Osama bin-Laden & News Coverage: ENOUGH!!

With twenty-four hours left before Election Day, the news networks are giving Osama bin-Laden lots of press attention, and so are the campaigns. Osama doesn’t deserve it. The only news coverage he should be getting when he is either captured or confirmed dead. Osama's message was designed to distract American voters and/or pass on messages to his al-Qaeda terror network. Nothing more, nothing else.

The news networks should focus on non-bin Laden issues, not videos from a terrorist who has stepped away from his radical Islamic speech and addressed the American people in a political speech. I do not hear the words of killers; I see their actions and the need to stop them first, then punish them. Everything Osama says is to fit his own agenda. Coming from a bastard who has vowed to kill four million Americans, his rhetoric is meaningless, and I hope the candidates and the news media put bin-Laden on the back burner. Let Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA worry about him for now.

All Americans need to worry about is getting to the polls.
