Title: Foreigners shot dead at Burkina Faso luxury hotel Post by: Douchepool on January 16, 2016, 06:44:19 AM http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35332792
More violence by "peaceful" Muslims...barely a peep in the Western media, of course.

The first four major news outlets I checked--the websites for NY Times, Washington Post, NPR, and Wall Street Journal--all had prominent, "above the fold" (if one can use that term in the digital realm) stories on it.

Did not see it on the US networks then. Fox had it early yesterday. But, 4 Iranian hostages have been released, including the Washington Post guy reporter. Now on yahoo. There was a deal for 7 others in a "sanctions related swap." That is on Fars New agency. Some other stuff on usa today. The numbers have shifted to 5 - including an American student, Matthew Trevithick, released separately. And 14 hostages back to them. |
