I love the USA, but your media does tend to focus on it’s own belly button too much. The rest of the world quietly go about our business.

Are you aware that French commandos have carried out a helicopter raid against a group of Somali pirates soon after they released 30 hostages from a luxury French yacht?

The 850-tonne boat and its 30 crew were seized in the Gulf of Aden last Friday.

The US media doesn’t report on any of these incidents though.

Yes, we are aware of the rescue by the French. Yes, we are aware of the frickin' news media's bias for all things communist. Yes, we know everything you are saying and much more. If you have been on FR very long(and your sign up date says you are a member since 1999)you should know that. The MSM is the enemy of the conservatives of America and is the media arm of the dimwit party.

I’m aware of it because of FR. I think the media doesn’t want to embarass Obama. I know when I told some of my buddies and classmates that the French rescued their people while we’ve done nothing they were pi$$ed.
