Insane: NYC Explosion IGNORED By All Local TV Stations Including Two 10PM Newscasts
Showbiz 411 ^ | September 17, 2016 | Roger Friedman

There’s been an explosion on West 23rd St. in Chelsea between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. I’m watching TV in New York. The whole thing is being ignored. Maybe 25 people have been hurt.

We have two 10pm newscasts– on Fox 5 and Channel 11. Neither of them has cut into sports broadcasting to report the story.

The local network affiliates– NBC, ABC, CBS– not a word.

We are in the most media centric city in the world, mind you.

CNN is trying to cover the story but Don Lemon can’t figure out where Chelsea is, or where the explosion is. He keeps saying it’s between Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenue. So he knows nothing.

But, good news! Bill DeBlasio is on his way. Good luck to him. West 23rd Street now has one lane in each direction because they’ve put in a bus lane.

By the way, the place where this happened is not full of restaurants and art galleries. It’s kind of a business district, and not heavily trafficked at night. It’s a strange spot for a bomb.

Government leaders want bombings and standings to be commonplace in our society. Have you noticed that Muslims are more violent around their holidays?

It is progressive to follow orders of a mosque controled by foreign government and spies. It is globalist and progressist to have government control churches and congregants that way.

(from the article):" The local network affiliates– NBC, ABC, CBS– not a word. "

I was concerned about a friend who was in the area of the where the bom went off
I was on the phone with them , and it wasn't until 10:35 PM that there was mention on the local NYC news.
Apparently, no one wanted to interrupt Zero's speech on radio and TV - so the news didn't get out until later.

If your goal is to reduce liberty, terrorism helps you to achieve your goal.

Its the new normal, hopefully Trump will take the MSM apart piece by piece. See its just not happening until Shepard Smith can apply his makeup and pantyhose and to then blame it all on a bigoted Trump.

Shepard Smith, the The Fox News Channel “Point” man for these types of FNC “Headliner Stories” was nowhere to found. I guess he was in Washington, DC, adoring POTUS, Obama, as he told the African-Americans he has so rotally screwed, to vote for Hillary Clinton. She was there too....looking like the “Grim Reaper” was about to visit!!!

Islam is an evil idealogy that promotes the oppression of women, lying, slavery, the killing of gays and non-believers. Islam is an anethma to the Constitution of the United States! Islam has no place in western civilization.

Hopefully, that will be the end of it.

Obama/Hillary are lucky that the perpetrators seems to be inept.

Terror is good for our lib/commie masters. If we’re filled with fear, we’ll be easier to brainwash with their stupid theories of global warming, palestian nationalism, and other sorelian myths comprising the important mythology of “Liberal Fascism.” (See Jonah Goldberg’s book on the subject)
