You know I can't post any "Fox" urls here..they're all deemed bogus.

I found a Fox url...they are playing it down.

Know what "exclusively" means?
Delusianne, aren't you diverting from the OP? The real horror here is that terrorists have infiltrated our military. It is not about the media.

I was commenting on someone else's post which was a diversion regarding the "liberal MSM".

Coming from Texas, I'd think you'd be more worried about the drug war going on near the border.

From what I read from the link, at least one involved was American born.

There were very little details other than they were Muslim.

We don't know anything else about the case but thank God they were caught in time.

We have to wait and see what details come up.

To me most of the alarm about threats, especially in the southwest, should be about the lack of a border wall manned & patrolled by the National Guard when there's a border city that is as dangerous as Iraq.

"The Army has been looking for two months into allegations an attempt was being made to poison soldiers at Fort Jackson through the food supply, but the largest basic training post in South Carolina says no credible information to support the allegations has been found."

He said he is unaware of any arrests made in the investigation.

Here's more..this one has more details of what has happened. Not that there was food poisoning, but there was talk of it and someone reported them.

The Jawa Report: Fort Jackson Five update

And NYT has an AP article :

No, I was distracted and did not realize until after I had posted my comment to you that I was one of the posters who commented on the lack of MSM coverage. I post on several forums.

Step Back, Folks! Nothing to see here.

Nothing at all. There is no story, except for the Fox News and Christian Broadcasting Network Yellow Journalism feeds.

I swear, some people will try to make chicken salad out of chicken shi*.
