" Only time I go to the broadcast newsies "

Given my (loudly and oft proclaimed) disdain for the broadcast media, I admit that I do keep it on (mostly as background 'white-noise') most of the time that I'm home...

To me, it's an important and significant data-point to know what the 'great-unwashed' are being told to believe -- it helps me to understand (and sometimes even predict) the seemingly inane reactions by our gummint to many situations.

LOL!

I've found that it helps to have my furniture arranged so that my back is turned to the TV when I'm at my 'puter -- it's somehow not quite as disgusting if I don't actually *watch* it....

;~)

And all of those people he tortured and killed, all of those women and girls he raped and murdered grew up in the lap of luxury???

Suddenly compassion is the be all and end all??? That's enabling someone -- a despot!

Ptui! :-p (not directed at you, of course)

And are they shedding a tear for the young men that he treated terribly, or speculating what they might choose to do in retaliation as they become older men, in places of power?

They only see one face in the photo album at a time, they are incapable of viewing a complex composition and holding multiple concepts in their tiny little brains...

Happy New Year's Eve Eve. :-)

Do you think they might express their rage there, and not hold it in until they get 'home?' LOL

I would hate for any of them to develop ulcers by suppressing their feelings...

HNYEE, Cake_crumb. :-)

~~~The report, entitled "Palestinian Journalists Caught in the Gaza Crossfire" and based on a fact-finding mission carried out by RWB earlier this month, scathed Palestinian factions "that do not hesitate to target media that criticize them."~~~

CNN will have all of the Exclusives....

And still the Kassams fall:

A Kassam rocket caused damage to buildings in a kibbutz in the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council, Army Radio reported. There were no reports of injuries in the attack.

Up to eight rockets were fired towards the western Negev by Gaza terrorists since the morning.

Earlier, two rockets fell near near the Kissufim crossing, causing either damages or injuries. Two other rockets fell near the Karni goods crossing near Kfar Aza, and three more fell within an Eshkol regional council community and in open areas in the western Negev. No injuries were reported in those attacks.
