Why isn't it news that the US is supporting terrorists in Syria?

All I keep hearing about is stupid Zimmerman.

Update:

@Billy Bob, the fact that they are beheading Christians and Catholics and eating their enemies hearts, shows us who they are. So yes we do know who they are, they are the same people that the US is supposedly fighting in other countries.

    Three reasons:

    1. Americans are only interested in local news. Most Americans are only vaguely aware that there is a world outside their borders.

    2. America supporting terrorists is not news.

    3. America is destabilising Syria and Egypt on Israeli instructions. The administration does not want people to think too much about these countries, in case they realise why the USA in intervening at all in these countries, which just so happen to border Israel.

    Well, we definitely know that the media gives Americans what they want to hear about in order to boost ratings, as any corporation does. We also know that the US media has a tendency to enforce US policy, probably to make Americans feel good about their country, and boost ratings more. You really need to check out Russia Today. Its a great news source. Its biased slightly, but they try really hard to give you the facts. It is several times better than American news sources.

    Perhaps because a certain person with the middle name of Hussein does not want the American people to know that we are supporting Muslims.

    Media sure is silent about a lot of things, including this one. This will be tied to Benghazi before it's over.

    Because Obozo's liberal media propaganda machine doesn't want to portray their emperor as the hypocrite he is.

  • the liberal media would much rather talk about nonsense than to actually question the regime...
