We all need to keep our eye on the ball. Here is an excerpt of the demands. Will our esteemed media tell us which demands were actually met? Like that would be real news.
"Kidnappers' demands
Extracts from the statement from the group holding the journalists.
'You have angered us and we are not among those who wilt when angered, but the fountains of Islam erupt within us.'
'Here we are giving you another chance, and God knows how many times we have: We will exchange the male and female Muslim prisoners in America's prisons with the prisoners we have. The result will be according to the action.'
'Release our prisoners that you have and we release what we have. It goes for everybody. Although the soul of one Muslim is more precious and dignified than a thousand Bushes, the exchange is between peers.'
'We will grant you 72 hours starting midnight tonight, in which you come together and consult each other. If you carry out our condition, we carry out our promise. Or you wait and we will wait with you.'"

New Zealand has better press coverage than the US.
We all need to keep our eye on the ball, is right.
