor does anyone want to go where they are no longer welcome. Consider Baghdad’s housing of CNN personnel.

MSM cooks their own goose, in foreign countries under seige, because they pretty much put the reporters in positions of danger by taking their stories and twisting them to suite the political agenda here in the US. Foreigners do hear the stories and become enraged because the truth is twisted....they have no other recourse than kidnap or cut out the reporters and rely on their own people for getting the story out.

Unfortunately without MSM then nobody hears and their plights can be easily forgotten.

Look at Syria, Libya and Egypt now...all a mess...I'm sorry to say the US has created and done more harm than good in trying to dispose of nation leaders....and they seem to be backing the worst groups while doing so...for which makes me ashamed it’’s my country doing so.
