What's disturbing is the media's silence on who is funding groups like ISIS. Why it's our 2nd bestest friends in the region and they're doing a fine job of dragging us into their proxy war with Iran.

The media isn't silent. It's just that their funding mechanism is more complex than can be put into a soundbite or a news marque on the bottom of the screen.
