What the fuck happened?

A little over a month ago, right before the election, ISIS and Ebola were the greatest threats the United States had ever faced....and of course it was all Obama's fault.

Now Ebola and ISIS have pretty much disappeared from the headlines.

Funny how that works.

The "Fourth Estate" serves as nothing more than a propaganda arm for the Republican party.

I hear about ISIS every now and then...but it seems to have been pushed to page 50. About a month ago there were screaming headlines all over the place.

What news media outlet are you following?

4. Outlet? Do you follow a single "news media outlet" or do you skim and search?

Listen, I'm not trying to prove you wrong. I'm just saying I can't remember the last day I didn't hear about ISIS as I channel and/or web surfed.

Yes, some people got sick from swine flu when it was at its height, but not nearly as bad as the MSM made it out to be.

but because nobody here is sick with it - it fell out of the news.

ISIS just killed another journalist recently.
