Editorial: was everyone really that busy?

How busy was last week?

Every time we turned on the TV to the so-called news channels, we saw gas baggery, not reporting.

We saw speculation, not facts.

We especially did not see the death of Alexander Missildine noted.

The 20 year old died last week while serving in Iraq.

   She said 'promise me you'll come back.' He was killed in Iraq days after arriving. Remembering Spc. Alex Missildine https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2017/10/02/vehicle-attack-kills-one-american-service-member-wounds-another-in-iraq/?utm_term=.95d95d1ddcc3 …

This should have been news.

Big news.

But ask MSNBC and CNN and they'll tell you it's not.

They'll tell you the death of someone killed in war doesn't qualify for them.

They'd rather scream and whine about hysterical things that they can't prove then deal with reality.



Priorities.
