As in your country and else where, we have certain channels who fuel these people's hatred and fear. The channels say they're all about news, but they're not. They're merely giving opinions that their audience believes are facts and truth, which is very sad and horrible. I like to think that the positiveness of humanity shall prevail. Su-sieee!

You are so right about the media- I long for the days when newscasters broadcast the facts of the news with no slant toward influencing the audience. Even my favorite "NBC's Nightly News" is filled with the insane barbs of presidentail hopefuls. Nothing is said about what they hope to accomplish if elected. Frankly, there is no one running for whom I'd cast my vote. <br />Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623569563122986528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926392278934444963.post-33589437559459490872015-12-23T05:36:04.793-08:002015-12-23T05:36:04.793-08:00Melody, Merry Christmas.

You probably saw what they showed about Brussels in the medias which came to a point that friends abroad called us fearing for our life, and we haven't seen a single soldier or policeman here, what they showed was only one place in Brussels ! People worked as usual, shop owners kept their shops open only public institutions were closed (like museums) ! And in the media they said that the streets are empty and the shops closed !! Finally somebody wrote in the metro "If you don't want to panic, switch your TV off" ! I have been to Egypt the last two weeks and got the impression that the Europeans came here to escape the terrorists, lol ! I didn't see a single soldier and no more police as usual !
