If it bleeds, it leads. If it doesn't bleed, stab it. Welcome to infotainment. I don't see this as a left or right issue.

First, how many mosques are in that area? You can tell me how many churches, how many mosques? How many synagogues, Buddhist temples, any Hindu houses of worship around there?
|
I had a cursory glance using Google maps. I didn't see any other houses of worship. Though it's possible they are there, or maybe a bit further away. I would be a bit surprised to find something else that close.

Secondly, if CNN could find opposition to it they would and use it... sounds like you pointed out a good point they would use... "There are 3 there why should another go up".

This goes back to my point above.

Thirdly, I don't understand the whole argument and maybe that's why I look at it the way I do. I don't care what goes up there and I find it foolish to argue about. Again, is this an issue because there was enough of a cry against it, or is it an issue because the press desired to make it such and build up a frothing?
|
Um, I'm not entirely sure who is responsible for the frothing. The media to me seems more like a vehicle than the cause.

Either way, it helps take focus off a war, off an economy falling apart, off high unemployment and all the issues that we truly should be focussed on.

Just like the World Cup!
