15. Anything to distract from the improving economy and distort to attack Obama...who is really more

dangerous?

The manipulators or the manipulated media that forwards ISIS propaganda with breathless abandon?


"ISIS's violent bona fides are not in doubt to anyone paying attention. They've targeted religious minorities, beheaded aid workers, sold women into sex slavery and have been all-around devastating for those under their rule. But as America debates the possibility of a full-scale ground invasion of ISIS-controlled territory, it's important to note that much of the ISIS threat — namely that which targets the West — has been habitually overstated by an uncritical media."

As Obama said, to thunderous denial by the GOP supported by the parrot media.

We are all being trolled by ISIS - and the entranced Western media trollees seem to embrace it.
