Common Sense Commentary: When I was young and naive, I believed everything I read in the newspapers. Time passed and a more mature mind told me some of it wasn't true. Then, more time, and experience brought news reporters to my church office in Tallahassee, FL. Being interviewed by the press, and the resulting stories they wrote, supposedly based on the interviews, was a really rude awakening for me. I was astonished to read the exaggerations, misrepresentations and outright lies these "reporters" wrote about me and my position on some issue they had asked me about. There were many such occasions when I was asked my opinion on something ... and I kept expecting a different reporter to be honest and tell the truth about the interview, thinking the problem was the previous reporter not all of the reporters at the two local Liberal newspaper. One, the City Paper, and the other the University Paper. The funny thing was, they were never more than 50% accurate and usually were about 70% to 90% totally wrong in what they reported.... about me or one of our several ministries or my opinion on an issue. I finally just refused to give interviews to either paper. They are worse today than they were back then. From that experience, I estimate that most of what is reported by the news media is as best inaccurate and at worst ... agenda based lies. To this day I do not read newspapers or news magazines , and cannot bear watching CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC or CNBC. I read and watch FOX but do not automatically believe everything I read or hear from any of the major news outlets. Thank God for those few conservative guys with their own news shows and commentary.

Islamic terrorists operating in Mexican border city
From Patriot Update
Thursday, September 18, 2014
Federal law enforcement sources in El Paso say that a United States congressman called their office to prohibit contact with Judicial Watch in the aftermath of a disturbing story confirming that Islamic terrorists are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez.
Sources tell JW that Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat who represents El Paso in the U.S. House of Representatives, telephoned the area offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) in an effort to identify—and evidently intimidate—sources that may have been used by JW. On August 29 JW reported that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is working in Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED).
In the piece JW cites high-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources confirming that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat. In the aftermath of JW’s story Ft. Bliss, an El Paso Army base near Juarez, increased security measures and the sheriff in Midland County Texas—located halfway between Ft. Worth and El Paso—confirmed that he received an alert bulletin warning from the feds that ISIS may have formed a terrorist cell in or near Juarez.
O’Rourke evidently believes that someone on the inside is feeding JW information because the facts in all our reporting have been correct, according to government sources with first-hand knowledge of the matter. “He called the El Paso offices of the FBI, HSI and USBP asking if anyone was talking to Judicial Watch,” one inside source told JW this week. O’Rourke’s calls were followed by a memo that came down through the chain of command threatening to terminate or criminally charge any agent who speaks to media of any kind. This would include JW, a nonprofit legal watchdog that has broken a number of government corruption stories on its website and newsletter.
