About the same number of gun deaths in Chicago, over the summer, as US deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wonder why the media focuses on US deaths abroad but ignores the violence to US citizens here at home.

That’s about the easiest question ever asked… The media can’t garner interest in thugs killing thugs, or the degenerate people who choose to live in the ghettos when they can get off their couch, get a job and get out of those slums. It’s too personal. too close. You don’t want to scare people back into their homes, because that will affect the money making machine known as Corporate America.
However the media can totally spin our “Heroic Soldiers dying to keep America secure.”
It’s all marketing…Heroic Soldiers… Keeping America Secure… Axis of Evil… Change…Such amazing buzz-words. They work, and people tune-in. Hey it worked for FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, why not now?
The whole idea is to make the masses think that terror isn’t in our backyard. Though that’s where it truly is. Instead we look 5,000 miles away, instead of 5,000 inches, where your neighbors are being shot at, or raped, or robbed.
