        at the gov agency where I currently work, I sit next to the "watch" where they monitor all tV news. The Fox "reporting" is - loosi at home Nov 13, 16:38 7
        
        regular news coverage or, like, chat shows? that's the distinction I was making. - b. Nov 13, 16:41 6

      - I didn't say you do but many will. Doing these attacks ends up hurting your own people more than anything. -- nm - zork Nov 13, 16:29 2
        
        they don't care, as seen in their own countries. that's a difference between isil and al qaeda.. - b. Nov 13, 16:32 1
