Need I mention why all the pro IDF propaganda from a network run by Jeff Zucker?

.........................

Zucker was born into a Jewish family[4][5][6] in Homestead, Florida, near Miami.[citation needed] His father was a cardiologist, and his mother, Arlene, was a school teacher.[7] He had a religious upbringing and was bar mitzvahed and confirmed at Temple Israel, a reform synagogue in South Florida.[5] He has a younger sister, Pam.

He was a captain of the North Miami Senior High School tennis team,[citation needed] editor of the school paper,[citation needed] and a teenage freelance reporter ("stringer&quot for The Miami Herald. The 5-foot-6-inch (1.68 m) Zucker also was president of his senior class, running on the slogan: "The little man with the big ideas."[8] Before college, he took part in Northwestern University's National High School Institute program for journalism.

Zucker went on to Harvard University. He was President of the school newspaper, The Harvard Crimson during his senior year and as such he encouraged the decades-old prank rivalry with the Harvard Lampoon, headed by future NBC colleague Conan O'Brien.[9] Zucker studied abroad in Madrid in 1983 through IES Abroad and graduated Harvard in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts in American history.

Have you never been on vacation and took a call that was non vacation subject? I certainly have. To get upset over everything means that we lose everything.

I don't begrudge him anything he does to keep his sanity and well-being. He looks gaunt and tired.

Click the link that says "What Obama did after ISIS speech" and it goes to a silent, serene vid clip of the Prez with 3 or 4 others. No text. No story. Just this little pretense of the President being out of touch somehow. I think it's bullshit.
This is how the memes are generated.

there was a failed attempt to rescue American hostages of ISIS.

Edit: Scratch that. That was while Foley was still alive.
