Here is another truth. Our media, collectively, have only handful of reporters in the region.
Fox doesn’t spend much on correspondents. The buy b-roll footage and cover it with “in studio” commentary. That’s all you see 24/7.
CNN and MSMBC are slightly better but they still run with every release handed to them by the state department.
There is VERY little independent journalism going on these days. The liberal AP probably turns out the most original content. Yuk!
