[malaise]

than Obama's address in Havana

1. I'm okay with that

...at this time I am far more concerned about Brussels.

2. And possible underhanded things with elections..under the cover of the other two news reports.

Where is Bill Clinton (who wants to take away Medicare) at today..we need to keep an eye on him.

3. Dozens are dead in Brussels due to a terrorist attack

It is a bigger story. This attack does pretty much takes the spotlight off Obama's trip.

The entire international media will now be focused on Brussels.

6. I understand that and have been listening to it since early morning.

But we have an election going on to pick our nominee for President. It is the new President that will deal with this type of terrorism. So it is vitally important that it not get shoved by the way side so that things that are underhanded can occur.

4. Brussels is bigger news today

I'm okay with the coverage.

5. unfortunately it is the bigger story, but Obamas talking to the Cuban people brings peace.

Praying for Belgium.

7. This is their

9/11.

8. Bet water is wet and Lurch was tall.

9. It's a bigger story in the short term.

Not so much in the long term. But that's how the news media works: big, flashy, and (preferably) bloody rules the roost.

Obama's Cuba visit is momentous...but the media was already more focused on the latest blithering outbursts from the vulgar talking yam.

10. Before the attacks there was tons of coverage, even in Europe. Today,

Europe is worried about safety first. As they should be.

This has caused defensive moves in several other countries, the EU headquarters in Brussels is locked down, and at least 34 people are dead with over 100 injured.

If this type of attack occurred on US soil it would be THE news item, and that is justified.

11. You don't think it should?

Why not?
