WNU Editor: I have mentioned it before .... but one of my pet peeves with the U.S. main stream news media is not the stories that they cover, but what they choose to not recover. The capture of the Islamic State's capital is a big story .... something that this blog covered extensively .... and still is. But when it came to finding links and videos on this story .... especially in the past 2 months .... the majority either came Europe, the Middle East, or the wire services. The U.S. media was simply notr there. Is it because the U.S. media does not want to give credit to President Trump .... I do not know. But for someone like myself who always sources from the U.S. news and the international news media for this blog .... this lack of coverage has been surprising.
