Isn't it convenient that Cable News had so many TERROR stories ready today?
I have been surfing back and forth between cable news stations today and one thing struck me as odd. There are a series of stories being discussed that refer to terrorism in regard to the latest scare fest in London. They have stories pimping the virtues of total surveillence, US readiness and, of course, the dangers of Muslims living in the US and Britain.

As of 9:30 a.m., the coverage has been almost 99% London terror event and 1% wrestler kills family. All of the terror stories are divided by commercials pimping roll-on pain medication, finance companies trolling for future indentured slaves and Big Pharma selling a pill to relieve you of all your cares.

1. There must be a "Friday Bad News Dump" coming to be swallowed up by "terror"
or stories about missing white women.

2. Debate
That's because the Dems had a PBS broadcast debate at Howard University last night.

This is News Corp, Viacom, Disney, and GE silencing the Democrats and their minority supporters.

3. like they haven't seen any car bombs in Iraq
24-7 about a car in England found with nails and 50 gallons of fuel but they treat the destruction in Iraq as a blip at the top of the hour.

4. I noticed that MSNBC is now backing off the "terra, terra." Seems it
may have been a criminal act and not terra at all. Go figure.

Brown v the Board of Education, Gonzo, Bush and the other criminals.
