9. Street crime, gay rights, women's choice w/abortion aren't "distractions" either

they are VERY real issues, that matter a great deal to millions of people at a
very personal level. not unlike mass murders.

The point of the toon was NOT that those a not "real" issues; but that the M$M
is more than happy to give ANY ISSUE 24/7 saturation coverage, PROVIDED it
does not step on any Wall Street toes.

The confluence of recent mass murders with this conspicuous blindness of the
M$M, just makes their jobs all that much easier ... ignore Wall St. Banksters ripping
off the 99% with no end in sight ... all the while being TOTALLY ignored by M$M.
