but this is major news. The US is announcing to the world that it can never again be trusted to honor its commitments, and the MSM should be covering it.

The punditry afterward will be nauseating. This cretin doesn't know his ass from his elbow - his rationale for backing out of this deal is "because I hate Obama" and we all know it. But they'll pretend their are deeper reasons anyway.

are those reporters who are investigating on a daily basis through papers like the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, the New York Times, I think they are doing very well. There are many more publications out there which are contributing and trying to get to the facts, which is very scarce these days.

Yet..TV and cable news has a strangle hold on the American people by a large consensus.

Reading takes focus and intent...TV and Facebook..not so much.
