Didn't he recently say that Airconditioning posed a bigger threat to humanity then ISIS?
Sadly there are a few here that believe everything he says .

I don't like Kerry, but he's right on this one, and not just for terrorism, but mass shootings as well. Not calling for a news blackout, but the media in this country bemoans and wails in the aftermath of an attack on a scale the world has seldom seen. In the meantime, more people die in traffic accidents during the first days after such an attack with little notice.
In a fight with another person you don't want to make victim noises as they motivate and encourage your opponent. The same is true for a nation. The media should report the facts, but avoid wall to wall coverage of every detail and every weeping person they can find as doing so actually glorifies the effectiveness of the attackers in the warped minds of those who want to do the same. The result is you get more attacks. We don't need to know what everybody involved had for breakfast, but we absolutely need to know who's pulling this sh*t and who they work for.
We also need to know about the innocent victims so we can stay resolved to burn the terrorists in their holes at every opportunity. I agree. If we ever become complacent about terror, we're done. We don't want to be complacent, but we should take such attacks in prospective given the number of people who die on the roads every day, or those killed by gang violence. The main stream media is doing no public service repeating the same news over and over for days and sometimes weeks, even going so far as to rehash it all again on the anniversary of such events. Terror loses its purpose when it doesn't terrorize the public, and that makes us all safer.

Well, of course its us poor ignorant peasants who need a benevolent state to not only watch over our physical well being, but to insure that we have peace of mind as well. Peace of mind in the same sense that a herd animal led to the slaughter is blissfully ignorant of what is happening.

Censure is never right, particularly when people are being murdered, often in mass. I'll agree that the media does not cover anything like this well, mostly because their journalism and journalistic ethics simply suck. And it always comes around to blaming the gun. But it has to be reported. Just better, but that may well be a bridge too far for the New Pravda.

Kerry would do us all a favor if he arranged to leap off a sky scraper. 5 star idiot and an embarrassment to this country.

Traffic fatalities bear no meaningful comparisons to either gang violence or murders by islamic terrorism. Death is a given. Violent death perpetrated by crime is set apart. Death due to gangs and terrorism are set apart further. The latter two should not be tolerated by civil society, yet due to political malfeasance, we do. Or are compelled to. We need to keep a talley of how much death is inflicted on us by this corruption so people might know what their complacence buys.

People wouldn’t know what’s going on.” Those words right there tell the whole liberal story. If the press quit reporting on terrorism Zero and his cronies would never be in the news again.

But it has to be reported. Just better, but that may well be a bridge too far for the New Pravda. During WW2 the Japanese launched thousands of balloons that carried incendiary bombs designed set the forests of the west coast on fire. Few made it across the Pacific, but they were enough of a threat that the U.S. Government put a news blackout on these incidents least it encourage the Japanese to launch even more balloons. Not possible to black out the news in such a way today, but there is precedents where the public good is served by limiting the public's right to know. In that same vein, limiting the media's over-the-top-wailing for days would serve the public interest well.

Limiting is a tremendously dangerous precedent that equated to invalidating the first amendment. The one 2A was included to protect. I think not. Let them wail and silence them in the marketplace not at the cost of lost freedoms.

Embedded reporting started during the Vietnam conflict, and has been nothing but a detriment - period.

Let them wail and silence them in the marketplace not at the cost of lost freedoms. The 2nd amendment is already limited to a large degree for public safety reasons and is under even greater assault because of the abuse of the 1st amendment, not to inform the public, but to gratify the morbid curiosity of some, feed the wallowing pity of some others, and for ratings. Better to limit the 1st amendment a bit than to see the 2nd amendment infringed in to extinction.

If the public has a "RIGHT-to-know," then they have a right. The limitation of rights is an act of deception and sabotage against another. I'll take care of me and my own based on the information that I have. You or anyone else limiting that information is an act of sabotage against my survival.

MSM limits information now. Even the fact-checkers need their facts checked.

Who died and made you king? No one. What I said is a matter of history and fact. If the public has a "RIGHT-to-know," then they have a right. The limitation of rights is an act of deception and sabotage against another. And yet every right has limitations, such as it being illegal to yell "Fire" in a crowed theater unless there is a fire. Why? Because public safety overrules the 1st amendment in some cases. The point I've been making is that the news about a terrorist attack is fine and should continue, but the mainstream media's coverage is more knee knocking and gnashing of teeth than informative and actually plays into the hands of the terrorists. How else do you explain how a loud noise was able to cause mass panic that closed down LA airport for hours this last weekend. I'll take care of me and my own based on the information that I have. You or anyone else limiting that information is an act of sabotage against my survival. Those who don't understand the difference between useful information and wound licking sabotage their own survival.

Those who have no information cannot make their own decision about its usefulness.
No one in America needs the MSM deciding for them what is good for them to know. No one.
