Good news is no news
By Tom Smith
Could the MSM be any more
upset about the successful election in Afghanistan? They seem to think it's a tragedy on the scale of 9/11.
If you ever are unlucky enough to experience some disaster first hand, you'll see it for yourself. The times when wildfires were bearing down on my neighborhood, the excitement of the local press was palpable. You could almost hear them shouting, "more flames! more houses! more casualties!" I couldn't watch the news without losing it. It terms of information about where the fire was, they were useless.
Anyway, it bears repeating that the election in A-stan was peaceful and to all appearances, fair. Which makes it a non-event.
