Kerry: Media Would Do Us a Service By Not Covering Terrorism

Also the media would do us a favor by not covering Watergate, the economy or the fact that Kerry lost the election. With this creative approach to panglossian politics, anything might be possible.

“If you decide one day you’re going to be a terrorist and you’re willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people. You can make some noise.”

“Perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn’t cover it quite as much,” he said. “People wouldn’t know what’s going on.”

Yes, people wouldn't know what's going on. And they shouldn't know what's going on. If they do know what's going on, they might decide that something needs to be done about it.

This is the sort of thing that gets said by the leaders of a failing regime who realize that their campaign to suppress reality is failing. So they insist that the media no longer just spin, but not report what is happening.

Forget the usual excuses and denials. Just pretend that San Bernardino or the Boston Marathon bombing didn't happen. Don't report on it.
